TICKET ACCESS AND SEATING PRIORITY FOR 2025 POSTSEASON

Nova Points totals for 2026 postseason ticket access and seating priority will be updated in your online ticket account by January 31, 2025, once all gifts have been processed and recorded. This update will include all giving-related credit and annual seat premium credit since June 1, 2024. Credit related to season ticket holder status (i.e., 30 points per year as a men’s basketball full season ticket holder in the Finneran Pavilion or 15 points per year as a men’s basketball Xfinity Mobile Arena ticket package holder) will be added to Nova Points totals by June 30, 2025.

A minimum gift of $500 to Villanova Athletics since June 1, 2023 is required to have the opportunity to purchase tickets to 2025 postseason games through Villanova Athletics. Gifts to the Villanova Athletic Fund (VAF) and annual seat premiums for the 2024-25 season—including those for Finneran Pavilion and Xfinity Mobile Arena ticket packages—qualify towards the $500 gift threshold. Gifts made since June 1, 2024 that have already been designated cannot be redirected to Villanova Athletics in order to meet the required minimum to purchase postseason tickets.

 

SEAT CHANGE PROCESS FOR 2025-26 SEASON

Once you renew your seats, you will have the option to request seat location change. Once the renewal window closes, the upgrade process will begin with priority set by Nova Points totals as of May 31, 2025 and available inventory.

If your account has not accumulated at least 50 Nova Points, your point total will not be visible online. 

**Annual seat premiums and seat license payments count towards Lifetime Recognition, Nova Points and annual donor participation. Lifetime Recognition reflects donor’s Lifetime Giving and Athletic annual seat premium payments since January 1, 2018. Annual seat premiums and seat license payments count for Villanova Athletic Fund benefits but do NOT count for giving society recognition (i.e., President’s Club, Matthew Carr Society, etc.).

***Nova Points earned for documented revocable deferred gifts to the University will not be realized until the year the donor turns 65. The gift amount will still be applied to total Lifetime Giving and earn recognition in the 1842 Heritage Society. 

****30 points for Women's Basketball, Men's Lacrosse, and Football season tickets are for the 2018-2019 season and moving forward, not for past seasons.
