Experience a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Vatican City for a historic basketball double header!

On November 1, 2026, the University of Notre Dame and Villanova University will meet in Rome for a unique celebration of both institutions' shared heritage.

This package includes four tickets to the jointly hosted men's and women's basketball double header, along with special programming bringing together academics, athletics, and spirituality. Guests will also have the optional opportunity to attend Mass with the Pope.

A truly unforgettable combination of culture, tradition, and championship basketball - set against the backdrop of the Vatican.

New details:

Your unforgettable weekend begins Friday evening with a welcome reception featuring the basketball teams.

On Saturday morning, you and your guests will attend a private Papal Audience in the Pope's auditorium, followed later that morning by Mass at St. Peter's Basilica celebrated by the Archbishop of Philadelphia.

And here is what makes this opportunity especially exciting: the game is completely SOLD OUT, and these tickets originally retailed for $5,000 each. Tonight's winning bidder will take home all FOUR tickets-an extraordinary $20,000 ticket value-to an event that can no longer be purchased!
