Step 4: Order Confirmation

  • Your order confirmation will arrive in your UMICH email address immediately upon completing the ticket redemption process.
  • Your order confirmation is NOT proof of your commencement tickets. Your digital graduate and guest tickets will be emailed to you on Wednesday, December 10, 2025.

Step 5: Receiving & Downloading Your Tickets on Wednesday, December 10, 2025

  • Your digital graduate and guest tickets will be sent to your UMICH email address from [email protected] and can be downloaded via the Michigan Athletics mobile app.
  • Undergraduates and Master’s graduate tickets are maize. PhD graduate tickets are blue and all guest tickets are white.
  • Download your mobile tickets to your digital wallet prior to arriving at the stadium to ensure efficient entry. For complete details on downloading your tickets by email or by using the Michigan Athletics mobile app, visit the mobile ticketing page. You can download your tickets using the Michigan Athletics mobile app or by signing into your online account at MGoBlue.com/MyAccount.
  • It is extremely important to download your tickets well in advance as there is limited cellular coverage in the vicinity of the Crisler Center. Once your tickets have been downloaded, you do not need cellular service to access them or have them scanned.
  • Do not print your digital ticket as printed digital tickets will not be accepted at the door. You may go straight to the door and present your ticket from your phone’s wallet.
  • You must transfer your white guest tickets to your guests no later than Friday, December 12, 2025 at 11:59 PM ET in order to ensure smooth entry to the Crisler Center. Learn how to transfer your guest tickets here.
