2025-2026 BASKETBALL PARKING
Minimum Qualification:
Anyone that wishes to request Vol or Lady Vol Basketball parking must have season tickets on their account to qualify.
Premium Season Ticket Holder Parking Policies:
The new model will maintain premium parking qualifications for the Luxury Suites, Loges, Courtside Floor Seats, and Baseline Floor Seats as your number of tickets will equate to the same number of eligible parking passes to request (please see below).
Luxury Suites: The new model will maintain premium parking qualifications for Luxury Suites, as outlined in any applicable current Luxury Suite contract. This will be re-evaluated at the end of each contract
Loge: 1 pass per 2 premium season tickets
Courtside Floor Seats: 1 pass per 2 premium season tickets
Baseline Floor Seats: 1 pass per 2 premium season tickets
Please note, Riverside Club parking is not included in the season ticket cost and must be purchased separately. Riverside Club parking will follow the Non-Premium Season Ticket Holder Parking Policies as listed below.
Non-Premium Season Ticket Holder Parking Policies:
Accounts with non-premium season tickets will have their parking eligibility and quantity of parking passes determined by the number of tickets on their account.
1 pass can be requested per 2-4 non-premium season tickets
2 passes can be requested per 5-8 non-premium season tickets
3 passes can be requested per 9-12 non-premium season tickets
4 passes can be requested per 13-17 non-premium season tickets
5 passes can be requested per 18+ non-premium season tickets
Accessible Parking Requests:
Accessible parking takes the place of a paid, parking request. If you are eligible for one parking permit, it can be either be an accessible request or a paid request – but not both. Parking Services will accept accessible parking applications August 1 through September 30.
Location of Parking Passes:
The donor’s parking location will be determined strictly by Tennessee Fund donor rank. Annual priority levels will no longer be a factor in the parking process. Also, please note that the “Tier” system for Football Parking does NOT apply for Basketball Parking.
Vol Basketball Lots: G5/30, G3/G4, Circle Park, 30A, 9A, G10, G16, G1, and C15
Lady Vol Basketball Lots: G5/30, G3/G4, and G10
All lots are subject to change.
Opportunities to Improve Donor Rank:
Under the new parking model, donor rank becomes even more important. As we prepare for the parking selection process prior to the 2025-2026 season, we wanted to make you aware of philanthropic giving opportunities to potentially improve your donor rank. Please keep in mind that donations do not guarantee parking locations; however, improving your donor rank can potentially expand your parking options. All philanthropic donations are 100% tax-deductible and will increase your donor priority points! Click here to learn more about ways to improve your rank.

FAQ
Will all accounts that request parking in 2025-2026 get a pass?
Following the renewal deadline, requests for parking will be sent to season ticket holders. Once all requests are received, we will go through our allocation process in donor rank order. Given the nature of the requests, there is a possibility that our demand will exceed our supply. Therefore, some season tickets holders who requested parking will not receive a parking pass for the 2025-2026 season.
Why is selection by donor rank the best method?
Donor rank is the best method for allocating parking, because it considers the lifetime giving for a particular account and ranks them accordingly. This puts an emphasis on loyalty and longevity of giving, as well as leadership annual giving.
Why is this new model an improvement over our current parking selection model?
The proposed change is better because it will prevent our season ticket holders and our staff from having to reallocate parking on a yearly basis. We will forego the “request” process and the “selection” process because parking will be renewable in the same location for qualified accounts.
When will donor rank be finalized for the parking process?
We will maintain a parking relocation request list. This list will be maintained in donor rank order. Should any parking passes become available, we will review our relocation request list in donor rank order to re-assign parking passes while we are in the “3-year locked" parking window.
How does this impact accessible parking?
Our accessible parking model will remain the same for the 2025-2026 season. Each year, season ticket holders will send in their respective documents and the TN Fund will work in conjunction with UT Parking services to assign. The assignment of an accessible parking pass is not meant to be an “additional” pass, it is meant to be go in place of a parking pass which is obtained under the normal allocation model. No matter your quantity of tickets, you will be eligible to request accessible parking. Location assignments will not be affected. For example, if you have 2 season tickets and request an accessible parking pass, you will still have the opportunity to be allocated a pass in G10 (accessible spaces).
How will I select my pass in 2025-2026?
Your parking pass will be selected in donor rank order via our online interactive parking selection map after we have concluded the parking pass request process.
When will the parking selection process begin?
The parking selection process is slated to begin in the Fall of 2025.
How can I improve my donor rank to get a better spot?
Season ticket holders are encouraged to make a tax-deductible gift to the My All Campaign to boost their donor rank. Season ticket holders could also join the Shareholder Society, which is a 5-year capital gift commitment.
Will parking in G10 be impacted by the proposed Neyland Entertainment District?
Additional information on the future capacity and structure of the G10 parking garage will be released in the near future.
