ALCOHOL POLICY:
Alcohol will be sold inside Yankee Stadium. Visit the Yankee Stadium A-Z Guide under Alcohol Policy for more information.

Briefcases, coolers and hard-sided bags and containers are not permitted. All bags will be thoroughly inspected before they are permitted into the Stadium. Bag- size bins will be used at inspection points, and bags and their contents must fit without assistance, modification or adjustment.

Lehigh fans and students are strongly advised to follow all rules and regulations listed on the A-Z guide and to follow the Yankee Stadium Code of Conduct in every way. The New York City Police Department and the New York Yankees, not Lehigh University or Lafayette College, has jurisdiction over fan conduct at this game. Fans that enter onto the game field at any time will be arrested. Fans attempting to conceal alcohol into the stadium will face possible arrest. Fans will be searched on their way into the stadium.

Please email athleticstickets@lehigh.edu with your customer number. Lehigh will work with the New York Yankees to reprint your tickets. Any lost tickets that need to be reprinted will need to be picked up on game day at the Yankee Stadium Will Call window at Gate 4.

Lehigh Student FAQ's
UPDATE 3/11/14:
All tickets that have been purchased will be mailed to the customers' address. Similar to tickets for other away games, there is no print-at-home option for the Rivalry150 tickets. They will be mailed to customers in September. An exact date will be know later in the summer, and that information will be emailed to all customers in late summer.
UPDATE: 1/10/14:
In the release about tickets dated 11.23, we mentioned providing “more information in the New Year”. Many survey respondents are of course very interested in obtaining tickets for this historic 150th Lehigh-Lafayette game at Yankee Stadium, and have begun contacting our staff inquiring about the latest on the ticket situation. At this time, there is no change in Lehigh’s ticket situation. Please click here for the current ticket status.
Lehigh and Lafayette had a meeting scheduled with the New York Yankees for late December. With the workload involved in hosting such a popular Pinstripe Bowl matchup on December 28 (Rutgers vs. Notre Dame) which set a Pinstripe Bowl attendance record, the New York Yankees asked that our meeting be postponed until after the bowl season. That meeting will take place at some point in the near future, and from that meeting Lehigh and Lafayette will both develop ticket sales processes based on remaining ticket inventory and timeline for accessing those tickets. As a reminder, both Lehigh and Lafayette are holding tickets for students as well as football team families.
On Monday, Jan.6, Lafayette College went on sale with some of the tickets they had received from the New York Yankees back in November. These tickets were restricted to alumni, faculty, and staff of Lafayette College. Lehigh has not sold any tickets since the 11/23 update.
Lehigh Athletics will provide information on any additional tickets sold through Lehigh, made available from the New York Yankees, when the information becomes available at a later date. We will provide that information in plenty of time prior to any sale (at least 2 weeks’ notice). Therefore, there is no need to check our website daily for fear of missing out on an on-sale of tickets. Please simply wait for an email from rivalry150@lehigh.edu on the next steps.
Thank you for your continued patience with this process, and GO LEHIGH!
