The Student Pass Auto-Renewal Program makes renewing your student pass easier than ever. Once you purchase a student pass, you are automatically registered to renew your pass for every year you are enrolled at K-State - no extra steps needed!
All student pass options include an automatic renewal until such time as the student chooses to opt-out of their pass or are no longer enrolled at Kansas State University. With the purchase of a pass, the student agrees to enter into the automatic renewal program and will be responsible for the purchase of the student pass each year. If the student is graduating or no longer enrolled at Kansas State University on the first day of classes in the fall semester, his or her pass will be automatically cancelled.
RENEWAL NOTICE. K-State Athletics will send a renewal notice via email to student pass holders each spring following the conclusion of the men's basketball season. This renewal notice will specify any changes to the price for the upcoming academic year. K-State Athletics reserves the right to introduce new pricing and benefits before each season.
OPT-OUT. Student pass holders will have a minimum of thirty (30) days after receipt of the renewal notice to opt-out of their student pass for the upcoming academic year. To request opting-out at any time before the deadline, email students@kstatesports.com. Any student who opts-out of the next academic year will retain their current pass for the remainder of the current academic year and any outstanding or future payments relating to the current season must be paid by the student. If notice of cancellation is not received by K-State Athletics within the time frame specified above, the student's pass shall be automatically renewed for the upcoming academic year and the student's first payment shall be due in accordance with the payment plan selected at the time of purchase.
All student pass sales are final and no refunds or exchanges will be made. K-State Athletics reserves the right to cancel a student's pass for any reason. K-State Athletics will automatically charge the student's university account or credit/debit card in accordance with the payment schedule set by K-State Athletics each academic year.

Student seating is first-come, first-served and is based on availability and demand. Possession of a student pass does not guarantee entry to every game.

No, your Student Athletic Pass is a non-transferable ticket. The pass cannot be transferred from the purchaser to another person. Each pass must be used by the K-State student who purchased the pass. Passes will be delivered via mobile devices.
Why? Student passes offer a considerable discount over public season tickets with the average value of a student season ticket for both sports at $2,570. For comparison, a football season ticket holder pays $725 for a midfield seat and a men's basketball season ticket holder pays $1,845 for a midcourt seat. Student passes are offered at less than $350 - despite the value exceeding $2,500 per pass. To ensure student pass prices remain low and to ensure the maximum number of K-State students can sit in the student section each game, transferring a student athletic pass is not allowed.
The resale or attempted resale of student passes is expressly prohibited. Unauthorized resale of student passes may result in the cancellation of season tickets or single game tickets, cancellation of tickets already purchased without refund, and the loss of student pass privileges.
Only one Student Athletic Pass may be ordered per student. The only exception is for married students. If the spouse is NOT a student, the enrolled student may purchase one additional pass after proof of marriage is brought to the athletic ticket office beginning August 1, 2026. Spouse passes must be paid immediately in full with cash, credit card, or check. A marriage certificate is required for proof of marriage.

No Student Fees!
K-State Athletics is the only athletics program in the state of Kansas and one of only a few in the country to operate with no direct or indirect university and student funding or state support. K-State Athletics, in conjunction with the Student Governing Association (SGA), ended its annual receipt of student privilege fees in 2018-19.
The department also supports the K-State Marching Band with an annual payment of $200,000 plus additional operational expenses totaling more than $1 million during the 2022-23 season, while it contributed more than $9.8 million in 2022-23 in total payments to the University base budget for tuition and fees and annual institutional support fees.
