OPTION 1: SEASON TICKETS

Important Dates:

•  
• April 20: Request period opens for season tickets ($46/gm lower deck; $26/gm top deck)
• April 24, 11:59 p.m.: Deadline to request season tickets.
• Early May: Students notified of ticket assignment and charged with seniors and IPTAY Collegiate Club Members receiving the most selections, followed by juniors, and sophomores.

Notes:

• Top Deck Season Tickets are offered to Bridge Students if qualified on points
• 4,653 total tickets available

Allocation Process:

Access to purchase season tickets is prioritized via a points system as approved by CUSG and includes two main factors: seniority and IPTAY Collegiate Club membership.

• Each grade level earns a student a point
  • • Seniors/Graduate Student (Undergrad at Clemson – 120 or more completed undergrad hours at Clemson): 4
    • Juniors: 3
    • Sophomore: 2
    • Freshman/Graduate Student (Non-Clemson Undergrad): 1

• IPTAY Collegiate Club members will receive an additional point in the Student Point System for each year of IPTAY Collegiate Club membership.
  • For example, if the distribution gets to the 4-point level and there are 800 students who requested tickets and only 500 tickets are left, a random lottery will be drawn to assign those 500 tickets; then, 300 individuals would not be allocated a season ticket.
  • For example, a senior with 4 years of Collegiate Club membership would have 8 total points. A senior with no years of Collegiate Club membership would only have 4 points.
  • The maximum number of points a student can receive is 8 points
  • All requests are submitted online by the student: students can request lower deck only, top deck only, or lower/top deck (best available)
  • All tickets are allocated to students by their priority points, starting at 8 points, however, once an entire point cannot receive tickets, a random lottery is drawn for those students

  • The maximum number of points a student can receive is 8 points
  • All requests are submitted online by a student where they will rank their games 1 to 7, with 1 being the game they want most and 7 being the least
  • Students do not request an area of the stadium – Tickets will be assigned to the Hill first, then Top Deck, with points being the determining factor
    • A student does not need to request all 7 games if they can only attend 3 games, then they would rank those 3 games 1-3
    • A weighted lottery is run for each individual game to determine who wins a ticket. Once a student wins four games, they will be removed from the remaining games lotteries

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I sit with my friends?
Yes! Free tickets are available in every student section, so regardless of how you receive your ticket, you will have the opportunity to sit with your friends. Tickets are a wristband so they are fully transferrable, enabling students to freely exchange wristbands with other students to keep friends together.

Can I exchange my purchased season ticket with another student?
Yes, all tickets can be exchanged with other students. However, only purchased tickets can be resold, whereas free tickets from the lottery cannot be exchanged for monetary value. A CUID must be shown to enter game to ensure only Clemson students are using student tickets. Student Government has created and manages a Facebook page to facilitate the exchange of student tickets.

What if I need ADA Accessible student tickets?
Students in need of ADA accessible student tickets should follow the procedure outlined in this document to obtain student ticket(s). If you receive student ticket(s) and have questions regarding ADA access in/around the stadium or your seat assignment, please email custudenttix@clemson.edu.
