FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS REGARDING FOOTBALL STUDENT PASSES:

I already have my student ID - Do I have to buy football student season pass? ● Cal students must still purchase football season passes online at www.calbears.com and will then use their Cal 1 card, with the purchase embedded in the card, to be admitted into home football games.

If I can't go to the game, can somebody else use my pass? ● Student season passes are transferable on a per game basis, and only to other students via ticket transfer online. Each ticket may only be transferred once. When you transfer a ticket, it is not able to be transferred back. Once a student logs into their online account they will see the option to transfer their tickets and just need to follow the simple online instructions. A student must have their Cal 1 card and Print at Home ticket in order to gain entrance into the stadium. For a video on how to Transfer Student Tickets Online, please click HERE.

What happens if I lose my student ID? ● Cal 1 cards can be replaced at 180 Cesar Chavez Center, Lower Sproul Plaza - 510-643-6839. The old ID will be read as invalid if someone tries to use it for admission into a football game. The new ID will have the football season pass purchase information on it.

What if I forget my Cal 1 card? ● Cal Students without their valid Cal 1 card will not be admitted into the game. There are NO exceptions and NO refunds.

Is there assigned seating? ● At the student gate, students are issued a wristband for general admission to sections SS, S, RR and R upon presenting a valid Cal 1 card with a student season pass. Students wishing to sit together should arrive together.

After I have purchased a season pass on www.CalBears.com do I need to pick anything up?

● The student will only need their Cal 1 card with the Cal student number that corresponds to the online purchase. Student spouse passes are paper tickets which need to be picked up at the Cal Athletic Ticket Office.

What if there is a problem scanning my ID? ● Please see the Cal Athletic Ticket Office representative at the Student Gate during the game to assist you with any issues.

What can I do to get into the game faster? ● Arrive earlier! The student gate opens 2 hours before kickoff. For kickoff times please refer to www.CalBears.com.

What do I do on game day to enter the stadium? ● As long as the student has purchased your Cal Football season pass on www.CalBears.com you only need your Cal 1 card for admission to the student gate.

Can I be refunded? ● No, there are no refunds or exchanges. All sales are final!

What if I decide not to come to Cal or transfer to another school but already purchased my football season pass? ● All sales are final.

The addresses cannot be changed in our system and are often incorrect. Having students pick up passes and tickets ensures everyone will receive the passes and tickets they ordered.
