More info coming in Fall 2025.
Pack Forward Changes to 2025 Football Season Tickets
The Pack Forward campaign, announced in June 2024, takes a fresh, forward-thinking approach to tickets, parking, and annual donations at NC State. Starting in the 2025 season, football season tickets will now be variably priced. Season tickets will also now include a required seat donation (RSD), ranging from $0 to $250 depending on the section selected. This means that as season ticket for the 2025 season will range from $400 to $750 depending on the section selected. The RSD is required on all seats excluding Lifetime Seating Rights (LTRs) and Multi-Year license tickets and is separate from your annual gifts.

All Wolfpack Club members and renewing season ticket holders will receive an online application. Donors may print a paper application by logging into their online account by clicking here. All season ticket and season parking orders must be submitted by the Dec. 1, 2024 priority deadline to be included in the online seat selection process. Donors will be able to choose their own parking assignment using an online-assignment tool. The appointment times will be based on their Wolfpack Club priority ranking.
A 3-D view of Carter-Finley Stadium and its surrounding parking lots is available online for previewing by clicking here. Online appointment times will be determined by Wolfpack Club priority rank order based on gifts received by Dec. 31, 2024. Donors who place an order for tickets and parking after Dec. 1 will make their selections after all priority orders have selected. Football season ticket holders who are not Wolfpack Club members, will be placed in order based on their order date and will be given the opportunity to participate after all Wolfpack Club members participate in the process.

Donors with Seating Rights are able to order one parking space for every 1 to 4 seat rights they hold. For instance, a donor with 5 to 8 lifetime seating rights may order two parking permits and a donor with 9 to 12 Seating Rights may order three, etc. Donors must be paid in full at the Carter-Finley Circle giving level for the 2022 giving year in order to purchase an additional priority parking permit.
Donors with TowneBank Center tickets receive parking permits already included in their seat purchase. A suite includes four parking permits, while Wolves Den and Dail Club seats include one parking permit for each 1 to 4 seats in TowneBank Center.
*Parking is not guaranteed for Wolfpack Club members below the Lobo Club level.
** Assignments for parking ordered beyond these limits are assigned based on availability after all Wolfpack Club members receive their priority assignments.
Rank Cutoffs
The following information represents the actual rank limits for each parking lot as assigned for the 2018, 2019 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 Wolfpack football seasons. These figures are meant to provide Wolfpack Club donors with a general idea on what priority rankings are required to park in the desired parking lot.

Please note: Rank cutoffs for certain lots change every year. There is a greater likelihood these ranking cutoffs may be different than past years because of the online selection process and lock-in participation.

Common Question About Ranking:
My Wolfpack Club priority rank increased but I have worse seating/parking than last year.
If you're seeing your rank increase, but your seating and parking options get worse, it can most likely be explained by your order in the selection process falling. Due to higher interest in NC State Football over the past 4 seasons, increased annual giving levels and Light it Red gifts that earn bonus points, it is possible for your rank to increase but your selection order among ticket and parking orders to be lower than in years past. For example, one donor saw their rank improve from 2449 last year to 2397 this year, but their selection appointment position was 92 slots later this year.
Coming off the pandemic, the 2021 selection featured less parking and ticket orders than in years past. Each year since, the number of orders and total amount ordered continues to increase leading to more competition.
The 2024 selection process also did not have a lock in feature. The lock in process allowed many accounts to select parking and seating locations in 2021 and retain them in 2022 and 2023 that they may have not qualified for during a "normal" year. With the lock in process ending and increased order numbers and competition, this has led to some accounts not being able to select the same seats and parking they've had in past years.
Group Parking Suggestions
With the online selection process, each individual account will be given an appointment time for parking selection based on their respective priority point ranking. To park as a group, each group member needs to coordinate his or her selection with the appointment time of the lowest (not best) ranked person within their group; and, at that time, each group member can log into the online system and choose their seats or parking spaces together.
NOTE: Since all seats and parking spaces will be selected online, each person in the group will need access to a computer when coordinating their seat location. Each group member can log in at their assigned time and check the availability of seating and parking locations, thus having the opportunity to make their selections at that point, should they wish to forgo some or all of their group seating based on the lowest ranked person's selection time within the group.
Faculty/Staff Season Tickets
Faculty and staff season ticket holders receive a 20% discount off of the ticket price for up to 4 season tickets. The required seat donation (RSD) per ticket for the price in the section must be fulfilled. Faculty and staff season tickets are no longer limited to specific sections and can select anywhere in the stadium. Once seat selections are made for the 2025 season, faculty and staff members will be able to renew the seat location for the 2026 and 2027 renewal cycles as long as the tickets are renewed by the deadline. Please note that 2028 will be another re-selection year and faculty/staff members will need to re-select seats based upon their Wolfpack Club priority ranking.
Faculty/Staff Parking
Starting with the 2025 season, the former Faculty/Staff/Varsity Club Lot is now called the Trinity Lot. This lot is now able to be selected as a priority parking lot during the parking selection process for all patrons. NC State faculty, staff and Varsity Club members have the ability to select parking in any available parking lots in 2025 based on their Wolfpack Club priority ranking. The Required Space Donation (RSD) associated with the selected lot must be fulfilled to receive the parking permit.
Additional Notes
- Donors will receive multiple reminders about their upcoming online appointment time, as well as several more if it is missed. If a donor misses their online appointment selection time, parking or annual season ticket locations may be selected on a donor's behalf, but it will not be on the donor's priority.
- If a donor does not receive any email reminders about their appointments time by January 13, please contact the ticket office at 919-865-1510. Your email provider may be preventing the appointment emails from being delivered or you may have opted out of receiving emails from NC State Athletics.
- There is no lifetime rights for parking spaces.
- Located across the street from the Lenovo Center, the N.C. State Fairgrounds offer convenient camping amenities. In addition to more than 350 full-service sites currently offered. Call 919-821-7400 for more information or download the Camping Brochure.
