Complimentary Admissions
During an official or unofficial visit the institution may provide a prospective student-athlete a maximum of three (five if the recruit has a nontraditional family and both step parents and biological parents are on the campus visit) complimentary admissions to a home athletics event at any facility within a 30-mile radius of the institution's main campus in which the institution's intercollegiate team practices or competes.
- These complimentary admissions may only be used by the prospect and those persons accompanying the prospect on the visit.
- The complimentary admissions must be issued through a pass list on an individual game basis.
- The complimentary admissions may provide seating only in the general seating area of the facility utilized for conducting the event.
- An institution may reserve tickets, only for the use of immediate family members accompanying a prospect during an official visit and for seat locations adjacent to the complimentary seats being provided to the prospect. These tickets must be purchased at face value.
- Providing seating during the conduct of the event (including intermission) for the prospect or those persons accompanying the prospect in the facility's press box, special seating box(es) or bench area is specifically prohibited.
- A member institution may not provide complimentary admissions to a prospect for a postseason conference tournament.
- The prospect may purchase tickets only in the same manner as any other member of the general public.
- The provision of complimentary or reduced-cost admissions to prospects for an NCAA championship (all rounds) or other postseason contests (e.g., NIT championship) constitutes excessive entertainment and is prohibited. The prospect may purchase these tickets only in the same manner as any other member of the general public.
