Being a Friend of Notre Dame gives you priority access

To fund repairs to our historic Notre Dame Stadium, Notre Dame is again selling football season tickets after suspending sales more than three decades ago.

The revenue generated through the ticket plan will be used to assist in paying for repairs and ongoing maintenance to the 76-year-old Notre Dame Stadium’s original seating bowl. The exact cost of the project is yet to be finalized, but is expected to exceed $40 million. Learn more about the preservation.

As a friend of the University, you will have an opportunity to purchase the new season tickets before the general public.

How can I participate in the Football Ticket Lottery?

Any individual is invited to participate in the University’s football ticket lottery as a special contributor as outlined in the Football Ticket Lottery Guidelines. Special contributors are those people who support the University at the annual giving level of $1,500 or more – usually through the Sorin Society or one of the University’s other recognition societies. Special contributor applications have improved chances for success to multiple home games in the lottery. Read more about the University’s recognition societies.

More Good News!

In the near future, Notre Dame will add an eighth off-site “home” game. That game is expected to improve ticket opportunities even more.

Preserve a legend

One of the legendary landmarks in American sports, Notre Dame’s football stadium opened in 1930. Like other vintage stadiums, it needs repair and maintenance. Your ticket purchase will be used to preserve the heritage of Notre Dame Football by helping to maintain Notre Dame’s commitment to the “House that Rockne Built.”
