All seating for any postseason competition, including a bowl game, will be allocated by Cardinal Athletic Fund Priority Points. Ticket orders from fans who are not members of the Cardinal Athletic Fund will be allocated in the order that they are received after all pre-orders have been assigned.
Cardinal Athletic Fund priority points are accumulated through donations and season ticket history. Priority Points and annual giving are used to determine ticket locations and number of tickets that will be assigned in each ticket level.
Bowl Pre-Orders were accepted throughout the football regular season. Pre-orders secured your reservation for any bowl game the Cardinals participate in regardless of date or location.
A $45 non-refundable deposit was required per ticket, which has been applied to the full ticket cost. Those pre-ordering tickets were informed by email after the bowl announcement when and how you will receive your tickets.
