| Student Ticketing- Basketball
I don't know when the University was planning on telling us we have to now register to go to basketball games, but...
For your information: Big Orange Tix | About Student Basketball Tickets |

| Yeah I noticed this today too. At first glance I thought it meant we would be paying for them. | |

| Ah, the days when you had to camp out and run faster than everyone else to get a good seat. | |

| I registered for the 4 they let me. I don't think you get penalized for not going, because there aren't loyalty points. I'm pretty sure this is their way of being able to sell the unused student seats. | |

Hadn't thought of that. Makes perfect sense, seemed to be quite a few empty spots in the student section last season. | |

| Florida students register like this for basketball as well. But, I don't think they sell unused spots. Students who don't register can show up at the O'Dome and get in if space is available. At tipoff, they can take the spot of someone who registered but hasn't shown up. | |

| I got my tickets for the first four games today. Once you activate your card, I assume you are guaranteed to get in the game, just not where you sit. | |

Two years ago before I was a student here, I would just act like I knew what I was doing and go down there. Like I said though, big games will be much harder to get seats in there. | |
