Priority Seating
Certain seating sections in MidAmerican Energy Field at Jack Trice Stadium and Hilton Coliseum require an annual donation in addition to the season ticket cost. The revenues generated from this priority seating program go directly to supporting the academic and competitive pursuits of our student-athletes. Season ticket buyers determine the location of their seats based upon their membership level in the Cyclone Club, position in the athletics department's Priority Points system (based upon donations) and seat availability.
Donation Levels
Click football, men's basketball or women's basketball for diagrams of the minimum donation levels for priority seating options in MidAmerican Energy Field at Jack Trice Stadium and Hilton Coliseum. No other Iowa State sports have priority seating programs. To be considered for priority seating options, donors must be season ticket holders and make their annual contributions by the dates established for each sport (by February 28, 2026 for football and July 31, 2026 for men's and women's basketball).

Iowa State Athletics uses a priority point system in combination with a patron's donor level to determine the order in which football, men's basketball and women's basketball seating requests are processed. The order in which requests are processed are as follows:
- Cyclone Club members who renewed their season tickets from the prior year, provided their membership is current and at the appropriate level for their location.
- New Cyclone Club members, dependent upon membership level and points within that level. Seat location is dependent upon availability.
- Non-donors, who renewed their tickets from the prior year and new season ticket holders who are not members of the Cyclone Club. These individuals will be seated in non-donor areas.
Cyclone Club members can retain their seat locations from year to year if they maintain the appropriate required annual donation. Priority seating section minimum requirements are evaluated by the Athletics Department annually.
Donors are allowed to purchase four seats in a priority seating section (except for Director's Level donors, who may purchase up to eight season tickets in their desired section) for football and men's basketball. Donors desiring more than four seats in a priority section must give an additional 25% of their annual club level amount for each additional seat (above four). Otherwise, the additional seats will be located in a non-donor section.
Tickets for bowl games, Big 12 and NCAA Basketball Tournaments are allocated according to Cyclone Club level and priority points within that level while supplies last.
Priority Parking
The Iowa State Athletics Department is pleased to offer preferred game day parking for football, men's basketball and women's basketball to its Cyclone Club members.
Parking assignments are processed according to your Cyclone Club donor level and priority points. Your donor level is the first criteria used, and each member is then ranked within your level by the priority points you have accumulated (please see the Cyclone Club membership guide for priority point details). To receive full consideration for parking privileges, Cyclone Club members must submit their payment by the dates established for each sport (by February 28, 2026 for football and July 31, 2026 for men's and women's basketball). Lot requirements are subject to change, based off demand and will be communicated to all donors prior to the start of the annual parking selection process.

Priority Points
The Cyclone Club uses a priority points system to provide consistent, fair, and equitable allocation of donor benefits.
Benefits are allocated by Cyclone Club membership level and then by priority points within that level.
Priority points are allocated to an account when a financial gift is received, not when a pledge is made.
Priority points accumulate from year to year on a donor's account and are not transferable. Donations to other campus departments or units do not qualify for Cyclone Club priority points.
Priority Points are Awarded Annually For:
| Factor | Points |
|---|---|
| Giving to Athletics | 1 per $100 |
| Football Season Ticket Purchase | 10 per year |
| Men's Basketball Season Ticket Purchase | 10 per year |
| Women's Basketball Season Ticket Purchase | 10 per year |
| ISU Alumni Association Member | 5 per year |
| Each One, Bring One Century, States, or Cardinal | 5 per Referral |
| Each One, Bring One Gold or Captains | 10 per Referral |
| Each One, Bring One Victory or Directors | 25 per Referral |
