Mobile Permit
Patrons that purchase advanced parking and receive a mobile permit should have their individual mobile permit added to their mobile wallet (Apple Wallet for iPhones; Google Pay for Androids) in advance of arriving to campus. Having the mobile parking permit added to the mobile wallet eliminates the need for Wi-Fi in a location of high cell phone usage to access the mobile parking permit via the Badgers App or email. Patrons that use the ALL-IN-1 pass will automatically have the next game loaded to their mobile wallet after the prior game has concluded. Upon approaching the lot attendant, patrons are asked to please stop so that the lot attendant may briefly validate their mobile permit. The lot attendant will provide a roll ticket that is to be placed in a visible location on the dashboard of the vehicle during the duration of the time parking. At garages or ramps, the roll ticket may be used to scan for entry or exiting the lot.

Physical Permit
Patrons that purchase advanced parking and receive a physical permit must have their individual event hangtag displayed on their rear-view mirror upon entering the lot. Upon approaching the lot attendant, patrons need to stop so the lot attendant may validate their event hangtag.
In the event that the lot attendant is not present at arrival and the gate arm is down, follow these instructions to scan your physical permit:
- Locate the barcode on the front of your pass.
- Locate the barcode reader below and to the left of the touchscreen.
- To scan the barcode to raise the gate, press the barcode firmly against the glass until you hear a beep.
- This process may take a few seconds as the reader must take a picture of the bar code and send it to the servers for proper identification.
- If the gate does not open or you do not hear a beep after a few seconds, please press the silver “HELP” button on the intercom just to the left of the touch screen.

These same steps can be followed if, upon exiting the lot, the gate arm is down and does not automatically raise upon your approach.
