<p>Does Cal have that card where you pay a couple hundred dollars and you get to go to every home game for ever sport (excluding big games)?</p>
<p>hell if you’re a freshman, you pay like a hundred bucks and you get to go to every home game including the big ones for free.</p>
<p>and most sports are free to attend except for football and men’s basketball (unless it’s the NCAA tournament post-season, then they’ll charge you)</p>
<p>how much are men basketball/football games usually?</p>
<p>Hey everyone,</p>
<p>Student Football tickets are around $85 for the whole season and men’s basketball is around $75, for every home game. There will be a freshman ticket on sale date that I presume will be e-mailed or mailed out to students that have SIRd. Other than that, all sports are free for students :)</p>

<p>No, you’re thinking of UCLA. They do that because no one buys their football tickets, and everyone wants to buy their basketball tickets, so they charge a premium rate for an all-inclusive sports package. Pretty lame. </p>
<p>At Cal, every sport is free to Cal students with the exception of Men’s Basketball and Football. You must purchase the season tickets for each of these two sports separately. </p>
<p>The season ticket prices for football and basketball range according to the number of home games and quality of opponents, so it will almost always fall between $75-100. (Football is $84.00 this season for returning students.)</p>
<p>we don’t even have any fun opponents to watch this year except usc probably. nothing as exciting as stanford and kinda la/oregon sadly…</p>

<p>UCLA has the exact same setup as Cal then. All the sports are free except basketball and football.</p>

<p>No they don’t. Yes, it’s been marketed and packaged differently as of late, but the same theory still goes: everybody wants basketball and nobody wants football.</p>
<p>If you apply for basketball and you don’t get it, you automatically get the football-only season tickets unless you request otherwise. Their tickets office doesn’t respect the intelligence of the student body, and hopes the disappointed basketball fan gets tricked into buying tickets for football instead. For the lighter packages that don’t include both full season tickets for football and basketball, it always includes all football games (to inflate attendance figures) and just some of the better non- and in-conference opponents (because outside the Den, UCLA basketball fans are full blown bandwagoners).</p>
<p>At Cal, the opposite is true. There is limited availability (usually dries up before school starts in mid-August) of freshmen free tickets for football. These tickets are only for the “lesser” games, however, and you must purchase the big games. (What a concept, right? Make people pay for games that are in higher demand!) Usually the first basketball game of the season is a tune-up against a non-conference foe, and that game is free. But the rest of the season isn’t. You cannot buy single game tickets into the student section at Cal, and you cannot buy guest tickets for friends. (And bring friends from other institutions? Where’s the self-respect, UCLA. This is OUR student section!) Basketball season ticket holders sit on the Bench, courtside seating. A short supply of single game tickets are usually available for students, but they stick you at the back of the basket or elsewhere higher up into the rafters so that everyone knows you’re the johnny-come-lately who only roots when the team’s doing well, or when there’s the big game. Truth is, the football and basketball policies at Cal only works when there is high demand for the best seats and when there’s good attendance season long. Or rather, that is why it doesn’t work at UCLA.</p>
<p>So basically, when we win, the system at Cal works.</p>
<p>USC isn’t the only marquee game; Maryland should be good as well.</p>
