Navigating the Green and White: Your Essential Guide to NDSU Student Football Tickets
For those who feel a surge of excitement at the sight of a stick salute and believe the collective roar of the crowd can define a game's outcome, the world of North Dakota State University (NDSU) athletics likely resonates deeply. This guide is crafted to provide comprehensive information for students looking to immerse themselves in the thrilling atmosphere of NDSU football, ensuring a seamless and memorable game day experience. From claiming your tickets to understanding game day protocols and even exploring local student discounts, we've got you covered.
Claiming Your Student Football Tickets: The Green and White Account
At the heart of accessing NDSU student football tickets is the "Green and White Account." This is the primary platform through which students will claim their complimentary tickets. New students can expect their accounts to be created by early September, ensuring they are ready for the season’s kickoff. For those already enrolled, the process involves logging into your Green and White Account.
Student football tickets are indeed complimentary, but they must be claimed through this designated account. The system is designed to protect the integrity of the student section, ensuring that deeply discounted student ticket prices are maintained and that the student section remains exclusive to NDSU students. This ticketing platform restricts the secondary student market, aiming to uphold the value and exclusivity of student access. You can forward your ticket to another UND student through your Green & White Account, facilitating shared game day experiences among peers.
The official student section of North Dakota Athletics is known as the "NoDak Nation." This is where students unite to passionately cheer for the Fighting Hawks across various sporting events. If you have questions specifically about your Green and White Account or the process of claiming student tickets, the NoDak Nation is your go-to resource for information and community.
Game Day Access and Ticketing Policies
Understanding how to access the game is crucial. While you might print out something that appears to be a ticket, it's important to note that this is merely a confirmation and will not grant you access to the game. Real tickets need to be added to your digital wallet, such as Apple Wallet or Google Pay, for entry. This digital approach helps streamline entry and enhance security.

For those attending games, particularly in the student section, general admission seating applies. This means all seats in the student section are on a first-come, first-serve basis during all student games. Students are permitted to line up outside the designated student entrance on game days. It is highly encouraged that students exercise caution with weather throughout the season, acknowledging the variability of North Dakota's climate. Furthermore, everyone is asked to be respectful of their peers, maintaining a positive and inclusive environment. Please help keep the game day areas clean by utilizing the provided garbage receptacles and port-a-potties as needed.
Beyond Football: Other NDSU Athletic Events
While football often takes center stage, NDSU offers a wide array of athletic events that are accessible to students and the public. Sports such as Tennis, Soccer, Cross Country, and Softball are FREE to attend and are open to the public. This provides ample opportunities to support NDSU athletes across different disciplines without the need for a ticket.
Purchasing Tickets and Season Information
For those looking to secure tickets for the upcoming season, key dates are provided. Single game tickets for the 2025 season will go on sale Wednesday, August 6, at 10 AM.

With an active annual giving membership of at least $100 by July 15, 2026, to "Team Makers," members are eligible to purchase single-game tickets for NDSU football home games. The presale window and the maximum number of tickets donors can purchase per game will be dependent on their annual giving level and priority point total.
