Tickets to Triton Athletics Events

 

Parents, Friends and Family Members

Your Family Weekend registration includes a free ticket to one of our athletics games, while supplies last. Like all Family Weekend events, our Triton Athletics events are first-come, first served.

If you would like to attend an athletics event, tickets to the game of your choice will be provided to parents, friends and family members at check-in.

 

UC San Diego Students

Students who would like to attend an athletics event must reserve their ticket through a different process at no additional cost:

  • Student Tickets to the Men’s Basketball Game:
    Starting on Monday, Oct. 12 at 10 a.m. students can claim their tickets to the Men’s Basketball game (while supplies last) online by signing into the Triton Athletics ticketing site using their university credentials. Check out step-by-step instructions from Athletics.

  • Student Tickets to the Men’s Soccer Match:
    Students do not need to reserve a ticket in advance; their student ID serves as their ticket. Student IDs will be scanned at the entrance to the field.
Please note: student tickets are limited for both athletics events. The earlier your student can reserve their ticket or arrive at the field, the better!
