Pitt introduced a simple to use new
digital ticketing system this year with a multitude of capabilities. One
important component is that fans are able to share their tickets if they are
unable to attend a game. Fans can share tickets with friends and family, sell
their tickets online, or donate to a charity. For more information, visit
the ticket center.
Be sure to visit the Let's Go Pitt Program for deals on dining, shopping and much more while you're in town
for the game.

kickoff. Also, check back for traffic updates on gameday.
Will
Call will open three hours prior to kickoff this season at Gate A. Walk-up

Pitt fans are asked to arrive early to the
stadium due to enhanced security measures, which includes a handheld metal detector. The
detector will replace pat-downs. Express lanes will be available for fans that
are not carrying in additional permitted items into Heinz Field.
Your
gameday experience will be heightened this year once inside the stadium as
well. Upgrades to Heinz Field's scoreboard capabilities allow us to provide a
better fan experience including enhanced camera angles, more complete coverage
and more information to those in attendance. The upgrades make Heinz Field one
of the top technologically advanced stadiums in college athletics.
