UC's attendance variance request with the State of Ohio was reconsidered on Tuesday and brought in line with similar requests from the Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland Browns. Capacity for the game will be limited to 5,831 fans, which is 17.9% of the official seat count of 33,000.
 
Tickets start at $29 and season-ticket holders can purchase at 11 a.m. Wednesday by logging into their ticket account or by calling the ticket office at 1-877-CATS-TIX. Any remaining tickets will go on sale to the general public at 1 p.m. ET on Friday, Dec. 18. Ticket purchasers will be limited to four tickets per account and will be socially distanced in the stands.
 
Due to anticipated wait times on the phone, fans are encouraged to log in to their ticket account first before calling the ticket office.
 
"We truly appreciate Governor DeWine for reviewing our variance for the AAC Championship Game," Cunningham said. "Thanks to President Pinto and the many leaders from the University and City of Cincinnati who helped make this possible. I know it will mean a lot to Coach Fickell and our team to have a great crowd of Bearcats in the stands Saturday night. We are excited to be able to welcome some of our great fans back into Nippert Stadium to see this 2020 team in person."
 
UC will also make a limited number of additional student tickets available for $10, starting at 10 a.m. ET on Wednesday morning. 
Students can log-in to their student ticket account or call the athletics ticket office at 1-877-CATS-TIX. A valid UC student M-Number will be required to verify purchases.
