Changes to Bobcat Football Tickets: How It Will Work This Year

All 2026 Bobcat Football tickets are being delivered digitally as NFC (Tap to Scan) tickets. Instead of displaying a traditional barcode, your ticket uses NFC technology to allow you to tap your phone at the ticket scanner for entry. Screenshot tickets will no longer be able to be used for entry into Bobcat Stadium

Before heading to Bobcat Stadium

Make sure your tickets are downloaded to either your Apple or Google Wallet.
Have your tickets ready before you reach the gate.
Use your phone to tap your ticket at the scanner.
Make sure your phone has enough battery to access your tickets.
Screenshots of tickets will not be accepted at entry.

Need help with your NFC tickets? The Bobcat Ticket Office is available to assist ticket holders at 406.994.CATS (2287). The Ticket Office is open Monday–Friday from 9 a.m.–5 p.m. and can provide an in-person tutorial.

Download Tickets

Montana State does not use a separate ticket-scanning app. The “Montana State” app is for scores, news, and social content only — your tickets live in your TicketsWest account and get added to your phone’s Apple Wallet or Google Wallet from there.

Tickets are downloaded through your account at montanastate.evenue.net (mobile browser), not through the Montana State app. Once downloaded to your wallet, hold your phone near the scanner at the gate — no QR code or screenshot needed.

General public / season ticket holders: Sign in to your account, open the event under My Upcoming Events, and select Add to Apple Wallet or Add to Google Wallet.

MSU students: Log in to TicketsWest at msustudenttickets.com using your student ID number during the ticket window for that home game week to claim your mobile ticket.

Mobile ticketing instructions specific to the season will be sent to ticket holders, per Bobcat Ticket Central.

Apple ID Account Binding

Montana State tickets are delivered through TicketsWest, which uses Apple’s account binding security feature for tickets added to Apple Wallet.

The first time you add a ticket to Apple Wallet, Apple will ask you to verify your Apple Account with Face ID, Touch ID, or your password.
Once bound, future tickets from TicketsWest are automatically bound to that Apple Account.
You cannot bind your ticketing account to a different Apple ID once bound.
Everyone who needs their own ticket needs their own TicketsWest account.
If your wallet shows “Pass Disabled,” contact the Bobcat Ticket Office for assistance.

Download From Website

You can access and download your tickets directly from your account on montanastate.evenue.net using your phone’s mobile browser:

Your tickets appear under My Upcoming Events. Select the event to open it.
