Important Information Regarding Allocation of Tickets
for WFU vs. Notre Dame
As you may know, the Demon Deacons will be traveling to South Bend, IN to take on the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame on November 17, 2012. We have received many inquiries about tickets for this historical event, so we wanted to explain the process for allocating tickets.
Wake Forest has approximately 4,000 tickets available for purchase by Deacon Club members. There will be a limit of 4 tickets per membership. Ticket applications and travel information were mailed on Monday, April 2, to Deacon Club members at the Scholarship level ($1,600+) and above. The priority deadline for these ticket applications is April 16, 2012.
If there are tickets remaining after the April 16th deadline, a wait-list application will be sent on April 23rd to Golden W members ($800+). This means that Golden W members will have the opportunity to request tickets, but availability will depend on the quantity of tickets remaining. If the demand for tickets exceeds availability, tickets will be allocated based on rank within giving level. Golden W members will have a deadline of May 11th. If there are still additional tickets remaining, this process will repeat for Golden C and General level donors until the ticket supply is exhausted.
For your reference, there are approximately 1,000 members at the Scholarship level and above, so if every member were to purchase 4 tickets, the ticket supply would be exhausted after the first round of applications. In the event that tickets remain and the application process is opened to additional giving levels, there are approximately 600 Golden W members, 1,200 Golden C members and 1,600 General level members.
It is important to note that while qualification for tickets is based upon giving level, the actual seat location will be assigned based upon Deacon Club rank. Ticket assignments will be made in the fall, and tickets will be mailed no later than 3 weeks prior to the game.
If donors who qualify for tickets wish to be seated together, we will assign the tickets based upon the average rank. For example, if Donor A is ranked 2,500 and Donor B is 1,250, we would assign them both based on an average rank of 1,875.
If you have any questions regarding the ticket allocation process, please call the Wake Forest Ticket Office at (336) 758-3322 or email
