Athletic Tickets

Athletic Tickets

Are football tickets included in Family Weekend registration?

No. Football tickets need to be purchased separately through Sun Devil Athletics. However, once you pay for the Family Weekend registration, a discount code to use when you purchase football tickets is made available at the end of successful registration in addition to the event confirmation email.

Do students need to purchase tickets to the football game?

If the student would like to sit with his or her family, then he or she will need to purchase a ticket. However, fee-paying students may sit in the student section for no charge, just like any other home football game.

What is the cost range of tickets with the promo code?

Please visit Sun Devil Athletics for a full list of pricing options. Football tickets are discounted up to 30% with Family Weekend registration.

Does the football promo code need to be used immediately?

We recommend purchasing your Sun Devil Football tickets early. Due to demand and dynamic pricing, ticket prices are subject to change without notice. While the promo code will always provide a discount, ticket prices may increase as we get closer to the day of the game.

Is there any way to get the discount without registering for Family Weekend?

No. The discount code for football tickets is exclusively available to those who purchase the Family Weekend package. Football tickets are available at face value at thesundevils.com.

How do I get my tickets after purchasing them?

Sun Devil Athletics have moved to mobile ticketing. Once purchased, fans can manage their tickets online by visiting sundeviltickets.com. We recommend reviewing the Digital Ticketing Guide on sundeviltickets.com and downloading your tickets to your phone’s wallet in advance of the game.

What happens if the game is canceled or postponed due to COVID-19?

We do not anticipate cancellation or postponement of the game due to COVID-19. However, if there is a COVID-19 impact then Sun Devil Athletics will communicate options for your ticket purchase which include an account credit or refund.

I purchased tickets before the Family Weekend registration opened. Can I still access the discounted rate?

Unfortunately ticket discounts cannot be honored after purchase.

What COVID-19 precautions are in place at Sun Devil Stadium? Will masks be required to go to the game?
