Fairleigh Dickinson University Florham Athletics looks forward to welcoming back spectators to our home athletic events. To better assist both home and visiting team spectators in understanding what to expect when visiting campus, Devils Athletics has created the following Spectator Protocols for Sporting Events.
ADMISSION FEE:
Admission will be charged for the sports of football and basketball. FDU students, faculty, and staff will be admitted free of charge by showing their FDU ID card. Admission may also be charged for post-season competition in ANY sport.
Tickets can be bought online at hometownticketing.com or on the Hometown Ticketing Fan App. Cash will still be accepted at the gate on game day, but purchasing tickets online is recommended as ticket prices are higher if bought at the gate on game day. Credit cards are not accepted. Please be prepared to bring exact change to events so we can limit the exchange of cash.
Ticket prices for regular-season competition are:
ONLINE:
• General Admission - $13.50
• Seniors, Non-FDU College ID, and Children over 12 - $9.00
• FDU Students, Faculty, Staff, and Children under 12 - FREE
(Fees included)
AT GATE ON GAME DAY:
• General Admission - $15.00
• Seniors, Non-FDU College ID, and Children over 12 - $10.00
• FDU Students, Faculty, Staff, and Children under 12 - FREE
TAILGATING:
● Tailgating activity cannot obstruct the flow of traffic and must comply with all
University regulations. Tailgating that uses or infringes on an additional adjacent parking space is not permitted.

Clean-Up
Garbage cans will be limited; you must bring your own bags to contain garbage in your individual area.
Properly dispose of garbage in area designated or next to trash cans supplied by the University.
Tailgating spaces not completely cleaned prior to the start of an event could result in the loss of future tailgating privileges.

Pets are NOT permitted at any athletic venue/event. Service animals will be permitted with proper identification.
Smoking
All FDU Athletic Venues are SMOKE-FREE facilities. There are no smoking, vaping, or tobacco products permitted of ANY kind.

Please help keep the Fairleigh Dickinson University-Florham Campus beautiful. We ask that all public restrooms are kept clean and used respectfully.
We ask that individuals conduct themselves in a manner that reflects positively on our athletic teams. All music and audio must be kept at a volume that is respectful of all other tailgaters.
