Generally

All benefits-eligible unclassified and university support staff employees will be given the opportunity to obtain a complimentary ticket for each University-sponsored regular season event held on campus. To claim the complimentary ticket, a valid PSU photo identification card must be presented at the Ticket Office in 137 Weede prior to the event or at the gate prior to each game.

According to IRS regulations, the ticket will not be taxable to the employee unless the event completely sells out.  If an event completely sells out, the value of the complimentary tickets is considered a taxable fringe benefit and will be reported as taxable income.

 

Discounted Football Tickets

In addition to complimentary ticket(s) for home regular season football games in Carnie Smith Stadium, employees will be able to purchase prior to game day up to four (4) additional tickets per event at a $2.00 discount. For example, an employee may purchase an adult ticket that costs $15.00 for $13.00. The value of the discount is not a taxable fringe benefit.

 

Full-Priced Tickets

There is no limit to the number of tickets employees may purchase at the full price.
