WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF ORDERING THROUGH UCF?
The number of tickets UCF sells for a bowl game can help the athletic department present the best possible bowl scenario for the Knights. It is critical that UCF fans purchase bowl game tickets from UCFKnights.com, as institutional ticket purchases can impact future bowl opportunities. Here are a few reasons to order through UCF:

  • It strengthens UCF's candidacy for major bowls selection, now and into the future. By waiting to get tickets through secondary websites, you could impede UCF's profile and standing.
  • There are thousands of good tickets are available now! Get the best seats among multiple levels with fair prices.
  • Purchasing through UCF Athletics directly benefits your Knights financially.
  • It's important that we show the country how great UCF fans are!
  • To know where you are sitting without risking secondary markets. Commit during the presale window and learn your seat location after the bowl announcement.
  • Everyone who orders bowl tickets by December 7th through UCF will receive a commemorative ticket and spirit item in their assigned seat at the game

WHY SHOULD I PLACE A PRESALE ORDER?
Presale orders place you in the best seat locations based off of your ChargeOn Fund priority point ranking. If you wait until after the priority order deadline, seat locations will be based off first come, first served. There's also no need to contact the ticket office during the inevitable rush after the official bowl game announcement is made Dec. 5th and the priority deadline of Dec. 7th. Place your presale order and the ticket office will process your ticket request Dec. 7th. Presale orders also show the nation and the bowls UCF's fan support.
