Gold Zone Parking Information

Parking benefits are based on your season ticket purchase price including ticket costs and per seat contributions. UCF Football season ticket members with a minimum season ticket purchase of $850 (tickets and per seat contributions) are eligible to purchase season parking passes.

Parking passes will be strictly limited to 1 parking pass for every 5 season tickets purchased with a cap on the number of passes per account. Invoice amounts will be separated into 4 tiers. 

Invoice Tier Ticket Purchase Price Maximum Parking Selections
Tier 1 $6,000+ 3
Tier 2 $3,250+ 2
Tier 3 $1,300+ 2
Tier 4 $850+ 1

Parking passes will be available for purchase, with eligibility based on your season ticket purchase price. Parking prices will vary based on location.

Zone Eligibility Parking Lots Price Per Pass
Tier 1 Tier 1 and Shareholder Society Members Lots E1-E8, Baseball Lot $450
Tier 2 Tier 1 and Tier 2 Softball Lot, Garage F $350
Tier 3 Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 Lots D1-D2, Lots C1-C2, Arboretum Lot, Garage D $250
Tier 4 Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3 and Tier 4 Garage C, Lot C3 $150

All parking passes are digital and can be managed in your UCF Athletics Account Manager. Fans with digital parking are STRONGLY encouraged to save their parking passes to their phone prior to gameday. Digital parking can also be transferred or resold though your UCF Athletics Account Manager.

Enhanced parking privileges may be available by supporting UCF Athletics through the Shareholders Society, with a minimum charitable gift of $5,000 or more, above and beyond your ticket invoice amount. To learn more about the Shareholders Society, click here. To join the Shareholders Society, click here to connect with a member of the ChargeOn Fund staff.

Why are we charging for parking?

Many parking passes being distributed are going unused. By charging for parking, many unused / unneeded parking passes will become available to fans who previously did not have parking options. 

Charging for parking passes being used will create an additional revenue source to help close the gap on operating budgets with our new Big 12 peers, without the need to significantly raise all season ticket prices. 

We want to be competitive in the Big 12 and this allows us to take another step towards our stated goals as outlined in Mission XII. More information on Mission XII and future football campus enhancement projects can be found HERE.

How are parking passes being distributed?

By taking into consideration the entire football season ticket invoice amount, not just the per seat contribution amount, many long-time season ticket members will receive access to parking for the first time. A fan purchasing $1,000 worth of family seats will have the same rights to parking benefits as a fan purchasing $1,000 worth of premium seats.

All season ticket members who had parking in 2022 will automatically see these changes reflected on their invoice. Fans looking to purchase parking or relocate their current parking are encouraged to complete the seat and parking relocation form when renewing their season tickets. Parking allocation will begin after the season ticket relocation process in early March based on your UCF Home Priority Points.

How do I change my parking?

Fans who qualify can submit a parking relocation when renewing your season tickets online, or by calling the UCF Athletics Ticket office at 407-823-1000.

Fans who do not currently qualify can obtain additional parking benefits by upgrading their season tickets, purchasing additional season tickets, or by joining the Shareholders Society. 

What about tailgating?

Under the previous parking allocation system, many fans who qualified for multiple parking passes, received passes across different lots. This has negatively impacted tailgate setups across Gold Zone parking lots. Moving forward, fans who qualify for multiple parking passes will have the option to relocate all passes within the same lot (if available). This means bigger, better, tailgating setups across all Gold Zone parking lots. 

What if I don't qualify for a season parking pass?

A variety of cash lots, free to park lots, and park & ride locations are available on campus. For a full list of parking lots and shuttle services, please visit the link here.

What if I need more parking passes?

Gold Zone parking passes will be strictly limited to 1 parking pass for every 5 season tickets purchased. A variety of cash lots, free to park lots, and park & ride locations are available on campus. For a full list of parking lots and shuttle services, please visit here.

What about ADA parking?

Parking for guests with disabilities is available on the first level of Garage C with a proper DMV permit on a first-come, first-served basis. The individual who was issued the permit must be with the vehicle. Garage C is located at the intersection of Orion and Gemini boulevards.

Those shuttles will run from three (3) hours prior to kickoff until two (2) hours after kickoff. Throughout the game and postgame, shuttles will be available, picking up from Gate 13, to return patrons with disabilities to Garage C.

Additional disabled parking spaces are available throughout the campus, with all spaces available on a first-come, first-served basis to any guest with a disability who displays an authorized DMV permit; however, no direct shuttle service will be available for these spaces.

Permits must be properly displayed at all times from the rearview mirror. All permits are limited to one parking space. Tailgating is not permitted in any parking garage. In parking lots, tailgating shall be confined to the area immediately behind your vehicle and shall not impede traffic flow or parking spaces for other vehicles.
