Any person buying tickets except from the UI Athletic Ticket Office, or through SeatGeek, the official secondary marketplace of the Iowa Hawkeyes, does so at their own risk.

The University of Iowa Police Department is urging Hawkeye fans to be aware of common ticket scams and use SeatGeek, the official ticketing partner, as the season progresses.

Most scams reported so far this season have occurred through social media websites and instant messaging platforms.

The excitement of football season should never come at the cost of your hard-earned money and safety. Keep these tips in mind when securing tickets to avoid getting scammed:

• Buy from official sources. Purchase your tickets from the university’s official ticket office, or this year’s official ticketing partner, SeatGeek. Every ticket sold on SeatGeek for Iowa Football home games is verified and trusted, and all tickets sold are backed by SeatGeek’s Buyer Guarantee.
• Be wary of social media sales. Avoid buying tickets from people you don’t know on social media websites or messaging apps. Scammers often create fake profiles on these platforms using fraudulent photos to advertise available tickets that do not exist.
• Spot the signs of a scam. Scammers typically tell you to pay in a specific way. They may insist you buy gift cards, wire money, use cryptocurrency, or request payment in other ways than through a bank or credit card account (such as Venmo or Zelle). They also typically pressure you to act fast before you have time to think about their request and suspect something fishy.
• Check ticket prices.

If you aren’t buying from an official source, research the average price for a ticket to the game you’d like to attend. If a seller is offering a ticket price that’s too good to be true, it probably is.

• Don’t share sensitive information with strangers. Never share a photo of your student ID, driver’s license, or payment cards with a stranger, even if it’s to “verify” your identity. It could be used to steal your identity or perpetuate a scam using your name and likeness.
• Meet in person and pay securely. Arrange to meet in a public place to exchange tickets and payment. This reduces the risk of getting scammed online. Bring a friend along for added security or consider making the exchange near a local law enforcement agency.
• Report suspected scams. If you believe you may be a victim of a ticketing scam, you are strongly encouraged to report the crime to the University of Iowa Police Department by calling (319)335-5022.

All items and persons entering Kinnick Stadium are subject to security screening and inspection via a walk-through metal detector and/or a hand wand metal detector. Arrive early to avoid lines and delays getting into Kinnick Stadium. If you wait – you will be late!

Using the latest screening technologies, guests will not need to remove any items from their person as they pass through, like your wallet, keys, or phone. Unlike the airports or other venues, you have visited, you can keep everything on you. Your wristlet or clutch will also be carried right through the metal detector. Remember, we have a Clear Bag Policy at Kinnick Stadium.

If you alarm when passing through the metal detector, the security staff member will conduct a secondary screening using a handheld metal detector wand. If you are still alarming, a police officer may be summoned to assist with the security screening.

Guests may refuse inspections, but management reserves the right to refuse entry. Guests that are found with prohibited items are subject to the Code of Iowa and/or ejection from the stadium. Cooperation with game management and security personnel will help maintain Kinnick Stadium as a safe and secure environment for all guests.

Weapons are not permitted in the stadium. Possession of a firearm or weapon is strictly forbidden. Possession of a weapon will result in immediate confiscation, ejection and/or possible arrest.

Generally, all persons may pass through the walk-through metal detectors. The walk-through metal detectors comply with regulations relating to pacemakers, defibrillators, or other vital support systems; and are safe for pregnant women. The electromagnetic field emitted by CEIA (manufacturer of our metal detectors) devices is extremely weak, with amplitude comparable with that of the earth’s magnetic field. However, CEIA cannot exclude that this screening device may affect personal medical electronic devices, depending on their functionality or their restrictions on use. Any recommendation or directive issued by medical personnel or medical equipment manufacturers relating to electromagnetic fields must therefore be implemented. If you are unable to pass through the metal detector, let the event staff know, and they will perform an alternative screening using a hand-held metal detector wand.

Kinnick Stadium is certified as Sensory Inclusive by KultureCity! Our event staff go through sensory inclusion training on an annual basis, and we have Sensory Bags available at each Fans First stand location. Sensory Bags contain fidget devices, noise cancelling headphones, visual cue cards, and strobe reduction glasses. Fans First stands are located near Gate B, Gate H, Gate I, and Gate M.

TICKET REVOCATION POLICY

The University of Iowa has a long-standing history of promoting good sports-like conduct, appropriate fan behavior and providing an environment that is safe and enjoyable for all events sponsored by the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics. All spectators who engage in unruly or disruptive behavior, or participate in illegal conduct are subject to ejection from all athletic events. Ticket holders are responsible both for their own conduct and the conduct of those who use their tickets to gain admission to athletic events. This also applies to tickets sold on the unauthorized secondary market (internet auction site, ticket broker, etc.). Ticket holders to all University of Iowa athletic events purchase, hold and use their tickets subject to compliance with the following policy:

LETTER OF WARNING – A letter of warning may be issued by the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics to any ticket holder whose ticket is used to gain admission by any individual who is subsequently ejected from the event by law enforcement, security or event personnel for any reason. In the case of severe conduct or repeat ejections, the ticket purchaser’s ability to purchase tickets in the future may be restricted or revoked.

REVOCATION OF TICKET(S) – The ticket used by an individual to gain admission to an athletic event may be revoked for the remainder of that current sport season for, but not limited to, any of the following conduct or offenses committed within the confines of any University of Iowa Athletic facility:

• Transport to a health care facility by law enforcement or EMS for incapacitation due to excessive drunkenness or the use of illegal drugs;
• Citation or arrest for throwing objects, resisting arrest/obstruction, battery, public urination or disorderly conduct involving violent or indecent behavior;
• Arrest for any violation of the Code of Iowa.
• Any violation of the Iowa Athletics Fan Code of Conduct Policy.

Any such revocation of ticket(s) will include a refund of the purchase price of the ticket(s) on a pro rata basis for the remaining events included in the ticket package. In the case of repeat revocations, the ticket purchaser’s ability to purchase tickets in the future may be restricted or revoked. Questions concerning this policy should be directed to Marcus Wilson, Senior Associate Director of Athletics at 319-335-9247.
