Football Tickets

Lottery System for Season Tickets

Notre Dame employs a lottery system to allocate football season tickets to students. Students are eligible to purchase season tickets through a formal application process prior to each season through their ticket account. This process ensures fair access to these highly sought-after tickets.

Alumni and Parent Opportunities

Graduating seniors automatically receive a lottery application for the football season immediately following their graduation. Parents of current undergraduate students have the opportunity to participate in the lottery ahead of the general public. Parents of incoming students will receive information during the summer.

Friends of Notre Dame

Friends of Notre Dame who are not alumni are welcome to participate in the Notre Dame Football Ticket Lottery with an annual gift of $1,500 or more. An unrestricted cash gift of $1,500 also qualifies you to be a member of one of Notre Dame’s Giving Societies. With a membership in a Notre Dame giving society, you make an immediate impact on Notre Dame students, gain access to the Notre Dame Football Ticket Lottery and receive invitations to exclusive Notre Dame experiences, including access to private gameday tailgates and events. Graduates of the Class of 2025 and parents of the Classes of 2026 - 2029 will automatically receive their respective applications for the football season with no gift required. All gifts should be made directly to Notre Dame by December 31 to qualify for the following year’s lottery.
