How to make a reservation at the state farm stadium
Executive summary
Making a reservation at State Farm Stadium can mean different things—buying single-event tickets, reserving premium club or suite space, booking parking, or arranging group/ADA accommodations—and each path uses different channels: the Stadium’s Box Office and events page, Ticketmaster and authorized resale partners, Club Service Representatives for premium areas, and third‑party parking vendors for guaranteed lots [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]. This guide lays out the step‑by‑step options, who to contact for what, and tradeoffs between official and third‑party routes so decisions match the kind of reservation needed [2] [3] [4] [6].
1. Start at the official events and ticketing hub for single‑ticket reservations
For standard single‑event tickets, the authoritative starting point is the State Farm Stadium Events & Tickets page or the Stadium Ticket Office, which list upcoming events and serve as the official box office channels for buying tickets and assisting with ADA seating requests [1] [2]. Many stadium events also sell through Ticketmaster — the stadium’s Ticketmaster venue page is a primary online vendor for purchasing mobile or printed tickets [3]. If event tickets are sold out, authorized resale platforms like SeatGeek, Vivid Seats, TicketSmarter, and others offer secondary‑market tickets but bring variable fees and differing guarantees [7] [8] [9].
2. Reserve premium club seating or member lounges via Club Service Representatives
Reserving Club Level spaces such as the Gila River Club, Bubble Lounge or 1898 Club requires contacting a Club Service Representative as directed on the Arizona Cardinals premium seating pages; these premium reservations include member benefits like early entry and exclusive access and are handled through the club’s interest forms and service reps rather than general ticket portals [4]. Premium reservations often carry different opening times, guest policies, and food/beverage packages, so the club liaison will quote pricing and availability and manage any seating companions or playoff rights tied to season membership [4].
3. Book suites and luxury spaces through brokers or the stadium’s premium channels
Suites and fully catered premium experiences can be reserved either directly through State Farm Stadium’s suite sales or via third‑party brokers such as SuiteHop, which facilitate suite selection, catering add‑ons, and optional parking passes [6]. Brokers can simplify group planning and sometimes bundle parking, but buyers should verify what the suite price includes—many suites do not automatically include parking and require separate parking pass purchases [6].
4. Reserve parking in advance to guarantee a spot and simplify arrival
Event parking around State Farm Stadium can be pre‑booked through the stadium’s parking permits where offered or through third‑party vendors like SpotHero and ParkingJuJu; SpotHero provides prepaid reservations backed by its guarantee and ParkingAccess warns that on‑site prices rise without reservations and stadium lots often do not accept cash [5] [6] [10]. For rideshare users, the stadium’s preferred drop‑off/pick‑up location is the Black Lot south of the stadium, and Waze listings like “Red Lot - State Farm Stadium” can help guide drivers to specific preferred entries [11].
5. Group sales, accessible seating, and special accommodations require direct contact
Groups, ADA seating needs, companion seats, and other special accommodations are explicitly managed by the Ticket Office or Box Office staff who can hold blocks and assign accessible seats with companions as described on the stadium ticket office resources [2]. The Box Office also assists on event day for certain ticketing issues, but online purchase via Ticketmaster remains the primary self‑service option for many patrons [2] [3].
6. Know the tradeoffs: official channels versus resellers and brokers
Buying via the stadium or Ticketmaster gives official ticketing support and venue policies (clear bag, lap pass rules, entry procedures) while resale marketplaces and brokers may offer availability when sold out but add fees and require due diligence about guarantees and seat locations [12] [7] [8]. For premium experiences, Club Service Representatives and suite brokers provide personalized service and extras; for parking and arrival logistics, third‑party parking apps give a guaranteed spot and often door‑to‑gate maps that the stadium’s general guidance supplements [4] [5] [11].
7. Limits of reporting and a practical checklist
The sources cover ticketing channels, premium reservation contacts, parking vendors, and day‑of policies but do not provide a single unified “one‑click” reservation workflow; therefore the practical approach is to identify the reservation type (general ticket, club/suite, parking, group/ADA), use the corresponding contact (Events page/Box Office, Club Service Rep, suite broker, SpotHero/ParkingJuJu), confirm inclusions like parking or catering, and review stadium entry and family policies before arrival [1] [2] [4] [6] [5] [12].
