1. How does Stanford Athletics assign bowl game seats?

Each bowl game allocates a fixed number of tickets in predetermined locations to both of the participating institutions. Depending on the game, prime seat locations (such as midfield or club level) may or may not be part of the ticket package offered to Stanford. In addition to providing tickets for the two participating institutions, bowl organizations are also committed to making tickets available for annual subscribers in the local community and corporate sponsors.

Stanford allocates its bowl game tickets and seat locations based on affiliation and level of engagement with the university. Philanthropic support for Stanford and the athletics program is critical to helping the Cardinal compete for postseason berths and win championships. Other forms of engagement, such as season ticket membership and volunteer service, are also important.

Accordingly, given the quantity and location limitations of our assigned allotment of tickets, we use a fair and established system for assigning seats that considers engagement with Stanford. We are extremely grateful for all the support that Stanford Athletics receives, and we wish to recognize this during an event that is made possible because of alumni and fan support and engagement.

Similar to previous years, seat locations within Stanford’s ticket allotment will be assigned according to the customer’s affiliation to the university, level of engagement, and stated price category preference (subject to availability). The following criteria, not necessarily in this order, will determine seat location for bowl games:

• Annual gifts to the Buck/Cardinal Club
• Years as a Season Ticket Member in all eligible sports
• Total lifetime giving to Stanford Athletics
• Total lifetime giving to Stanford University
• Bequest intentions to Stanford Athletics
• Volunteer service on an athletics or university board
• Stanford alumnus/a
• Former Stanford student-athlete

Stanford affiliation will be verified before processing all orders, and Stanford Athletics reserves the right to cancel unverified, duplicate or excessive orders.

If you have purchased tickets from Stanford Athletics before, it is important that you sign in using your existing online Athletics ticketing account, so we can give proper credit for your affiliation and level of engagement with Stanford during the seating process. Fans who need help retrieving their login information can call (800)-STANFORD.
 

2. I want to sit with my friends at the bowl game. How can we ensure we will be seated together?

Seat locations are assigned according to affiliation and level of engagement with the university. Due to the high volume of ticket requests, and the small window of time in which seating will need to be assigned, it is not possible to accommodate requests for groups from different orders to be seated together (current Stanford students are the exception).
 

3. How many tickets may I request for each bowl game?

Ticket request limits vary depending on the bowl game and are noted in the Bowl Game Ticket Application. We may not be able to fulfill all requests for prime seat locations and will seat your order in the next best available location.  
 

4. How do I check if my bowl ticket request was received?

Sign in to your online Athletics ticketing account. On the ‘My Account’ page, select the "View Order History" link on the right-hand side. If you believe you submitted a request and you do not see it in your order history, please call the Stanford Athletics Ticket Office at (800)-STANFORD. Please have your account number ready to expedite service.
 

5. Are there refunds or exchanges on bowl tickets?

No, all sales are final.
 

6. Is accessible seating available for bowl games?

Yes. By law, stadiums must offer accessible seating at every price level. If you require accessible amenities, please call (800)-STANFORD or email athleticstickets@stanford.edu once you've completed the online application.
