  • When a ticket holder in a bench seating area of the stadium needs an accessible seat for a single game, whether bench tickets were purchased from the ticket office or otherwise acquired, a person must return the tickets to the Athletic Ticket Office by 5 p.m. on the Wednesday prior to the game to exchange their tickets for a wheelchair and companion ticket. Subject to availability, the ticket office will use its best efforts to provide such tickets in a comparable location to their original bench tickets. Likewise, a person who has ticket(s) in wheelchair accessible seating and transfers them to a patron who does not need such seating must return the tickets to the Athletic Ticket Office by 5 p.m. on the Wednesday prior to the game to exchange their tickets for bench seating.
