Important Information and Restrictions

NOTRE DAME 2018 FOOTBALL TICKET PRICES HAVE NOT BEEN SET at this time. The best estimates are around $85. If the final price varies significantly, adjustments will be made to Reunion pricing accordingly.

YOU ARE ALLOWED TO ORDER UP TO TWO TICKETS TOTAL from the Band. The 2 Ticket Package includes your stadium seat and a stadium seat for your non-marching guest.  Guest seats will be located next to you in the participating band alumni stadium seats. All tickets will be held in the Band office and distributed to you when you arrive to check-in for the Reunion.

THE TICKET OFFICE REGULAR LOTTERY: If you are eligible for tickets through the 2018 Alumni Ticket Lottery you may apply for both Lottery seats AND Band Reunion seats for the Pittsburgh game.  Seats purchased through the ticket lottery will not be located in the alumni band seating area.

MARCHING HATS and 2018 Alumni Band MARCHING POLO SHIRTS are required for those marching on the field with the Alumni Band. One 2018 Alumni Band MARCHING POLO SHIRT and one 2018 Alumni Band MARCHING HAT is included in the participant registration price. Additional polo shirts and hats for family or guests may be purchased if desired but are not required.

INSTRUMENTS are your responsibility, and you should do everything possible to obtain an instrument if you do not have your old one up in the attic. Borrow an instrument from a friend or from a local school, rent one from a music store, or prowl neighborhood garage sales. The ND Band will make available a limited number of large instruments such as sousaphones, baritones, and percussion, and will make every effort to help with other instruments. The instrument rental fee is $60. See also the O'Brien Fund information below.

O’BRIEN FUND contributions and INSTRUMENT SPONSORSHIPS will be forwarded to the ND Development Office and will give you the same tax advantages and football ticket privileges as with any contribution to the Annual Fund. Note: If you need an instrument for Reunion, please consider contributing the cost of the instrument to the O'Brien Fund. The Band will purchase the instrument, which you will use for Reunion. Then the ND Band will have a new instrument and future generations of the Band will benefit from your donation. Contact the Band office for details.

ATTIRE: The 2018 Alumni Band polo shirt and the 2018 Reunion ball cap are required for participating Alumni. Navy blue pants or blue jeans along with athletic shoes are encouraged.

Prices range from $110.00 to $280.00 (price depends on options selected)
