Parent & Family Weekend FAQs: Frequently Asked Questions
When is Parent & Family Weekend 2026?
Parent & Family Weekend 2026 is Friday, October 30 through Sunday, November 1 in conjunction
with the UofM Homecoming! Not to mention, it's Halloween weekend. That means more energy, more events, and even more ways to show your Tiger pride.
From the roar of game day to special campus traditions and Halloween fun, this will
be a weekend to remember.
I have the GTG-Go Tigers Go! or Go Gray! Package. Do I need to attend all of the events
on the schedule?
To receive the maximum value for your package, we encourage attendees to make plans
to attend all of our signature events. Regardless, attendance is not required and
you can feel free to choose the events that you want to attend with or without your
student. This weekend is yours to spend with your student and enjoy the University
of Memphis. Parent and Family Weekend name badges must be visibly worn and presented
to staff to access any and all events that are a part of Parent and Family Weekend.
How do I register, and what is included with my registration package?
Each family member who wants to participate in Parent & Family Weekend must register
online on the University's Athletic ticketing site powered by GOFEVO.COM. The registration
fee allows participation in all of the activities on the schedule of events unless
otherwise noted. The all-inclusive registration package is available for adult and
youth participants. Learn More/Register>>

Do I need to buy a package for my UofM student? What events can my UofM student attend?
The short answer is - No, Your UofM student is included with your registration. Your
package includes access for your enrolled UofM student to Parent and Family Weekend
events, but does not include a t-shirt for them or a football game ticket for them.
Students can reserve one free student ticket on the Athletics website using their
UofM credentials, but must sit in the designated student section. If you would like
your student to sit with you at the football game in the PFW section, you will need to purchase a separate football
ticket for them on the Parent and Family Weekend (GoFEVO) site. You may also purchase
a t-shirt for your student during the registration process.
Can I bring my younger children and siblings?
Parent and Family Weekend is for the entire family and not just parents. Many families
will bring siblings of all ages, grandparents, aunts, uncles... everyone! Please keep
in mind that all family members, regardless of age, must be registered in order to
participate in the scheduled events.
A separate Youth Package is available for children ages 4-12 years old. It includes entrance to all Parent & Family Weekend events, 1 tailgate ticket, and 1 football ticket in the Parent & Family Weekend section. However, it DOES NOT include a T-shirt (can be purchased separately). Youth 13 years and older will need to register for the Go Tigers Go package. Youth must attend with a parent, family member or guardian. Children 3 years old and younger can attend the football game for free as long as they sit on the lap of the parent or guardian.
We have another guest who would like to attend just one event, so can I buy a separate
ticket for them to attend that one event?
No. All of our events are exclusive to the Parent & Family Weekend (PFW) registration
packages. We do not sell tickets for entry to individual events other than the football
game, unless otherwise noted. You are welcome to purchase a Parent and Family Weekend
package for each family member and friends who would like to attend one or all PFW
events.
Why is the price on the FEVO site higher than the advertised ticket/shirt prices?
The prices shown on our website are the base prices only. Like most game or concert
ticket platforms, the FEVO platform adds on aprocessing fee for each item in your
cart. The higher prices shown on the FEVO site reflect the total ticket/shirt price
(including both the base price and the FEVO fee and taxes). To see a price summary
showing the base and fee breakdown, click the "information" icon next to the price
for each package.
My cart reset itself before I could checkout. Why did this happen?
The FEVO site has an automatic timer for the purchasing process. The timer gives you
a ninety (90) second window of time to complete the transaction. When the time is
close to expiring, you will see an onscreen pop-up where you can choose to restart
the timer (extending your current purchasing session by another 1 minute and 30 seconds).
Be careful - If the timer expires, your cart will refresh and reset, and you will
need to start the entire ordering process over.
Are refunds available?
Due to the nature of event planning and budget obligations, we are unable to offer
refunds for Parent & Family Weekend registration. All sales are final.
During the Weekend
Can my student pick up my packet for me during check-in?
Yes, if you are unable to come in-person to check-in, your student can pick up your
materials. Please make sure your student brings their student ID and a copy of your
confirmation email.
When should we plan to arrive? Do families stay for the whole weekend?
Parents and families are encouraged to check-in on Thursday evening (4:30-7pm) so
they can pick up materials, get settled and explore the city and other events that
happen on Thursday. Our Signature Parent and Family Weekend events begin on Friday
morning and last the entire day into the evening hours. Events are scheduled across
all three days, and there are fun activities to enjoy throughout the city, so plan
to stay for the entire weekend!
What if I arrive after check-in ends on Friday? What if I can't come until Saturday?
If you cannot arrive at the regular check-in times, please encourage your student
to pick up your materials during the designated check-in times and prior to your arrival.
Depending on the not-yet-announced game kickoff time, we will not be able to offer
a late check-in option on Saturday morning.
Where should we stay? Do you offer discounts at hotels?
You are welcome to stay whereever you choose. For Tiger families who may need lodging,
we have partnered with several hotels and lodging partners to offer discounted nightly
rates for the weekend. Check out our lodging partners page for details. Booking discount
windows vary by hotel property.
