1. How does Stanford Athletics assign seats for postseason events?

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 level of engagement with the university and stated price category preference (subject to availability). The following criteria, not necessarily in this order, will determine seat location for bowl games:

Additionally, this year, requests will be fulfilled in the priority order listed in the Ticket Information tab above. Group 1 requests will be fulfilled before moving on to Group 2 and so forth until Stanford's sections are sold out. Group 1 and Group 2 requests will be fulfilled based on level of engagement. Please see the graphic in the Ticket Information tab for more information about how affiliation and level of engagement with Stanford factor into the bowl game seating process. Stanford affiliation will be verified before processing all orders, and Stanford Athletics reserves the right to cancel unverified, duplicate or excessive orders.

2. How can I purchase bowl tickets?

All Stanford fans can purchase tickets at this link, pending ticket availability.

3. 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 each applicant’s level of engagement and affiliation with Stanford. 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.

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

Fans may request up to 10 tickets for the Valero Alamo Bowl. Please note, we may not be able to fulfill all requests for prime seat locations, in which case we will seat your order in the next best available location.

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