Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
1. Do I have to be a current donor to the Ralph Young Fund to request NCAA tickets?
Yes, due to the small allotment of tickets the University receives Ralph Young Fund or University Donor Society members are the only Spartan fans that can be accommodated with NCAA Tournament tickets.
***NOTE: Once Ralph Young Fund or University Donor Society members receive their requested ticket allotment, tickets will then be sold to the general public.
2. Can I join now in order to get NCAA tickets?
No. RYF members, as of July 1, 2007, are eligible for tickets. Please contact the Ralph Young Fund at 517.432.4610 for information on making a gift commitment. We strongly encourage joining now for next year’s NCAA Tournament.
