Kansas State University Athletics
Student Athletic Pass Prices Reduced for 2021-22 Season
Mar 25, 2021 | Football, Men's Basketball
MANHATTAN, Kan. – K-State Athletics, in coordination with Kansas State University's Student Governing Association, announced a reduction in the prices of student athletic passes for the 2021-22 football and men's basketball seasons when they go on sale Monday, March 29, with the start of enrollment for the fall semester.
In response to the challenging past 13 months spanning two academic years students and incoming freshmen have experienced, K-State Athletics has reduced student pass pricing for the first time in more than a decade with decreases as much as 18% from the previous year's prices. While continuing the tradition of student seating at midfield and midcourt in both Bill Snyder Family Stadium and Bramlage Coliseum, athletics officials prioritized a price savings for students.
"Our student body has been an integral part of the gameday experience in Manhattan," Athletics Director Gene Taylor said. "We want to provide them an affordable ticket option as we anticipate welcoming the entirety of our student section back for the 2021 season. Gamedays in Manhattan are always special with our students front and center, and we want to offer them the ability to be able to cheer on the Wildcats for seven Saturdays this fall inside Bill Snyder Family Stadium."
"Some of my fondest K-State memories have been shared with friends and classmates on gamedays cheering on the Wildcats," said Student Body President Tel Witmer. "While that experience looked a little bit different this year, I am beyond excited to see the student experience at K-State Athletic events begin a return to a more typical atmosphere for the 2021-22 school year. We are thrilled by the decision to reduce student ticket prices while retaining the premium midcourt/field seating that students are accustomed to and appreciate K-State Athletics' commitment to offering the best student and fan experience in the Big 12."
K-State students have two pass options from which to choose:
K-State Students who purchase a Combo Pass can add an ICAT Membership for just $40 to receive exclusive gear and numerous year-long benefits, such as priority entry on game days and an invitation to special events.
Changes to Student Athletic Pass policy for 2021-22:
K-State students have long enjoyed the best student seating sections in the Big 12 Conference with midfield seats at Bill Snyder Family Stadium and midcourt seats in Bramlage Coliseum. Student passes offer a considerable discount over general public season tickets with the average value of a student season-ticket for both sports at $1,400. All other K-State regular-season ticketed athletics events offer free admission for K-State students with their Wildcat ID – including soccer, volleyball, women's basketball and baseball.
In addition to football and men's basketball season tickets, student pass holders will receive an Ahearn Fund priority point and access to football bowl game and postseason basketball tickets when available.
K-State Athletics is the only athletics program in the state of Kansas and one of only eight in the country to operate with no direct or indirect university and student funding or state support. The department also supports the K-State Marching Band with an annual payment of $200,000 plus additional operational expenses, while it contributed more than $6.8 million this past year in total payments to the University base budget for tuition and fees and annual institutional support fees.
Current K-State students returning to campus next year can purchase their pass online at www.k-statesports.com/students. Student passes will be available to transfer students and incoming students beginning in June.
