The lottery system
Previously, students had just one day to purchase a ticket, with tickets selling out in under 30 minutes. The new system allows students more time to request a season ticket. Students will make their requests online during a week-long window corresponding to their academic class. The timing of the request does not impact lottery assignments.
To enter the lottery, students will need to input their credit card information. However, the card will only be charged the $246 cost for tickets if they are chosen. If a student is not selected, they will receive a full refund.
Each class, beginning with graduate students and ending with freshmen, will have a week to request tickets on the Penn State Student Account Manager. Students will be notified via email during the week of June 24, informing them if their account has been selected or not.
