MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – WVU Athletics and the Mountaineer Ticket Office have announced the transition to first-come, first-serve game day seating for students at WVU home football games starting this fall.
The transition to the first-come, first-serve model helps to create an environment with the most passionate WVU students being closest to the action on game day and will help continue to foster one of the best student environments in all of college football.
The student ticketing request, return and on-demand phase, as well as all other aspects of the student ticketing lottery process (including loyalty points) outside of game-day entry, remain in place.
Beginning at the first home football game against Robert Morris on Saturday, Aug. 30, the student section game day seating process will be as follows:
Students are able to log in to the platform HERE or at wvugame.com/students to request tickets using the single sign-on functionality, which is the same as all access points across the University systems. Once signed in, students will be able to request their student tickets, starting the Friday before the upcoming game week, as they have in prior years. If the overall student ticket request number reaches capacity, the system will trigger the lottery function that will operate the same as year's past. The football student ticket distribution policy can be found HERE.
As a reminder, WVU student tickets cannot be sold or transferred to another students. Students who violate provisions of the student ticket distribution policy will be referred to the Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities and when necessary, the West Virginia University Police Department.
