any unclaimed football tickets will be taken to the Athletic Department’s Will Call Window, located

Don’t forget your student!When ordering tickets, be sure to include your U-M

student. Everyone attending a ticketed event must have a ticket. If your student is performing at an event and

you want to watch, you must have a ticket for that event. Also note, student football season tickets are for the

student section only. If you would like your student to sit with you at the game, they will need a ticket as well.

Buy early!Weekend event tickets sell out because of the high

demand and because we have only a limited number of tickets. Registering for Parents & Family Weekend before the registration deadline does not guarantee tickets will

be available.

Enjoy a meal with your residential student!

RHA (Residence Hall Association) would like to invite you and your residential student to have a meal on us.

RHA, the student government in the residence halls, aims to create a strong and vibrant community in

university housing. Have any meal, at any dining hall, at any time during Parents & Family Weekend; we want to make

it convenient and easy for you and your student(s). Register online and your residential student(s) will receive meal tickets in their residence hall mailbox.

ALL ABOUT FOOTBALL TICKETS

If you plan to attend Parents & Family Weekend only if football tickets are available, please do NOT make travel arrangements prior to receiving a Parents & Family Weekend email confirmation. The University will not be responsible for the cost of travel arrangements made prior to the receipt of your email confirmation.

The football game is typically a sold-out event. We have a limited number of tickets and can only offer four tickets per family. (Divorced families are considered as two separate families; see parents.umich.edu for details.) There are NO exceptions.

Football tickets ordered through Parents & Family Weekend registration are part of the complete Parents & Family Weekend program and families will be charged the $50 registration fee, even if you do not plan on attending other events.

If you need more than four tickets per family, or you only wish to attend the football game and do not wish to participate in other Parents & Family Weekend activities, contact the Athletic Ticket Office at (734) 764-0247 or online at mgoblue.com regarding football ticket availability.

Football tickets purchased through the Parents & Family Weekend program are not in the stadium’s student section. If your U-M student has student section tickets, you will not be seated with them during the football game.

NO PURSES OR BAGS ARE ALLOWED AT MICHIGAN STADIUM. If you are planning to attend the football game, read through the list of PROHIBITED ITEMS at Michigan Stadium. mgoblue.com/genrel/060109aaf.html
