<p>My dd wants to get her order in for football tickets. Can anyone tell me if block I, the student section, has assigned or general seating. Thanks!</p>
<p>based on seeing it fill up at games before, I’d say it’s general seating. I’m also pretty sure that you have to join Illini Pride to be able to get those tickets, so make sure to tell her to do that when she gets to campus.</p>
<p>And they go quickly, so, if that what she’d like, don’t wait. Call the Athletics Dept and see what you can do now.</p>
<p>We bought the Block I tickets for my D last year at summer registration and were fine. It is open general seating and students are guaranteed a seat but typically they get there VERY early at each game to get the best seat (seats are in the end zones). My reshman D did Block I tickets this year but does not plan to do it again this next year (too many conflicts with sorority events). Though my incoming freshman will be getting them. </p>
<p>They’re a good deal and a lot less hassle for the students. My D was able to sell tickets for any of the games that she coudn’t attend (though that was at the beginning of the season when the Illini were winning!). I’d suggest to make sure your student has at least one friend who is also interested in buying the tickets ahead of time:)</p>
