How do I get into events?

Full-Time Undergraduate Students who have paid their tuition and fees will have an opportunity to attend all home Northwestern regular- season athletic contests with presentation of their valid Northwestern WildCARD. Students must present a valid WildCARD for admittance - sorry, no exceptions. All seating is general admission*; there are a limited number of student seats. If general public seating for football and men's basketball is sold out and student tickets remain, tickets will be released for public sale beginning 15 minutes before kickoff for football and 15 minutes before tip-off for men's basketball. Students will continue to be admitted on an availability basis until seating is exhausted.

*NU Athletics reserves the right to enforce reserved seating if crowd control or safety issues dictate the necessity. The University reserves the right to relocate ticket holder(s) to an alternate seat location(s) at its discretion based upon conduct, apparel or other reasons.

Football
Students must present their WildCARD at Gate T only for admission. The gate will open 90 minutes before kickoff. WildCARD admission is valid only for the student section (Sections 132 - 136). Seating is general admission within the student section. The student section is limited to full-time undergraduate students only. First-come, first-served, while seating lasts. Day of game admission only.

Men's Basketball
Students must present their WildCARD for admission. The gate will open 90 minutes before tip-off. WildCARD admission is valid only for the student section (all of sections 115, 116, 216, 208 and rows D and higher in sections 107, 108, 109). Seating is general admission within the student section. The student section is limited to full-time undergraduate students only. First-come, first-served, while seating lasts. Day of game admission only.

All other regular-season Wildcat home athletic events

All other regular-season Northwestern intercollegiate athletic events remain free of charge to Northwestern students with a valid WildCARD.

Football
All graduate (full and part-time), part-time students, and spouses of students (graduate and undergraduate) may purchase tickets for a deeply discounted price -- that's only $100 for all six home games! (students are limited to four tickets per game for use by the student and immediate family).

Tickets may be purchased on a season or individual game basis and will be located in Sections 135-136. The price for a ticket to the Eastern Illinois or Rice game is $20, and a ticket to a Big Ten game is $30. Unfortunately, season and individual game tickets will not be seated together. Discounted tickets must be purchased in advance; these rates are NOT AVAILABLE ON THE DAY OF THE GAME.

Men's Basketball
The pricing for men's basketball tickets will be determined upon release of a final schedule.
