Student season ticket holders are no longer required to show an Mcard at Gate 10 (student entrance) to gain entry into Michigan Stadium.
If students elect to transfer a game within their season ticket, the recipient will need to show an Mcard or a validation voucher to gain entry at Gate 10.
No one shall use an ID of another student for this purpose.
However, a non-student may use a student ticket if it is "validated." All validation sales are final. Student tickets are restricted from being sold on SeatGeek. Once validated, anyone may use the ticket for admission. Any person may validate tickets by paying the required fee per ticket and given an "unrestricted use" validation voucher that is to be presented with a ticket. Only students can validate tickets at the Union Ticket Office by presenting their student ID. This can be accomplished at the following locations:

Yes, family and friends can go to the game if you find students who will not be using their football tickets. For more information about transferring a ticket, visit our Transfer Ticket page.
You may purchase validation vouchers from the Michigan Union Ticket Office or the Michigan Athletic Ticket office, where a validation voucher will be given to you and is to be presented on game day at gate 10 with your mobile ticket. Once validated, no refunds will be issued and your family and friends may use these tickets for admission without a student ID. Please note that when a ticket is transferred, the student that transfers the ticket only receives 3 points no matter if the ticket was scanned or not.

Yes, you may give your ticket to another U-M student. Electronic ticket transferring (via email) will be available for the 2025 season. Students are responsible for correctly transferring their ticket and bringing the correct ticket to the game. The student recipient of the transferred ticket must bring their current student MCard and present it along with the ticket at Gate 10 to gain entry. Postgame priority points will not be granted in the event that a transfer is done incorrectly.

Students must enter through Gate 10 along with their football ticket. Non-students using a student ticket must present the student ticket with a validation voucher at Gate 10.

Ann Arbor students who lost or misplaced their MCard must obtain a replacement prior to game day during normal business hours at an ID station. Please visit www.mcard.umich.edu for more information. Dearborn and Flint students must obtain a replacement from their respective campuses. If you do not have your MCard upon arriving at Michigan Stadium, you will be required to validate your ticket in order to gain entry. No exceptions.
The Athletic Ticket Office is now a new MCard ID issuing station for new, lost, and replacement MCards! The fee for lost or damaged MCards is $20 to be paid by cash, check or credit card. We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover. The Athletic Ticket Office MCard ID station will be open Monday-Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., unless otherwise noted.
