WHY DIGITAL TICKETS?
Safety - Going mobile is the safest, most convenient, and flexible way to receive and manage tickets while increasing protection against fraud. It is part of our continuing effort to make your UCF experience the very best. Mobile tickets provide:

  • Reduced risk of lost, stolen, counterfeit or forgotten tickets.
  • Quick and contactless entry into the venue.
  • The ability to manage, send, sell, or donate your tickets at any time from your mobile device.

Flexibility - Real-time changes to event dates and times are reflected immediately on digital tickets. Mobile tickets also allow guests to manage tickets from their mobile phone through their UCF Athletics Account Manager. That includes the seamless transfer, resell, or donation of tickets via the UCF Gameday App.

Efficiency - The streamlining of the gate entry procedure.

Ease of Use, Peace of Mind - Through your UCF Athletics Account Manager, you always have your tickets on you. You may download, transfer, exchange or resell your tickets at any time. It also adds a layer of security, guarding against the production of fraudulent and counterfeit tickets.
