Terrapin Family,
We hope that you and your loved ones remain safe and healthy during this uncertain time.
Like all of you, Maryland Athletics is facing an extraordinary challenge. We recognize the significant hardships caused by the emergence of COVID-19, and, in consideration of this unprecedented situation, we feel that it is important to be flexible.
As such, we have made adjustments to our Terrapin Club, football, and men's and women's basketball season ticket timelines and refund policies for the 2020-21 athletic season, which are detailed below.
In 2020-21, all Maryland athletic seasons have begun with no fans in attendance at Maryland athletic events out of an abundance of caution for the health and safety of our student-athletes and fans. Maryland athletics is hopeful that some fans will be welcomed to on-campus venues as the season progress and health conditions permit.
We will communicate all updates as they are available.
Big Ten Statement on 2020-21 Fall Season (Sept. 16)
The Big Ten Council of Presidents and Chancellors (COP/C) adopted significant medical protocols including daily antigen testing, enhanced cardiac screening and an enhanced data-driven approach when making decisions about practice/competition. The COP/C voted unanimously to resume the football season starting the weekend of October 23-24, 2020.
Football Tickets
The 2020 Maryland football season began on Oct. 24. Teams are scheduled to play a nine-game, conference-only schedule.
Under guidance from the Big Ten Conference and Prince George's County Health Department,
fans will not be admitted to Capital One Field at Maryland Stadium and tailgating on campus will be strictly prohibited.
There will be no
football season tickets for the 2020 season. It is our hope that we may be able to welcome some fans to home games as the season progresses and health conditions permit. If and when fan attendance is permitted, we have established some new measures for this season:
- Convert your season ticket purchase into a donation to the Terrapin Club (Seating Fund), which allows us to provide scholarships, academic support, medical care, and mental health services for every one of our student-athletes. As an added incentive, we are offering double Terpoints (16 points per $100) to those who choose this option.
- Receive a 110% Ticket Credit, applicable to any ticket purchases made through December 2021. This includes any football games played in the spring, 2021 football season tickets, or any other home, regular season Maryland Athletics event.
- Request a refund
Men's & Women's Basketball Tickets
The season will begin with no fans in attendance at XFINITY Center out of an abundance of caution for the health and safety of our student-athletes and fans. Maryland athletics is hopeful that some fans will be welcomed to XFINITY Center as the season progresses and health conditions permit.
As a result, Maryland is proud to announce a new initiative called the
Maryland Basketball Virtual Sellout, which will give fans the opportunity to purchase a seat, row, section or courtside seat at XFINITY Center while providing exclusive commemorative items and access. The goal is to sell all 17,950 seats at XFINITY Center.
Virtual ticket options range from $10 to $1,000. There is also an option to purchase the opportunity to have "XFINITY Center To Yourself" for $17,950 and watch an away basketball game this season with up to 10 friends and/or family members. If interested in purchasing the XFINITY Center to Yourself package, please contact the Terrapin Ticket Office at 301-314-7070 or 800-IM-A-TERP.
Each virtual ticket offers a variety of commemorative items, with every option offering the opportunity to win an Exclusive Gameday Experience at a home game during the 2021-22 season. To secure your virtual spot in XFINITY Center,

Maryland Athletics is also excited to offer
Terrapin Cutouts for the 2020-21 men's and women's basketball seasons. For as low as $55, you can send us an image of yourself, your friend, relative, or even a pet showing their Maryland pride, and be part of gameday at XFINITY Center!

Mobile/Digital Ticketing
Maryland Athletics will shift entirely to digital ticketing for football and basketball beginning with the 2020 fall season. Digital ticketing will allow for contactless entry into athletic venues, offering fans greater convenience, flexibility and safety in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The many benefits of mobile ticketing include the opportunity to securely manage, transfer, or resell your tickets directly from your smartphone. Mobile ticketing also protects the integrity of tickets, improving protection against fraud as well as never having to worry about tickets being lost in the mail.
Terrapin Club
Donations to the Terrapin Club fund the scholarships and support 500+ Maryland student-athletes. Contributions to the Terrapin Club are non-refundable.Â
This is a difficult situation, and we understand that we are unable to provide the perfect solution for everyone. That said, any updates or changes to the above plans will be made with our fans in mind. If adjustments are made, we will proactively communicate them with you as soon as possible.
Though times are uncertain, we know that your continued support and belief in One Maryland will bring us back together again. As you always have, we know that you will be there to cheer us on when that time comes.
Until then, please keep yourselves and your loved ones safe and healthy.
Sincerely,
Maryland Athletics
