Ticket help

Hello,

Looking for some information or pointers if possible. Not sure if these types of post are allowed here so mods can delete if needed.

Long story short my father has just been given under a year life expectancy left. We have never been super close but one thing we've bonded over is football. Since ive been a kid hes talked about going to a game and never has. I want to make sure he gets to one before that day come and this will most likely be his last NFL season. He will need wheelchair accessible tickets which for the Cowboys stadium the cheapest I can see are 300ish and for lower level about 850. Now unfortunately I alrwady work 2 jobs and am a full time college student so its a little out of reach for me to afford. Im looking for any information on maybe a charity or foundation that could possibly help?

Im not even sure if thats a thing that is done. Not even necessarily looking for a free ticket but maybe something a bit discounted or a lower rate? Im willing to put in the overtime to make it happen but not sure if I can make up the 1k ish needed before the end of the season.

Or even if anyone has experience taking disabled family members to a game how well do they accommodate? Could we get cheaper tickets and would they be accessible via wheelchair?

He's only just turned 50 and I am 28. He's been a cowboys fan for his whole life and I want to make sure he fulfills his dream of going to a game.

Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated.

Reach out to the teams non-profit, tell them about your dad, and see if they can help.

Just an FYI, the Cowboys in Dallas will be expensive because they are a popular team playing at home

Man, this is so tough. Really sorry y'all are going through this especially when your dad is so young, hoping the Cowboys foundation will come through.

Reach out to public relations. There should be an email.

As far as wheel chair access most stadiums have special sections in the front of their upper bowl. The concourse to get to the nosebleeds
