 All fans (regardless of ages) must have a ticket for admission to Neyland Stadium. No pass out checks are allowed with the exception of the inclement weather policy. In the event of inclement weather, please retain your ticket stub for readmission. If the stadium is cleared due to inclement weather, you may reenter the stadium with your ticket stub. Everyone will again be subject to search. This ticket is a revocable license for the ticket holder to gain admission to an event sponsored by Tennessee Athletics. The University of Tennessee reserves the right, without the refund of any portion of the ticket purchase price, to refuse admission to or eject any patron from the event venue at any time, for any reason permitted by law. Incidents involving lost, stolen or destroyed tickets will be addressed with the season ticket holder of record only at the Ticket Office. Photo identification is required. Dates and times on game tickets are subject to change. University policies and state and federal laws will be in effect. The violation of any rules may prevent admission to a Tennessee Athletic event, removal from an event, and jeopardize the violator's admission into subsequent Tennessee Athletic events, including the forfeiture of season tickets and the ability to purchase single-game tickets.
