Event-focused private jet sharing membership platform Game Day Private Jets says it is expanding.

The move follows a partnership with the Texas Tech University Red Raider Club.

The agreement provides memberships, individual charter access, shared charters, and game day shuttles for Texas Tech donors and supporters.

Activations will focus on football games and other high-demand athletic events.

Texas Tech is located in Lubbock, Texas.

Home games include Abilene Christian, Houston, Sam Houston, Arizona State, Arizona, West Virginia, and TCU.

The biggest markets for Texas Tech alums are Austin, Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, and San Antonio, all 300 to 400 miles from Lubbock, but only around an hour by air.

Game Day Expansion

Game Day has also added Ryan Rudolph as a strategic advisor.

Rudolph has been an advisor to Bark Air, assisting the pet-focused private jet sharing charter broker with route development, carrier coordination, aircraft sourcing, and operational planning.

Founder Luis Garcia says Game Day is “building its by-the-seat program around the college sports calendar, with an emphasis on high-demand matchups, underserved campus markets, and premium same-day roundtrip travel experiences.”

Round-trip same-day Game Day Experiences are expected to start at $1,250-$1,500 per person.

Game Day will coordinate ground transportation and tailgates as part of its service to members.

Family Membership is $949.

A Business Membership is $8,500.

Paid members receive preferred pricing on individual charters and the ability to join or propose shared flights.

They also receive priority access and pricing for Game Day Shuttles.

Other targets include the University of Houston, SMU, Florida State, LSU, Clemson, Oklahoma, Michigan, and Ole Miss.

Garcia says, “We are currently working with a focused group of launch operators as we roll out our initial 2026 shuttle schedules.”

He adds, “As we prepare to open additional routes, we will be expanding our carrier network with a small number of direct operators who are aligned with our standards for safety, reliability, service, and event-day execution.”
