Clemson University Student Football Tickets: A Comprehensive Guide

Clemson University offers its full-time students exciting opportunities to attend home football games. Clemson Athletics and IPTAY collaborate with Clemson University Student Government to update ticketing policies annually, incorporating student feedback. This guide provides a detailed overview of the student ticket options, eligibility requirements, important dates, and other essential information for Clemson students looking to cheer on the Tigers.

Ticket Options for Clemson Students

There are two primary ways for students to secure tickets to home football games:

Season Tickets: This option guarantees access to all seven home games.
Free Single Game Lottery: This provides a chance to win tickets to individual games.

Season Tickets: Your Pass to Every Game

The only way to attend all seven home games is via season tickets.

Cost:

Lower Deck Tickets: \$300 (\$42/game)
Top Deck Tickets: \$175 (\$25/game)

Allocation Process:

Access to purchase season tickets is prioritized via a points system approved by CUSG, which includes seniority and IPTAY Collegiate Club membership.

Seniors/Graduate Students (Undergrad at Clemson - 120 or more completed undergrad hours at Clemson): 4 points
Juniors: 3 points
Sophomores: 2 points
Freshman/Graduate Students (Non-Clemson Undergrad): 1 point

IPTAY Collegiate Club members receive an additional point in the Student Point System for each year of membership. For example, a senior with four years of Collegiate Club membership would have eight total points.

Free Single Game Lottery: Chance to Win

The free single-game lottery is capped at a maximum of four games to allow as many students as possible to have access to attend games. The single-game lottery will consist of only Hill and Top Deck tickets.

Important Dates:

Single-game lottery requests open: August 11-15.
Student notification of lottery results: by August 28th.

No-show policy in effect (Student Government enforcing a two-strike policy. If you are assigned two games and do not show or transfer your ticket, you will not be eligible for future games)
Students can win a MAXIMUM of four single-game lottery tickets
Students that purchased a season ticket are not eligible for the single-game lottery

Point System for Single Game Lottery:

Each grade level earns a student a point:

Seniors/Graduate Student (Undergrad at Clemson): 4
Freshman: 3
Junior/Sophomore: 2
Bridge/Graduate Student (Non-Clemson Undergrad): 1

IPTAY Collegiate Club members receive an additional point in the Student Point System for each year of IPTAY Collegiate Club membership. For example, a senior with 4 years of Collegiate Club membership would have 8 total points. A senior with no years of Collegiate Club membership would only have 4 points. The maximum number of points a student can receive is 8 points. All requests are submitted online by a student where they will rank their games 1 to 7 with 1 being the game they want most and 7 being the least. Students do not request an area of the stadium - Tickets will be assigned to the Hill first, then Top Deck with points being the determining factor. A student does not need to request all 7 games, if they can only attend 3 games then they would rank those 3 games 1-3. A weighted lottery is run for each individual game to determine who wins a ticket.

Eligibility for Student Tickets

To be eligible for Football Student Tickets, Clemson students must be an enrolled full-time student (12+ hours undergraduate; 9+ hours graduate). Students enrolled in co-op/internship courses are not considered full-time students. In order for these students to become eligible for ticketing, they may pay the \$30 Co-Op Activity Fee. Students can pay this University fee at iroar.clemson.edu.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I sit with my friends?

Yes! Free tickets are available in every student section, so regardless of how you receive your ticket, you will have the opportunity to sit with your friends. Tickets are a wristband so they are fully transferrable, enabling students to freely exchange wristbands with other students to keep friends together.

Can I exchange my purchased season ticket with another student?

Yes, all tickets can be exchanged with other students. However, only purchased tickets can be resold, whereas free tickets from the lottery cannot be exchanged for monetary value. A CUID must be shown to enter game to ensure only Clemson students are using student tickets.
