<p>I might be attending a college out-of-state that has a pretty good football program. I was wondering when do student season tickets normally become available for purchase? I was hoping to get to know some people in my dorm and then get tickets with them. If that doesn't happen, are typical games chill? Like will I be fine just sitting next to a whole group of people I don't even know?</p>
<p>varies from school to school. At my alma mater, tickets go on sale in April. Every so often, when the home slate of games is really good (and people who wouldn't normally buy do in order to sell) they'll sell out before freshmen get a chance to buy. </p>
<p>Realize that at some schools, student seating is general admission, so you'll get to sit with who you want regardless. And even at my school where it wasn't GA (though they're changing to GA this year), there was a lot of movement anyways.</p>
<p>Nebbie isn't GA? My school played at UNL this year and when I was setting up stuff on the sidelines the students just kinda trickled in. I wondered why there wasn't any big rush for seats or kids laying across benches to save spots, now I know! </p>
<p>But yea...what BRM said. A lot of schools are GA so you can sit wherever. At my school football season tickets went on sale to current students last month and incoming freshmen can order their tickets at orientation in June or in the mail. It's GA here and something like 7500 student tickets are available (20,000+ undergrads). They sold out this past year by the end of July but students could buy tickets for the hillsides for $20 more and still get into the student section if they wanted/got there early enough.</p>
<p>At my school, we just have to show our student ID for football games. On one side of the field they have reserved seating and on the other it's general admission. All of the students can sit in the general admission section. And since we only came close to selling out once, we pretty much sat whereever we wanted including over in the reserved seating.</p>
<p>at my school, they go on sale in june according to class (senior-->incoming freshman) sometimes they sell out before inc. freshman can get them, but I didn't have a problem getting them for my freshman year. Here, you don't get tickets for a specific area inside the student section, you just buy them and then it's basically free-for-all of who gets in line earliest to get the best seats and runs to them the fastest. If your school is like that, you can go and sit with whoever you like wherever you like within the student section.</p>
<p>You'll be fine sitting with people you don't know. If you all have season tickets (that's assuming it's not GA or someone isn't selling theirs) you might get to know each other. Even if you don't, you can bond through school spirit and all that :) Anyway, it's not like football games are the best environment to talk - usually way too noisy.</p>
<p>A word of advice, once you find out when the tickets go on sale (I bet you'll get an e-mail) try and get them ASAP and don't wait around. I guess that's common sense, but some of my friends tried to buy their tickets a day or two after their window had opened and they were shut out. Though at my school football is a religion, so it really depends.</p>
