The Deadline to request CFP National Championship Tickets is Friday, December 17 at 5 PM EST.
The Bearcats Ticket Office is now accepting ticket requests for the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic and the CFP National Championship.
Ticket requests will only be fulfilled for games that you've chosen through this process AND if the Bearcats are selected to participate in that game. At the time of the request, you will be required to sign up for a payment plan using a credit card. Once the Bearcats are selected for a specific bowl, we will use this same card information to process payment only if you had requested tickets to that same bowl game.
*Please note that if you requested tickets to a specific bowl game and the Bearcats are not selected to that game, you will not receive tickets for that game.
*Please note that placing a ticket request does not guarantee that you will receive tickets.
Limits
Your maximum requested ticket quantity will adhere to the UCATS Giving Level allotments listed below. Any additional ticket requests may be placed, and, in the event we are able to fulfill those, they will be allocated following all UCATS requests and therefore may not be in the same seating area.
Reminder: All seat locations will be allocated based on your UCATS priority rank, which is UCATS 2021 paid giving level followed by priority point totals. If your requested price level is unavailable or sold out, your tickets will be allocated to you in the nearest available seating area not to exceed your original ticket price point.
