This program recognizes the valuable contributions of Albemarle County residents ages 60 and older and invites them to attend school-sponsored events, such as athletic competitions, drama performances, and music concerts, free of charge.

What a Gold Card Provides

Gold Card holders receive free general admission to:

  • Regular-season, school-sponsored athletic events
  • Drama performances
  • Music concerts

Note: Gold Cards apply to regular-season ACPS events. Championship or postseason events governed by the Virginia High School League (VHSL) or other organizations may have separate admission requirements.

Obtaining a Gold Card

Eligible residents may visit the office of any ACPS school to receive a Gold Card. School staff will:

  • Ask the resident to show a government-issued photo ID.
  • Verify Albemarle County residency using the address on the ID.
  • Verify that the individual is 60 years of age or older.
  • Provide a Gold Card if both eligibility requirements are met.

Using a Gold Card

  • Present the Gold Card at the entry point of any ACPS school-sponsored event that charges admission.
  • The cardholder will be admitted free of charge.
