As the 2006 University of Notre Dame home football season begins, here are some valuable informational items for ticket-holders who will be visiting the campus:
TICKETS — Safeguard your tickets, keep them in a secure location – and treat them like cash! Everyone needs a ticket for admission, regardless of age.
TICKET RESALE — Adhere to the Athletic Ticket Resale Policy. The ticket office actively monitors secondary market sales and enforces this policy. So far this year more than 600 tickets have been revoked and privileges of the owners have been suspended. In fact, 400 of those tickets were caught prior to being sent to the customer. Those tickets were resold to alumni who lost in the lottery. A Ticket Office Resale Violator Tipline is available via email: seller1@nd.edu. Please send any suspected violators or information to this address.
TICKET FRAUD — With high demand for this year’s tickets, scams and ticket fraud are on the rise. Be very cautious when buying tickets from any entity other than the University. For more information, refer to the July Ticket Office Fraud and Scam Alert.
PRIDE — Protect the Notre Dame home-field advantage! Wear Notre Dame colors and do not provide tickets to visiting team fans!
CAMPUS PARKING — In the last few years there have been significant changes in the campus and surrounding roadway infrastructure due to campus improvements. Arrive early to be assured of a spot so you can gain entrance to the Stadium by kickoff. Many roadways that you may have been accustomed to utilizing are no longer available: 2006 Parking Map.
GAMEDAY PARKING – All gameday drive-up parking is located in the White Field (north of campus) which is accessed from Juniper Road via Cleveland road. Do not approach from the south. Do not approach from internal campus.
BUS PARKING — Bus parking has also been relocated from directly south of Joyce Center to Old Edison Road due to road changes. ALL busses should approach from the south.
JUNIPER ROAD — Juniper Road between Douglas Road and Angela Blvd./Edison Road is closed permanently to traffic.
