Lock In Your Mudsock Rivalry Tickets Before Bleachers Fill

Fishers, IN · September 4, 2026

Long holiday weekends don't wait for the evening bell, and between lunchtime pilates on the plaza and fire pits on the beach tonight, your Friday schedule is already packed.

The Lead

With Labor Day weekend arriving, fall high school athletics are taking center stage across town. Tickets for next Friday’s annual Mudsock football showdown between the Fishers Tigers and Hamilton Southeastern Royals are officially on sale and moving fast. The crosstown rivalry, which alternates campuses and lands at HSE’s stadium on September 11, routinely packs up to 10,000 spectators into the bleachers. Both athletic departments have launched digital ticket sales, and the Hamilton Southeastern Education Foundation’s VIP end-zone passes are already disappearing. Spectators should remember the district attendance policy: students in grades K–8 must be accompanied by an adult, and passes will not be sold at the gates. If you plan to wear red or blue under the stadium lights next week, secure your digital tickets now before bleachers fill.
