Duke University Blue Devils

Duke Football Student Tickets

For the 2023 season, Duke students are required to join the "Athletics Student Ticket Opt-In" Duke Group in order to access tickets for all athletics events, except men's basketball. Upon signing in using your NetID and password, simply click the "Join This Group" button in the Membership Status box to get started.

Once you've become a part of the group, the Duke Athletics Ticket Office will send you an email containing instructions on how to access your ticket account, which you will use throughout the year. Through this account, you can choose the games you wish to attend and obtain your FREE Duke student digital ticket. Student tickets will be available to claim on a weekly basis, corresponding to the events of that week.

Should you have any inquiries regarding your student tickets, please feel free to visit the Duke Athletics Ticket Office situated in the Scott Family Athletics Performance Center (located across from the main entrance to Cameron Indoor Stadium) at 110 Whitford Drive, or you can call (919) 681-2583.

Improved Student Seating Location

Head coach Mike Elko's top priority is providing students with the best seats in Brooks Field at Wallace Wade Stadium. As a result, students will now be located right on the sideline, next to the Duke team entrance tunnel. This prime seating location allows students to greet the Blue Devils as they enter Brooks Field and interact with Duke fans across the stadium, creating an intense, passionate gameday atmosphere.

Student Cash Prizes

Not that you need another reason to cheer on Duke football, but all students that attend games will have a chance to win cash prizes. Each quarter one lucky student will be randomly elected to win a cash prize. The longer you stay, the bigger the prize. 10 Minutes Before Kickoff - $100, Second Quarter - $200, Third Quarter -  $300 and Fourth Quarter -  $1000. All you have to do is be in your seat and wearing your football jersey to be eligible.

The ultimate football pregame destination for Duke undergraduate and graduate students.
Festivities begin in the Card Parking Lot – located next to Krzyzewskiville – three hours before each home game and end 15 minutes before kickoff.

Student Tailgate Tents

Whether with one friend or a large group, all students are welcome to come and enjoy the student tailgate tents. If you wish to have a reserved space, you can reserve a free tailgate tent within the DevilsGate footprint below. This is a great opportunity for student organizations or just a group of friends to have a “home base” within the student tailgate area.

In accordance with university policies, all undergraduate student and Graduate and Professional Student Government (GPSG) registered organization tents must have one group member that has completed the Duke Social Host Training. Please note: This year's training includes new material and guidelines for 2023-24, so if you attended the Social Host workshop last year, you will need to attend again this year. Your training will be good for every event for the entire 2023-24 academic year.

Food

Each week, a rotation of local food trucks offers choices that can be purchased with Duke Food Points or cash (credit cards not accepted). Club Blue Devil also provides local food and beverages for sale near the entrance to Wilson Recreation Center, with credit card payments only (Duke Food Points not accepted).

Alcohol & Drink

Students are encouraged to follow university guidelines and adhere to the university BYO policy for alcohol. Please note that all glass and oversized containers (including Borg’s) are NOT permitted. Water will be provided at no cost.

Bag Policy

Only clear bags or smaller clutches allowed. Backpacks are not permitted.

Music and Entertainment

Students can enjoy a live band or DJ while tailgating and competing against friends in a variety of interactive games.

For the first game of the season, Duke football is excited to partner with the Student Affairs office to bring the Annual Heat Wave Concert to DevilsGate. The concert starts at 5 p.m., so come and enjoy the show before heading into Brooks Field at Wallace Wade Stadium for the 8 p.m., kickoff vs. Clemson.

Blue Devil Team Walk

Join the Duke cheerleaders and marching band in support of the Blue Devils as they walk through DevilsGate on their way to the stadium 2 hours and 30 minutes before kickoff.
