Further instructions can be found in the “Signing in to your new account” section below.

Instead of a barcode or QR code, your mobile tickets will prompt you to hover your smartphone near the ticket scanner to scan into events. When you arrive at the venue, open your mobile wallet, navigate to your tickets for the event and hold your device near the ticket scanner to scan in to the event. If you have multiple tickets in your mobile wallet, you can scroll horizontally to display and scan additional tickets.
If you have paid for groceries or gas by tapping your credit card or phone on a credit card reader, you have experienced this “Tap and Go” technology.
You should download your mobile tickets as soon as possible after completing your purchase and prior to arriving at the event. Tickets stored in your mobile wallet will automatically update when game times are set, can be easily opened from your device’s home screen on the day of the event, and do not require Wi-Fi or cellular service to be accessed. Screenshots will not be accepted for entry.
Football and basketball parking passes will continue to utilize barcodes in 2023-24 and will move to “Tap and Go” passes in fall 2024.

Season Ticket Members (STMs) no longer have to download each individual ticket or parking pass for every game of the season! With the new season ticket pass, STMs will only download one mobile wallet pass per season ticket or parking pass to use for entry into each game throughout the season.
- When a STM adds a season ticket pass to their mobile wallet, they will only see the event details for the first game of the season.
- The season ticket pass will automatically update to the next available game when used, transferred, or sold on StubHub. No additional action is needed!
For example, Stanford Tree adds their football season ticket pass for seat 9, which has the event details for the football home opener against Sacramento State. They decide to transfer that ticket to their friend, Axel. When Axel accepts the ticket transfer, the Sacramento State game is removed from Stanford Tree’s season ticket pass for seat 9 and it automatically updates to the Arizona game.
The Axe and Legends football mini plans also utilize the new season ticket pass feature.

Stanford Athletics works with a number of Bay Area nonprofit organizations to provide admission to community members using unsold seating inventory. Since this outreach requires advance planning and grouped seating, the tickets that were donated back to Stanford Athletics in previous years were difficult to utilize. Beginning with the 2023-24 academic year, the Stanford Athletics Ticket Office is not currently accepting ticket donations, but has teamed up with the Veteran Tickets Foundation (Vet Tix) to provide an option for Season Ticket Members to donate tickets to active military, veterans, and first responders.
To donate, transfer your tickets to donate@vettix.org. Vet Tix is a national 501c3 nonprofit organization and will provide a donation receipt for your records.
