In the ever-changing landscape of college athletics, the Wolfpack is on an upward trajectory. Because of those many changes, your support is more crucial now than ever.  For our teams to continue to compete at their highest level, we need the support of Wolfpack Nation to rise to another level as well. 

The PACK FORWARD campaign takes a fresh, forward-thinking approach to tickets, parking, and annual donations at NC State. Our goal is to bring our pricing and donation models more in line with the rest of our conference and the other Power Conferences. Pack Forward is a necessary step for NC State Athletics to maintain our success in an ever changing landscape. This is a challenge to all of Wolfpack Nation with the goal of moving the Pack Forward.

We are working hard every day to explore opportunities to increase revenue in this new landscape without relying solely on our fanbase. We continue to explore all revenue streams, including retail, apparel and multimedia rights partnerships, naming rights at Carter-Finley and other spaces, as well as outside rentals. The Pack Forward ticket and donations program is an important part in our commitment to our student-athletes and fans.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are we making these changes?

Together, NC State Athletics and the Wolfpack Club are committed to creating the best possible home field advantage in the country. For our teams to continue to compete at their highest level in the ever-changing landscape of college athletics, we need the support of Wolfpack Nation to rise to another level as well.


Why are season tickets variably priced?

Not every seat in our venues are viewed equally. Everyone’s preference of where to sit and how much they want to spend is different. We recognize that and want to offer options that follow that thinking. We want to offer options that fit all budgets, but also play to the demand of our events.


What are Required Seat Donations (RSD)?

Seats purchased that are not currently under a Lifetime Seating Rights (LTR) or multi-year seat license, traditionally called “annual seats”, will have a required seat donation (RSD) attached to each season ticket. These seat donations will be priced at different levels based on section.


Does paying required seat donations make me an active member of the Wolfpack Club?

While paying the RSD counts towards your lifetime giving, it does not make you an active Wolfpack Club Member. To be an active Wolfpack Club Member, you will need to donate to the annual fund at least at the minimum Teammate Level of $120 per year. Visit WolfpackClub.com for more information on membership levels and benefits.


Are you implementing this campaign for other sports? Men’s Basketball, Baseball?

Football launched in 2024 and Women’s Basketball in 2025. While we anticipate this coming to other sports in the future, nothing has been finalized or imminent. Baseball has had this model in place starting with the 2022 Stadium Enhancement Fund of $100/ticket.
