As of the 2017 season, everyone entering Mountaineer Bowl will need a ticket. Mountaineer Athletic Association members will still have the same benefits, but their All-Sport Pass will no longer get them into football games. They will receive football season tickets in addition to their All-Sport Passes through the mail.
Continuing in 2018, Western Athletics and the Gunnison Watershed School District (Gunnison Community Schools and Crested Butte) offer students free entry into all Mountaineer athletic events, all year long. In addition, all children five and younger will also receive free admission to all Western athletic events.
Tickets to the game are $10 for adults, $5 for students (non-Western, non-GWSD students), $5 for senior citizens. Free entry for MAA members with a ticket, Western students with ID, children five and younger and all Gunnison Community and Crested Butte school students.
