No. There is only one place where you can buy athletic tickets: The Athletic Ticket Office. This applies to all University sporting events. We are, however, one of 5 locations where you can validate a student football ticket for use by a non-student. Go here for more information on ticket validation.

A service charge is an additional fee placed on the price of a ticket purchased in advance. The revenue generated by face value ticket sales is distributed among the artist, concert promoters, production company, venue and so on. So, in order to maintain operating costs and continue servicing the public, MUTO, Ticketmaster and other ticket vendors apply a service charge to the ticket price. MUTO sets its service charges far below competing ticket brokers to ensure we are offering students and the Ann Arbor community the best price around.

Work-Study is a form of financial aid awarded to students directly from the Office of Financial Aid. It is University subsidized employment, where a portion of your working wage will be paid for as part of your financial aid package. This eases the financial burden for potential employers, making it easier for work-study students to find jobs on campus. If you are wondering whether or not you have work-study, check with the Financial Aid Office at 734.763.6600 or financial.aid@umich.edu

The reason for the ID policy is to ensure that all U-M students who want to buy season football tickets can do so. The demand for student tickets fluctuates each year. Instead of capping the number of student tickets available, U-M student leaders supported the idea of requiring a student ID to accommodate all student ticket requests. To encourage active student participation at football games, the athletic ticket office provides students with tickets at about half the public ticket price. It is only fair that if a non-student uses a student ticket, s/he should pay the public ticket price.

Yes, they can go to the game if you find students who are not using their tickets. You may purchase validation stickers at any of the four validation locations, or at the stadium on game days (Gate 9, Student Will Call). Once a ticket is validated, no refunds will be issued and your friends and family may use the tickets without a student ID.

No, you may validate up to 4 student tickets per week for any home game. For instance, if you know at the beginning of the season that you cannot attend four of the home games, you can validate all of these tickets the week before the first game.

MUTO is open from 9am-1pm on game days for validations. However, validations can be done at the stadium at Student Will Call inside Gate 9 on the North end of the stadium. Validation at the stadium is only available from two hours before kickoff, until half-time on game days only.

Yes. Any student can use a student ticket without validation.

No. The seat number on your ticket is the specific reserved seat for anyone using that ticket.

Yes. It is recommended that you arrive at the game earlier than in previous years as visual ID checks and increased security measures will slightly delay entry. Gates open 2 hours prior to kickoff.

No. You may enter the stadium at any gate, provided you present a student ID along with your football ticket. Family and friends with a validated student ticket may enter at any gate.

Ann Arbor students who have lost their MCards must obtain a replacement prior to a football game during normal business hours at an MCard station. There will be no MCard station open on game days! Please visit mcard.umich.edu for more information. Dearborn and Flint students must obtain a replacement from their respective campuses.
