Congratulations to your 2025 Bearcat Football team and to our fans for becoming bowl eligible!  

We understand that many fans may have questions regarding our process and how they will access bowl tickets. We have worked to outline what fans should expect over the next 6 weeks leading into Bowl Selection and potential Big 12 Championship tickets.  

Please note the following timeline and process for bowl game purchases:

• In mid-to-late November, Cincinnati Athletics will email fans with information regarding potential bowl locations. 
• November 25th marks the last day to make a gift to UCATS to accelerate and amplify your standing as a UCATS member. Please make additional gifts to UCATS via this link.
• Upon notice of a bowl selection, Cincinnati Athletics will immediately reach out to season ticket holders and UCATS donors to ask for requests to obtain tickets through our dedicated team allotment.  
• Once the request portal closes, fans will be ranked and assigned seats based on the Priority Point total and their credit card will be charged. 
• Tickets will then be delivered via mobile delivery to fans.

Big 12 Championship

In the event that Cincinnati makes the Big 12 Championship game, we will send ticket information immediately to our fans seeking to gain access to our team allotment.  

We will follow the same protocol listed above for ticket requests, assignments, and distribution of tickets. 

Big 12 Championship information is located here (reminder that tickets on this site would not be in the team allotment).
