Social Scene

<p>For all sports other than men’s basketball and football tickets are free; just show your ID (or not even that for some sports) and get in. Basketball and football do the season ticket/lottery system. You can buy a season ticket for around $70 for football and that’ll get you into every game. You CAN NOT buy a season ticket if you are a freshman. There is a limited number of season tickets, but if you get on the website to buy yours the day they go on sale you’ll be fine.</p>

<p>For everybody else there’s the lottery. It works pretty much the same in basketball and football. You enter your name into it online, then they randomly select who gets a ticket and who doesn’t. I’d say you’re usually looking at hitting the lottery around 2/3rds of the time, but if you’re unlucky it’s possible not to hit a single one. If you do hit it you print off a little slip and bring it to the box office on the designated day and pick up your ticket. If you want to sit with people just bring their slips too and you’ll be next to eachother. Tickets through the lottery are free.</p>

<p>The other way to get a ticket is to scalp it. This is supposedly illegal and if you get caught they will supposedly take away your lottery privileges. There are scalpers on facebook and in front of the stadium, and ticket prices range widely based on the game. For a crappy game you can get one around $25 and for a really good game you’re looking at $75.</p>

<p>Every game is a sellout. You haven’t been able to buy a football ticket at the box office on gameday in a long time, the only possible exceptions being when the visiting team returns a lot of tickets, and even then they go very quickly.</p>
