CU Student Sports Pass Info
New for 2025, students with Apple devices updated to iOS 16.4.0 or above will link wallet passes to their Apple ID. Students will be prompted to a one-time action of linking their Colorado Athletics Ticket account to their Apple ID account using Face ID or passcode. A Colorado Athletics account can only be linked to ONE Apple ID. Your Apple ID and Colorado Athletics email do not need to match for binding to be successful. Once bound, tickets downloaded from your Colorado Athletics ticket account will only be valid on devices belonging to your Apple ID.
To use Apple Wallet for your tickets, make sure both Cellular Data and NFC are turned on:
- Go to Settings → Cellular (or Mobile Data) and confirm it’s switched on. Also check that Wallet is allowed to use cellular data.
- Go to Settings → Wallet & Apple Pay → make sure Allow Access When Locked and NFC are enabled. (On most iPhones, NFC is on by default, but this confirms it’s ready.)
Cellular data lets Wallet refresh and verify your tickets, and NFC is what allows your phone to ‘tap’ at the gate or scanner.
If you share your login info with another person in an effort to let them use your ticket, your OWN device will be locked out of future ticket use. They will have access to your account and you will not. DO NOT SHARE YOUR LOGIN WITH ANYONE. If your account is incorrectly bound with someone else's device, you will risk forfeiting your sports pass for the year. So if your plans have changed and you cannot make a game, please email cutix@colorado.edu 24 hours before that game in order to maintain your eligibility for future claims.
If you sell a student ticket, your sports pass will be cancelled.
CU Sports Passes for the 2025-26 school year are sold out.
The CU Sports Pass is for eligible CU Boulder students only. CU Boulder undergraduate students must be registered for a minimum of four (4) credit hours to be eligible to purchase.
