Purdue ticketing system gives campus card added features

Friday, June 17, 2011

Starting new for the 2011 season, students at Purdue University purchasing football or men’s basketball season tickets will no longer receive printed tickets, according to the Purdue Exponent.

Season tickets will be uploaded to the student’s ID card, which the student will then swipe to gain entrance into the games.

The new method is not only convenient for students but also saves the university money as they no longer have to print and mail the approximate 9,000 season tickets that were purchased by students last season.

As part of the new platform, students can also sell or transfer their ticket to another Purdue student for a fee of $3.
