Buying a boarding pass
To buy a boarding pass, you must be enrolled at Purdue as a full-time student. This means you should be an undergraduate student with 12+ credit hours or a graduate student with 8+ credit hours.
The boarding pass guarantees a ticket to every home football game and access to all home, regular-season men's basketball, women's basketball, and volleyball games. Students pay once and get access to tickets all year long at no extra cost.
To purchase a boarding pass, follow these steps:
- Ensure you meet the full-time student requirements.
- Go to the Purdue Sports website or the John Purdue Club website.
- Find the section for ticket purchases.
- Log in to your Purdue student account.
- Purchase the boarding pass option.
After purchasing the boarding pass, you will automatically receive football tickets. For basketball tickets, you will need to request or claim them during a specified request window before any tickets are sold to students without a boarding pass.
It is important to note that all student tickets are delivered digitally. Be sure to download your digital ticket to your phone's wallet before game day to avoid any replacement charges.

Lottery system
Purdue Athletics offers several Golden Ticket opportunities for students to attend basketball games. Golden Tickets give students the chance to buy a Boarding Pass and Paint Crew membership. The Paint Crew is the Mackey Arena student section known for its enthusiastic support, and the Boarding Pass allows entry to all home football games and the basketball ticket lottery.
There are a few ways for students to obtain Golden Tickets, including on-court competitions, a loyalty points system, and lotteries. For the lottery system, students must have a student ticket through their Purdue email address and enter through the student entrance of Mackey Arena. They must stay until at least the start of the fourth quarter to be eligible for a Golden Ticket. If more than 2,400 students meet these requirements for the Indiana game and two additional games, the tickets will be awarded through a lottery.
Students can increase their chances of obtaining tickets by attending specific women's basketball games. The five Golden Ticket games are against UT Arlington on November 24, Maryland on December 7, USC on January 22, Nebraska on January 30, and Indiana on March 2. There will be 2,400 Golden Tickets available for the Indiana game and two other games. Students who attend these games and stay until the beginning of the fourth quarter will be entered into the lottery, and winners will be selected at random.
It's important to note that the lottery system is just one aspect of the Golden Ticket opportunities. Students can also participate in on-court competitions or accumulate points through the loyalty program to increase their chances of obtaining tickets. The lottery system, however, ensures that students have a fair chance of winning tickets, especially for high-demand games where the number of students meeting the requirements exceeds the available tickets.

Ticket sharing
The John Purdue Club facilitates a ticket-sharing program for members who cannot attend a game. Members are encouraged to call their Boilermaker Athletics Representative (BAR) when they are unable to make a game. The office then gives waitlisted John Purdue Club members the opportunity to use the tickets. Tickets are distributed according to Priority Points and participation in the ticket-sharing program.
Members who turn in their tickets receive a gift-in-kind credit and a receipt for tax purposes. To purchase tickets, contact the Hayes Family Athletics Ticket Office. Be sure to use your JPC ticket office account when purchasing tickets. The ticket office accounts are automatically tied to your John Purdue Club account, using your JPC annual giving level and Priority Points to assign tickets and parking passes.
For the 2025 Purdue Football season, the club implemented a one-time ticket transfer that allows you to transfer your season ticket to an immediate family member (sibling, child, or grandchild). You can complete the form and return it to the Hayes Family Athletics Ticket Office.
