Which sideline will Northwestern use this season?
Both. In order to provide the team with as great a home-field advantage as possible, the team will be alternating sidelines this season based on competitive advantage (i.e. weather, time of game, etc.). Determination of which sideline the team will use for a given game will be made the week of the game.
Will I be getting a paper renewal form?
No, in an effort to be environmentally friendly in our business practices, Northwestern has transitioned all ticket renewals to an online process.
How do I request an upgrade on my season ticket location?
When fulfilling the online application for season tickets, purchasers will have the opportunity to request a change in seating location. If you make a request, an account executive will contact you in late spring/early summer to provide you with the best possible seating option in accommodating your request. Seat upgrade requests are reviewed once all seat renewals have been processed. Every effort to upgrade seats will be made but requests are not guaranteed. Any upgrades are based on availability and offered to customers in order of active Purple Points ranking.
What happens if I do not renew before the deadline?
Season ticket holders who do not renew before the deadline forfeit the right to their 2016 seat location. All efforts will be made to secure season ticket holders with comparable seating for 2017, however, seats cannot be guaranteed once the deadline passes.
How can I change my address?
Address changes must be done in writing by July 1, 2017. Please send address changes to your Account Executive or to cat-tix@northwestern.edu. Please make sure to include the account holder name, both your present and previous address, phone number and email address. Changes made after July 1, 2017, may result in additional shipping charges.
Do I need a ticket for a child?
Big Ten Conference rules require that every person, regardless of age, must have a ticket to enter the stadium. Lap tickets are available only on the day of the game for children ages 2 and younger for $10 at the ticket office.
Can I order additional single-game tickets and/or tickets to away games?
A separate email will be sent to all season ticket holders in late spring/early summer for season ticket holders to order additional single-game tickets and/or tickets to away games (subject to availability).
How do I get a parking pass?
All fans interested in football season parking must purchase a parking pass when renewing their season tickets. The only way to receive a parking pass is to purchase it.
Can I order more than one parking pass?
A maximum number of two passes can be requested, but only if you have six or more seats in your account or you give to the NU Wildcat Excellence Fund at the $6,000 level by June 1, 2017.

How are season parking pass locations assigned?
A limited number of parking passes are available each season. Availability of parking is determined by the number of requests received. All fans will be assigned parking based on the Tier system regardless of the number of years they have had season tickets. However, longtime season ticket holders will receive Purple Point bonuses according to the Wildcat Fund Purple Point system that will help their position within their Tier.
How can I find out how many Purple Points and my Wildcat Fund Tier I have?
