Get Your Tickets
To follow your Aztecs to Albuquerque, SDSU highly encourages fans to purchase their bowl tickets through the Aztec Ticket Office. Buying tickets through the Aztec Ticket Office not only directly supports off-setting the bowl costs the team will incur, but demonstrates your support of the university. Additionally, ordering tickets from the Aztec Ticketing Office is the only way to guarantee your tickets are in the official San Diego State sections of the stadium. General public sales begin December 8 after the announcement of the Aztecs’ bowl selection, but as an exclusive benefit to our Aztec Club members and football season ticket holders, SDSU is offering the opportunity to secure bowl tickets through deferred payment with Aztec Club Priority Point rank determining seat locations. After the bowl announcement, Aztec Club members who requested bowl tickets on deferred payment will only be charged for the bowl game in which the Aztecs are a participant. Bowl tickets will be mailed to the address provided through Account Manager. After the bowl announcement on December 8, all sales are final and no refunds will be given should your plans change.
