Introduction

The University of Wisconsin-Madison promotes good sportsmanship, appropriate fan behavior and a welcoming atmosphere for all at all athletic events sponsored by the Division of Intercollegiate Athletics. All fans who engage in unruly or illegal conduct are subject to ejection from athletic events. In addition, season ticket holders are responsible for their own conduct and the conduct of all others who use their tickets to gain admission to athletic events.

Season ticket holders to all UW-Madison athletic events purchase, hold, and use their tickets subject to strict compliance with the following policy:

Letters of Warning

A letter of warning will be issued by the Division of Intercollegiate Athletics to any season ticket holder whose ticket is used to gain admission to any athletic event by any individual who is ejected from the event by police or security personnel for any reason. The letters of warning will be maintained and reviewed by Athletics staff and the University of Wisconsin Police Department at the end of every sport season. In the case of severe conduct or repeat ejections, the ticket purchaser's ability to purchase season tickets in the future may be restricted or revoked.

Revocation of Season Ticket(s)

The season ticket used by any individual to gain admission to an athletic event will be revoked for the remainder of that current sport season for any of the following conduct or offenses committed within the confines of any UW-Madison Athletic facility:

• conveyance to a health care or detox facility by any police official on account of incapacitation due to excessive drunkenness or the use of illegal drugs;
• citation or arrest for throwing hard objects, resisting arrest/obstruction, battery, public urination or disorderly conduct involving violent or indecent behavior;
• arrest for any violation of the Wisconsin Criminal Code.

Any such revocation of season ticket(s) will include a refund of the purchase price of the season ticket(s) prorated over the remaining events included in the ticket package. In the case of repeat revocations, the ticket purchaser's ability to purchase season tickets in the future may be restricted or revoked.
