2026 Student Football Season Ticket Request and Lottery Information

Eligibility and ticket request windows are assigned according to your official University Semester Classification as of Tuesday, June 30, 2026 at 5 p.m. ET. Any changes to academic status after this date will not be considered. Assigned ticket request windows cannot be changed.

Please be aware that being eligible to request a student season ticket does not guarantee your account will be selected to receive a student season ticket in the lottery process.

Students who are eligible to participate in the ticket request process will receive an email during the week of July 13 containing their ticket request window.

Students will submit their request online through Penn State Student Account Manager. Payment will be processed when requests are submitted. If a student's request is not selected in the lottery, a full refund will be issued.

Students will be notified via email during the week of August 3 informing them if their account was selected or not in the lottery process to receive a student season ticket.
