The third annual Penn State football student season ticket lottery is set to begin on July 20. Students in each class will have a week to submit an online request through their Penn State Student Account Manager. The cost for a season ticket remains the same at $246.

The “request windows” for student season tickets for each grade are as follows:

• Graduate Students: Monday, July 20 to Monday, July 27
• Senior Students: Tuesday, July 21 to Tuesday, July 28
• Junior Students: Wednesday, July 22 to Wednesday, July 29
• Sophomore Students: Thursday, July 23 to Thursday, July 30
• Freshmen Students: Friday, July 24 to Friday, July 31

Requests open at 9 a.m. on the listed days and close at 5 p.m.

Student eligibility is based on official University semester classification and will lock at at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, June 30. Students will receive an email on the week of July 13 with their information regarding their ticket request window.

As it worked last year, students who submitted a request will be billed $246 after submitting a request, but those who aren’t selected will receive a full refund.

Students will be notified the week of August 3 if their account was selected or not.
