* NEW FOR 2026 - Parking is going DIGITAL *
What's Changing?
Starting in the 2026 season, football parking passes will transition to digital passes that function exactly like your tickets. This will allow fans to download, transfer, and resell parking passes with the click of a button, right from your UVATix account - no need to coordinate mail or meet-ups to exchange your pass(es), and no worry of losing them!
See below for more information, or contact the Virginia Athletics Foundation at 434-982-5555.
* NEW FOR 2025 – APPLE USERS ONLY *
Apple device users – your mobile tickets and parking passes are getting more secure. Here’s what you need to know:
What’s Changing
Your mobile tickets and parking passes now include account binding—a security feature that links your tickets to your Apple Account, similar to how Apple Pay protects your payment cards.
This change prevents unauthorized ticket/parking sharing and protects against fraud while keeping the same easy entry experience you’re used to.
What You Need to Know
- Your UVATix.com account will now be permanently bound to your Apple account.
- Each person who downloads a ticket or parking pass to their device must have their own UVATix.com account.
- ALWAYS use the official ticket/parking transfer feature in your UVATix.com account.
- NEVER share your UVATix.com login with anyone not using your Apple device.
- NEVER forward a “download to wallet” email as a way of sharing tickets/parking with others.
To set up account binding, sign in to your UVATix.com account and add one ticket (do not select “add all”) to your wallet. Follow the Apple verification prompt. Your accounts are now bound. Feel free to use the transfer feature to share your tickets with others.
How It Works
First Time Setup: When you add your first mobile ticket or parking pass to your Apple Wallet, Apple will ask you to verify your Apple Account using Face ID, Touch ID, or your password. This one-time step creates a secure connection between your UVATix.com account and your Apple Account.
Future Tickets/Parking: All future tickets and parking passes from Virginia Athletics will automatically link to your Apple Account — no additional setup needed.
At the Gate/Lot: Nothing changes. Tap your phone at the scanner just like before.
Sharing Tickets with Family and Friends
You can no longer forward “Add to Wallet” emails to share tickets and parking. Do not share your UVATix.com login info to share tickets or parking passes with others either. Instead, use the official transfer feature in your UVATix.com account.
For Groups and Families: Each person who downloads a ticket and/or parking pass to their device must have their own UVATix.com account. The person who bought the tickets or parking pass should download their ticket(s) to their own Apple Wallet. This person then transfers tickets to other group members through the official process.
What to Look For
Ready to Scan: Look for “Hold near reader“ on your pass in Apple Wallet—this means your ticket/parking is properly linked and ready to use.
Need Help: If you don’t see this icon or your ticket shows as disabled, contact the Virginia Athletics Ticket Office at 434-924-8821.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do anything different?
For the first ticket/parking pass you download, you will need to verify your Apple Account once. After that, everything works automatically.
What if I’m having trouble?
Make sure you’re signed into the same Apple Account you used when first adding tickets or parking. If problems continue, contact us at 434-924-8821.
Can I still share my tickets?
Only by the official transfer feature on your UVATix account. You will no longer be able to forward emails or share passwords.
For further information, please see our Apple Account Binding Guide
Virginia Athletics features contactless ticket/parking scanning to help fans enter more quickly on game day. Here’s how easy it is to use your digital tickets:

- Simply tap the back of your phone to the ticket scanner

Each person who needs to download a ticket or parking pass to their device must have their own UVATix.com account.
ALWAYS use the My Account transfer feature within your UVATix.com account.

