STUDENT TICKETS

Welcome Class of 2026!

To commemorate the start of the academic and athletic calendar, Yale Athletics is excited to welcome new students to campus as we introduce history, traditions, and the spirit of being a Yale Bulldog.

On September 4th, 2022, we invite you to join us for music, giveaways, with a little bit of friendly competition inside the legendary John Lee Amphitheater. We encourage all students to represent their respective residential college for an afternoon of fun activities! The pep rally will begin promptly at 3:00pm. Immediately following the pep rally, transportation will be provided for students to attend the Yale Women’s Soccer match against Fordham at Reese Stadium. On arrival, festivities will continue with a live DJ, inflatables, food, photo booth, and giveaways during the soccer match! We are so excited to see you there!
