Pitt introduced a new digital ticketing
system this year with a multitude of capabilities. One important component is
that fans are able to share their tickets if they are unable to attend a game.
Fans can share tickets with friends and family, sell their tickets online, or
donate to a charity. For more information, visit the ticket center.
Check links here for directions to Heinz Field, information on parking and the student shuttle. Parking lots will open five hours prior to
kickoff. Also, check back for traffic updates on gameday.
Will
Call will open three hours prior to kickoff this season at Gate A. Walk-up
ticket sales will take place at Gate B.
Pitt fans are asked to arrive early to the
stadium due to enhanced security measures, which includes a handheld metal detector. The
detector will replace pat-downs. Express lanes will be available for fans that
are not carrying in additional permitted items into Heinz Field.
Your
gameday experience will be heightened this year once inside the stadium as
well. Upgrades to Heinz Field's scoreboard capabilities allow us to provide a
better fan experience including enhanced camera angles, more complete coverage
and more information to those in attendance. The upgrades make Heinz Field one
of the top technologically advanced stadiums in college athletics.
