All John Purdue Club members receive priority over the general public for both ticketing and parking. Tickets are allocated according to the JPC Priority Points system.
To purchase tickets, please contact the Hayes Family Athletics Ticket Office. If you would like to order your tickets online please click here. Please be sure to use your JPC ticket office account when purchasing tickets. Do not create a new account as you will not receive priority on your ticket purchase. The ticket office accounts are automatically tied to your John Purdue Club account, using your JPC annual giving level and Priority Points to assign tickets and parking passes. If you have any questions when logging into your account, please contact the ticket office using the contact information below.
If an event is sold out or there are a limited number of tickets available, members will have the opportunity to put their names on a waiting list. If tickets become available, they will be allocated according to the Priority Points system. Please contact the John Purdue Club to be put on a waitlist for tickets.
For the 2024 Purdue Football season, we’ve implemented a one-time ticket transfer that you can utilize to transfer your season ticket to an immediate family member (sibling, child, or grandchild). Click here to complete the form and return it to the Hayes Family Athletics Ticket Office.

Because of the limited number of tickets available for select football and men’s basketball games, the John Purdue Club facilitates a ticket sharing program. Members are encouraged to call their Boilermaker Athletics Representative (BAR) when they cannot attend a game. The office then gives waitlisted John Purdue Club members the opportunity to use the tickets. Tickets are distributed according to Priority Points and participation in the ticket sharing program. Members who turn in their tickets will receive gift-in-kind credit and a receipt for tax purposes.
