What is a Sports Pass?
2011-12 Sports Pass (undergraduate student): $129
2011-12 Sports Pass (graduate student): $175
The Student Sports Pass is an ACADEMIC YEAR pass which allows admittance to all regular season home events in Football, Women's Volleyball, Men's Basketball, Women's Basketball, and Baseball from August through May, based on student section seating availability. In other words, a sports pass does not guarantee admission into an event since there are times when the student section reaches capacity. The Sports Pass is embedded into the magnetic stripe on your student ID card once it is purchased, and you swipe your ID card at the Student Entrance to gain admission to home events. The Sports Pass also includes "home" WSU Football games at CenturyLink Field in Seattle and any "home" Men's Basketball games at Spokane Arena or at Key Arena in Seattle. Tickets for these home games at venues outside of Pullman usually require ticket pickup in advance of game day. Your sports pass also does not include admittance to any NCAA or Pac-12 championship events. For any further questions about your Student Sports Pass, contact the Cougar Athletic Ticket Office at 509-335-9626.
The approximate value if all student tickets were purchased separately is greater than $450
