Notre Dame Football Tickets
Alumni Are Notre Dame
Notre Dame has the most inclusive alumni ticketing process of any high-demand football program in the nation and remains committed to continuing to provide that level of access to our Alumni. In recent years the University responded to unprecedented demand by reallocating tickets among several groups in order to increase opportunities in the general alumni lottery.
Ticket Opportunities for Alumni
Our mission is to enable as many alumni as possible to return to campus each fall for a football game. As a Notre Dame alumnus, you have multiple opportunities to obtain tickets. You can:
- Participate in the football ticket lottery as an alumnus*
- Get on the Football Season Ticket Lottery Wait List
- Join Irish Online and participate in the Notre Dame Alumni Association Ticket Consignment Program
*Alumni with gifts totaling $1,500 or more will participate with special contributor status.
2009 Senior Alumni Game
Each year Notre Dame contributing alumni who graduated 35 or more years ago receive priority status on their senior alumni ticket application for the designated Senior Alumni Game (September 5, 2009 vs. Nevada). Due to demand from the growing senior population, it is no longer possible to provide guaranteed ticket access for that game. In the event that demand from senior alumni exceeds supply, tickets will be allotted in descending order to the most senior alumni, beginning with the earliest graduation years. It is a priority of the University to make as many tickets as possible available to the senior alumni population.
200 Alumni Family Games
Each year for the designated Alumni Family Game (November 7, 2009 vs. Navy or November 21, 2009 vs. Connecticut), contributing alumni have the option to apply for up to four tickets on their lottery application for the game indicated. If demand exceeds the supply of tickets, a computerized lottery will determine who will receive tickets.
2010 Special Designation Games
The Alumni Family Game, the Senior Alumni Game, and other specially designated games for the 2010 season will be announced in fall 2009.
Ticket Resale Policy
In an effort to curb resale for profit and ticket fraud, Notre Dame is committed to actively monitoring and enforcing its ticket resale policy. Nearly 9,000 tickets have been suspended or revoked since the policy's implementation. Suspected resale violation information can be sent to seller1@nd.edu.
