<p>I’d pay $42 to watch UM play my town’s little league team.</p>
<p>So long as it includes the Big House experience, with a full crowd in maize and blue, the incredible marching band, singing along to The Victors… I don’t care if any other team shows up.</p>
<p>I mean, sure, I love a good football game. But the Wolverines could go out there and do the Harlem Shake for an hour and I’d be happy.</p>

<p>You are a true Michigan woMAN! ;-)</p>
<p>who told you she is a woman? :p</p>
<p>and when I am an alum I’ll do whatever I can to get a ticket, and I’ll miss the days when they are the price I’m paying now.</p>
<p>But I’m not an alum, I’m a student. I took my crappy to slightly less crappy seats for 3 years with the expectation of goods seats my sr year. </p>
<p>Now, because of a drunk, greek minority, I will have to get to games hours early. And yes, I’ll still do it because I’ve been a Michigan fan way before I got in here (and I’m from Ohio FYI). </p>
<p>But I’m not happy about it. And I am not going to sit by and do nothing. I’ll complain, because its something I feel strongly about. I’m not on campus, but I’ll sign whatever petition I can. </p>
<p>If they wanted to go general admissions they could have done it in a way that didn’t screw over all of the upper classmen</p>
<p>“If they wanted to go general admissions they could have done it in a way that didn’t screw over all of the upper classmen.”</p>
<p>I think that is an excellent point! Perhaps suggest a general phasing in of general admission. Perhaps, start with the freshman class and go from there. The general admission section can grow as the classes combine until all of the student sections are GA.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I think you missed the point. No one [other than a sutdent] is going to buy an Akron ticket from a student because the validation fee will exceed the Stub Hub price but if you are interested in buying a student ticket, I suspect there will be thousands of students who will be interested in selling their Akron ticket to you for $40.</p>
<p>There are legitimate reasons that students are unable to attend individual games such as school breaks, school work and religious observance.</p>
<p>Another big change from my days - we were allowed to bring beer and wine into the games. We would also leave at halftime and re-enter with more. The 4th quarter pass up of the empty wine bottles for eventual recycling was a tradition as much as doing the wave has become. Of course, they also passed up humans. One of my fondest memories was the snowballing of Jim Lampley while he was on the sidelines.</p>
<p>When I started school in 1971 the only sellouts were MSU (usually) and OSU (always). Band Day was a big deal - 14K high school bands players sitting in the NE corner of the stadium. I believe the string of 110K crowds started in fall 1975.</p>
<p>The more I think about this, the more I disagree with the direction of Brandon on this. </p>

<li> Many of us on cc tell top students to think about “fit” when selecting a school. Well a big part of the fit/culture/experience of Umich is big time sports. This is sometimes why a top student may choose Umich over a top LSA or an Ivy. While going to GA is not that huge of a deal, it is going in the wrong direction when trying to make the fantastic college sports experience a great one for our outstanding students. Also, the increase in price is adding insult to injury considering the tuition these great kids and their families are already incurring.</li>
<li> This is the student’s school. I won’t deny saying this is all alumni’s school as well and even the State of Michigan’s school. But, first and foremost, for those four short years a student is at this great school, it is their school. The players are playing 1st for these students.<br>
The players are not jumping into the seat rights/rich guys section after the game are they? The student’s shouldn’t be treated 2nd class in any way. GA is 2nd class - no?</li>
<li> We’ve all been college students. We know a little pregaming is most definitely part of the experience - part of fit - right?<br>
Give me a break on bashing the students any further.</li>
</ol>
<p>So I will be attending Michigan and want to make sure I get season tickets. How/when/where can I do that? Secondly, what is the total cost?</p>
<p>Football $280 Basketball $200 Hockey $215 T-Shirt $15 Application Fee $15</p>
<p>Grand total $725</p>
<p>^$725 for 7+15+20 games = $17 per game. Cheap and subsidized by other payers.</p>
<p>So where and when do I buy all of this?</p>
<p>You’ll soon get a notification about buying tickets. I believe an email. You certainly don’t need to buy all three sports (you probably won’t have time for that many games. )</p>
<p>Great article on the whole situation. </p>

<p>I seem to be missing something in this entire conversation. I had student tickets last year, and usually went with a group of people. Once I went alone to pass the time for the last quarter of the a game…the Iowa game I think.</p>
<p>-The student sections were only full during the Michigan State game and Northwestern game. You could practically choose whatever seat you wanted in most in the rest of the games, and you could get relatively close to the field too.</p>
<p>-Even in the Michigan State games and Northwestern games, most people didn’t seem to be sitting in their assigned seats. Students stood with their friends, and others just seemed to move over to make room.</p>
<p>I’m not sure what the issue is about getting rid of assigned seats, when this assigned seat policy just seemed to be ignored.</p>
<p>The point is you aren’t going to move up to the rows that seniors are generally “promised”. You can generally move around the other rows, but if you are in my seat and I show up on time then you are moving.</p>
