No, your student’s ticket will be provided via your reservation via our independent ticket site.

Yes, we require student ID numbers at the time of purchase. In doing so, we can verify your student is actively enrolled and will credit points earned for attending the Men’s Basketball game.

My student has a student ticket. Will we be able to sit together?
No. Students receive general admission seating in the student section with a student ticket. If you would like your student to sit with you and your family, you must reserve (at no additional cost) an “NC State Student ticket” when registering for Spring Fling.
