How to show tickets to get into a Bengals game

Paycor Stadium is using mobile ticketing only to enable "contact-free entry." PDF tickets were no longer valid for entry as of the 2018 season, part of a league-wide initiative. Attendees with mobile tickets or printed tickets from the box office can enter the stadium.

Visitors can access mobile tickets by downloading the official Bengals app, which is available free to download on the App Store and Google Play. The app allows you to access, transfer or sell tickets. If you do not have a smartphone or a printed ticket from the box office, contact the Bengals Ticket Hotline at 513-621-8383 for assistance.
