How to get tickets for Blake Shelton, Thomas Rhett at SDSU
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — Come Aug. 28, fans will cheer on country stars instead of their beloved Jackrabbits when Blake Shelton and Thomas Rhett take the stage in Brookings for an event dubbed Jacks Bash 3.
'The students will be thrilled, and I just, so grateful to first PREMIER, Dana Dykhouse and the PREMIER family for helping us kick off the new year with this exciting concert,' South Dakota State University President Barry Dunn said Friday.
'Their tickets go on sale today for SDSU students,' First PREMIER Bank CEO Dana Dykhouse said. 'They'll be excited. Last time we had close to 25,000 people there. I expect the same thing or more this time.'

The stadium bearing Dykhouse's name, where the Jacks play their home football games, will host the event. First PREMIER Bank and PREMIER Bankcard are sponsoring the show.
'It's a great way to kick off the new school year,' Dykhouse said. 'It's a great way to kick off the football stadium, and a great way to celebrate all of our PREMIER staff members.'
School president Barry Dunn says these events make memories which stay with the Jackrabbit faithful. The first Jacks Bash was in 2016, and the second took place in 2021.
'I've been president nine years now, and so I get to visit with alums and say what was your best memory of South Dakota State,' Dunn said. 'And I'm not kidding, the first thing out of their mouth is Jack Bash 1 or Jacks Bash 2, and maybe campus game day. And then it's a favorite professor. So this is a big deal for students.'
SDSU students had their chance at tickets Friday. The general public will have an opportunity on April 25, while university staff and football season ticket holders should watch their email inboxes for details on tickets.
The Jackrabbit football team kicks off their season two days after Jacks Bash 3; they'll play Sacramento State in Brookings.

The story of the 2024-25 Premier League season in 100 photos
Liverpool started the season with a comfortable 2-0 win over Ipswich, while Erling Haaland scored back-to-back hat-tricks against the Tractor Boys and West Ham to leave City top of the pile at the end of August. Elsewhere, Everton remarkably coughed up a two-goal lead at home to Bournemouth – conceding three times from the 87th minute – becoming the first team in Premier league history to taste defeat from such a commanding position. The surprise result of September was Liverpool's 1-0 reverse at home to Nottingham Forest which ended Arne Slot's serene start to his debut season. Earlier in the month, the Reds had swatted aside Manchester United as Casemiro endured a torrid afternoon. Arsenal won the first north London derby courtesy of Gabriel's second-half header. And Manchester City's season was rocked when Rodri suffered a ruptured ACL during a 2-2 draw with the Gunners. Elsewhere, Everton did it again, losing 3-2 to Aston Villa after being two goals ahead. Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag was finally put out of his misery by being sacked after a 2-1 defeat at West Ham. Nottingham Forest rose to fifth in the table as Chris Wood inspired them to a 3-1 away victory over Leicester. And free-scoring Brentford beat Wolves 5-3 and Ipswich 4-3, prolonging the pair's winless starts to the campaign. Manchester City's 32-game unbeaten league run came to an end at Bournemouth – and then the wheels well and truly fell off for Pep Guardiola's ageing charges with successive defeats by Brighton and Tottenham. For Spurs, the 4-0 thrashing at the Etihad was the high-watermark of an otherwise forgettable season. Off the pitch, referee David Coote was sacked after footage emerged of him taking drugs and criticising Liverpool's former manager Jürgen Klopp, while Ruben Amorim took the helm at Manchester United. Liverpool beat Manchester City 2-0 to go 11 points clear of Pep Guardiola's side and nine clear of stumbling Arsenal. They then put six past injury-ravaged Tottenham. Under Ruben Amorim, Manchester United won the first derby of the season thanks to late goals from Bruno Fernandes and Amad Diallo, but they then suffered three straight home defeats for the first time in 45 years. Chelsea's title hopes faded with back-to-back defeats against Fulham and Ipswich, while Nottingham Forest ended the year in second place. David Moyes returned to Everton after 12 years and quickly set about dragging them away from the relegation scrap. Meanwhile, Tottenham ended the month with four straight league defeats, the last of them against Leicester, who duly leapt out of the bottom three. The shock result of the month came at Anfield where Manchester United thwarted Liverpool thanks to Amad Diallo's late equaliser, as Ruben Amorim's charges delivered an uncharacteristically effective performance. Later that month United mourned one of their legends, Denis Law. Chris Wood bagged a hat-trick as Nottingham Forest thumped Brighton 7-0, but defeat by Fulham and coming off at the wrong end of a 4-3 scoreline at Newcastle left the top-four race wide open. Meanwhile the last men's Merseyside derby a Goodison Park ended with fisticuffs and red cards after Everton's James Tarkowski walloped an equaliser in the 98th minute. Defeat for Arsenal at home to West Ham signalled the slow death of the Gunners' title charge, though the month also brought a crowd-pleasing 5-1 thrashing of Manchester City. At the bottom of the table, Southampton recorded their first Premier League win since November as they beat fellow strugglers Ipswich at Portman Road. Liverpool had to come from behind to beat Southampton in their only league game of the month, while Arsenal slipped further off the pace with a 1-1 draw at Manchester United. Nottingham Forest beat Manchester City – handing Pep Guardiola's men their ninth loss of the season, more than they had lost in the previous two seasons combined. And Michail Antonio made an emotional return to the London Stadium after admiting he almost died in a car crash in December. The Reds wrapped up their second Premier League title in front of their own fans with a thumping 5-1 win over Tottenham on a balmy day at Anfield. Earlier in the month, Trent Alexander-Arnold scored his last goal for his boyhood club, thrashing in a late strike against Leicester. Wolves made it a remarkable six wins on the spin, as their uptick in form condemned Ipswich, Leicester and Southampton to the drop. Everton fans bade an emotional Premier League farewell to Goodison Park (although news emerged that the ground will now be used for women's games), Tottenham and Manchester United sank to extraordinary league lows before duking it out in the Europa League final, Southampton swerved the unwanted record of becoming the joint worst side in Premier League history as they picked up just their 12th point of the campaign at home to Manchester City, and the final day of the season saw Aston Villa potentially miss out on a Champions League spot after having a goal controversially disallowed at Old Trafford.
