<p>When I went to Michigan a thousand years ago, dorms put their tickets together in blocks so students could sit with their friends from their dorm (whom they had not even met when they bought their tickets). How does it work now? Do the students all sit in their specific ticket locations assuming they don't form their own group before buying tickets?</p>
<p>You can find details on the new policy here: <a href=“http://www.mgoblue.com/tickets/students-fbl.html”>http://www.mgoblue.com/tickets/students-fbl.html</a></p>
<p>They changed to general admission a few years ago, and starting this fall, are changing to a new system as GA was generally despised. </p>
<p>Thanks, that’s helpful. I was generally aware of the reserved seats but was wondering whether students do stick to their reserved seats or move around and sit with friends. Seems like they stick to their reserved seats.</p>
<p>Nobody sticks to the reserve seats but usually people stay in the general area of their ticket. Obviously GA was different last year but now they’re moving back to reserved.</p>
<p>My daughter doesn’t know anyone going to UM. What do you recommend for someone like her who won’t have a circle of friends prior to purchasing seats? Is it even worth buying season tickets?</p>
<p>She should definitely buy football tickets. The games are a fabulous experience even for non-sports fans. I am a female non-sports fan who went to Michigan a long time ago and Michigan football is still an important part of my life. My son will be a freshman. If students just sit in the “general area” of their reserved sits, that’s even better because friends can sits together. But you can also meet new friends by your reserved seats. Get the tickets!</p>
<p>I’d buy them if I were her. She’ll have to sit up top with other incoming students and it’ll probably be pretty easy to bounce around to sit with people she meets once school starts up. Plus she can earn points to get better seats in 2015.</p>