Why did we transition to mobile tickets and parking?
Mobile passes a safe, secure, and convenient ticketing environment for Virginia Athletics fans.
- No more losing tickets and parking passes in the mail, forgetting your them at home, or bringing the wrong set
- Easily manage your tickets via your online My Tickets account
- Enjoy simple, contactless entry into the stadium and/or parking lot
- Never worry about having fraudulent tickets and parking passes again
Additionally, transitioning to mobile tickets and parking is a not insignificant cost-savings measure, allowing us to allocate funds within the operational budget to better support our 750+ student athletes.
What are mobile tickets/parking?
Mobile passes are similar to traditional event tickets and parking passes, but they are easier to use and more secure. You simply add your pass(es) to your Apple Wallet or Google Pay app on your smart phone and easily access them when you arrive at the stadium. You will not see the traditional barcode on your mobile pass - instead, they work via NFC (near field communication) technology.
Can I take a screenshot or download and print my mobile tickets or parking?
No, the mobile passes use NFC (near field communication) technology and a screenshot will not work.
How do I manage my tickets? Can I manage my tickets on my computer instead of my mobile device?
Managing your tickets is easy through your UVATix account. Simply log-in using your email address to view, transfer, or post your tickets/parking for re-sale on SeatGeek. Your UVATix account can be accessed on any device (smartphone, computer, or tablet) with a working internet connection, but can only be downloaded when viewed on your smartphone.
What if I am unable to remember my account login information?
While on the UVATix login page, click “Forgot Password” and follow the instructions to create a new password for your account.
What if I cannot find the email the tickets/parking were delivered in?
Simply log in to your account at UVATix using your email address to manage all of your tickets and parking passes.
Can I transfer my tickets or parking to someone else from my phone’s wallet app?
Tickets and parking can only be transferred from UVATix.com. Simply log in to your account using your email address and click "Transfer Tickets" to get started. Once the transfer has been accepted by the recipient, the ticket you sent will show up as not valid in your phone’s wallet app.
What if my ticket/parking can’t be read at the gate?
Should you have difficulty with scanning your contactless ticket, you may instead access your ticket’s unique QR code. To do this, simply follow these instructions:
Apple Devices: Tap the … button in the top right corner of the screen, then scroll down. The QR code will be located approximately halfway down the page.
Android Devices: Scroll down below the ticket image and tap “Show Code”. The QR code will be displayed.
The QR code on each ticket may be scanned using the reader located at the bottom of the pedestal scanner device. If you need assistance, game day staff at the entry gate area will be happy to help you.
Can I have multiple tickets/parking passes on the same mobile device?
Yes, you can swipe through your available passes at the venue if the entire party is present. However, if your party is entering at different gates/times you will need to send each attendee their individual ticket/parking.
What if I do not have an iPhone or Android mobile device?
If you do not have a smartphone, you can transfer your tickets/parking from a computer to someone in your party who does have a smartphone. If that is not an option, please contact the Virginia Athletics Ticket Office at uvatickets@virginia.edu.
Can I still print my tickets at home?
No, print-at-home tickets are no longer available. This option was eliminated years ago in an effort to prevent and reduce fraudulent tickets.
How do I enter the stadium/parking lot using mobile passes?
As you approach the ticket scanners, pull out your smartphone and open your Apple Wallet or G Pay app. Next, tap on the appropriate pass and simply hold the back of your phone to the ticket scanner. Finally, swipe left or right to scan any additional passes that you have for the game.
What if I cannot get service nor Wi-Fi at the stadium?
We strongly recommend that you add your tickets to your Apple Wallet or G Pay account prior to departing for the stadium. Once the tickets are in your Apple Wallet or G Pay account, you do not need an internet connection to pull them up and scan into the stadium.
What if my guests and I arrive at different times/use different gates?
If your guests are entering separately you will need to transfer their tickets so that they may download them and enter at their own convenience.
What if my mobile pass will not scan properly?
Make sure that your screen brightness is turned up all the way. If you continue to have issues scanning your tickets, please visit a Ticket Services window.
What if my mobile device battery dies, breaks, or is lost?
If you have issues on gameday, please visit a Ticket Services window for assistance.
What if I don’t have a smartphone?
Please contact the ticket office at 434-924-8821 to discuss.
I still have questions that are not answered above, who do I talk to?
Please contact the Virginia Athletics Ticket Office Monday-Friday from 9 am to 5 pm (9 am to 4 pm from June 1 through July 31) with any additional questions regarding mobile ticketing.
