POLICY ON REVOCATION OF SEASON TICKETS

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.

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 will 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. The letters of warning will be maintained and reviewed by Athletics staff and University of Iowa Public Safety at the end of each sport season. 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 will 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:

Any such revocation of ticket(s) will include a refund of the purchase price of the ticket(s) on a pro rata basis over 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.
