Penn State Football Student Tickets: A Comprehensive Guide

Penn State football is a deeply ingrained tradition, and the roar of the student section at Beaver Stadium is legendary. For students eager to be part of the "107K strong," understanding the ticket process is essential. This article provides a comprehensive guide to navigating the Penn State student football ticket system, ensuring you're well-prepared to cheer on the Nittany Lions.

Student Ticket Pricing for the 2025 Season

For the 2025 season, Penn State is keeping student season ticket prices steady. A seven-game season ticket package costs $246, averaging $35 per ticket, the same as the 2024 season. This affordable price allows more students to experience the excitement of Penn State football.

The Student Ticket Lottery System

Penn State utilizes a lottery system to distribute student football tickets. This system ensures fair access to tickets, as demand often exceeds the available supply. Key aspects of the lottery include:

Online Request Window

Students must submit their ticket requests online during a specific week-long window determined by their academic class standing. It's crucial to adhere to the schedule, as missing the deadline means missing the opportunity to secure tickets through the lottery. Penn State Athletics has stated that any changes to academic status after June 30 will not be considered, and assigned ticket request windows cannot be changed.

One Ticket Per Student

Each student is limited to one ticket. This policy maximizes the number of students who can attend the games.

No Guarantee of Tickets

Requesting a ticket does not guarantee receiving one. The lottery system randomly selects students to receive tickets based on the number of tickets available.

Payment Processing

Penn State processes payments when students enter the lottery. This ensures that only students who are serious about attending the games participate in the lottery.

Refunds for Unsuccessful Applicants

Students who are not selected to receive tickets will receive a full refund. This eliminates any financial risk associated with entering the lottery.

Temporary Seating

Some student tickets will be assigned to temporary seats located on Beaver Stadium's west side. Students should be aware of this when making their requests.

Request Timing

The timing of requests within the assigned window does not impact lottery assignments. Students can submit their requests at any time during their designated period.

Accessing Your Tickets

Once the lottery is complete, students who have secured tickets can access them through the Penn State Athletics app.

Locating Tickets in the App

The "tickets" tab at the bottom of the screen will lead students to three choices. From here, the seven home football game tickets should appear on a pop-up screen within the Penn State Athletics app.

Gameday Entrance

Students should ensure they have easy access to the Penn State Athletics app or Ticketmaster and can locate the scannable bar codes attached to each ticket. This will ensure a smooth and efficient entry into Beaver Stadium on game day.

Purchasing Tickets on Ticketmaster for Other Events

The Bryce Jordan Center has partnered with Ticketmaster to offer students the convenience of buying tickets online for other events. Here’s how to purchase student tickets on Ticketmaster:

Go to the event and click on the "Unlock" icon.
Enter your "offer passcode," which is your PSU ID# + Your Access ID (e.g., 123456789abc123).
Limit: 2 student tickets per purchase, plus up to 6 additional full-price tickets.

Fast Pass Entry

Wristband Pick-Up
