Wow, this is a little confusing for me. So I guess you can not just purchase the B&G plan straight up for the $149.00? How do you sign up for the lottery from My UCLA? Is there a link?

ohh ok. so there's a chance you could win some bball tix in the lottery, under like the blue plan (say 2nd choice), but those are only for certain games, not the whole season?

Do you specify plans A, B, C, when ordering, or if you don't win B&G they just offer you an alternative package?

thanks again!

On a side note to all those coming to the football games this fall. I've been to many a college football game @ "big" schools (mich, asu, wisconsin) and they all have crowds that are 10x as loud/hyped up as we are. Honestly, I see kids sitting in the stands...if you're going to sit during the game don't show up. UCLA has a dead crowd and it sucks because the rose bowl can get LOUD yet (like our basketball games) 80% of the crowd is just there to watch a game. All these other schools go crazy after TD's, you can barely stand up because everybody is jumping all over the place into you, and then students hoist up others for "pushups" depending on the score. That's my one qualm with UCLA sports...great teams, tons of success, yet lame crowds.

^ ditto.
when the most spirited section of the stands is the marching band, you know there's a problem.

Yeah LAX I agree with you too, well the link is up there in one of my posts. If you're wanting to get in the spirit or at least, experience it once, you want to try to get on the first bus out of here for football games. Get to the student gate early so you can sit right next to the band (where I usually am, 3rd-7th row behind most of the Den guys). The rest of the student section usually isn't too great, but I think that's a factor of us being in LA and having plenty of other things to do. And DO camp out for basketball games, probably the best experience here when it comes to sports.

Yeah, you know for basketball games, people just sit down and watch the game. The student section is where the spirit is, and when you stand up, people behind you tell you to sit down ...

As regards to football, I've seen girls fall asleep at close games ... sometimes you can ask a girl what the final score was after the game, and she won't have a clue about it .. she just knew she was there .. what a social event, haha.

Hey guys: can you give me an answer on how to sign up for the lottery? You may have already told us but I'm still confused. I want to do everything I can to try and get my son a season ticket to the games. Thanks!

Seriously...I remember being at cal/ucla, or even nd/ucla and seeing kids sit down, or just stand up and not make any noise. If this is the case I recommend drinking before games...Honestly, these are the biggest college sporting events in the world and half the fun is just going insane. I'm usually the kid jumping up and down/screaming for the entire game and, if somebody calls you out on not yelling, that tends to be me. People at this school need to either 1) Go to games and go NUTS or 2) not go if you can't fulfill "1"

Current students...this question has been asked here already but no answer yet. My daughter tried to buy her season tickets just now. She is an incoming freshman, has submitted her SIR, has a login, but when she goes to MyUCLA there is no obvious link to buy tickets or fill out an application. We both searched around trying various links but no luck. Do you need to be an enrolled student? Meaning already registered for classes? She can't do that until July which could be after the July 15th lottery deadline. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hold on, checking it out. If anything, go ahead and call CTO (Central Ticketing Office) and they can probably help you out.
