DAHLONEGA – The University of North Georgia Department of Athletics has announced spectator policies and ticketing for the 2026 soccer season ahead of Thursday's home opener at the UNG Soccer Field at Lynn Cottrell Park. The UNG men will kick off their season and host Barry at 7:00.
 
Tickets: Ticketing will continue to operate in a fully mobile model with tickets on sale now for $10 for a single game. Seniors ages 65 or older, middle and high school students and military members can purchase discounted single game tickets at $7 each. Season ticket options are also available for both the men's and women's seasons.
 
All tickets must be purchased online as there will be no cash transactions or walk-up ticket sales. For those fans that have not purchased tickets prior to arrival at the UNG Soccer Field at Lynn Cottrell Park, QR codes will be available to scan at the gates that will direct you to purchase your tickets online at UNGAthletics.com/Tickets. Event staff will be on site to assist with ticket purchases.
 
UNG students, faculty and staff will continue to gain free admission to all home events using the UNG Connect platform on their phone, using their personalized QR code. The UNG community can add their personalized QR code to their Apple or Google Wallet ahead of coming to the game by logging into UNG Connect through a web browser on their phone and adding the QR code to their wallet when prompted after opening. 

Gates open one hour prior to published start time.
 
Parking: Fans may opt to park either in the upper parking lot above the UNG Soccer Complex just off of Morrison Moore Parkway or in the parking lot below the indoor practice facility off Barlow Road. Ticketing checkpoints will be at both locations.
 
Restrooms & Concessions: Concessions and public restrooms are located behind the soccer field house. Fans are encouraged to stop by and enjoy a wide offering of food and drinks compliments of UNG Aramark Catering. Alcohol is available for purchase in the concession stand. Please enjoy responsibly and remember that a valid ID is required for all alcohol sales. Nighthawk concessions accepts credit cards and does not accept cash.  
 
Pets: With the exception of service animals, pets are not allowed in any section of University of North Georgia athletic facilities. Our pet policy is a mandated university-wide policy that was established for the health and safety of students, faculty, staff and visitors, and for the protection, efficient use and enjoyment of the campuses by ensuring that pets do not become a threat, health hazard, nuisance or distraction to University events. Service animals are defined as dogs that are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities. Detailed regulations on service animals can be found on the ADA Requirements (Service Animals) website. 
 
Live Coverage: For those fans unable to attend games on campus, the Nighthawk Sports Network will have full coverage through live statistics and video. Links for all games can be found on each sport's respective schedule page.

Digital Programs: North Georgia Athletics has transitioned from print to digital game day programs for all home events. Fans can see all the information commonly found in print at events with a scan of a code from their phone, including rosters, schedules, results and statistics. Our digital game experience is presented by Northeast Georgia Health System, the official healthcare partner of UNG Nighthawk athletics and is part of our commitment to a safe, healthy and paperless game environment.
