Im a first year student at UA next fall and I ordered one ticket package with two games (Ole MIss and Tennessee). I heard that as a student I could get a ticket for every home game, I am just having a confusing time getting those tickets. Can someone explain to me how I can get all the home game tickets as a current student? Especially the Colorado State game since its parents weekend.
THank you
Roll Tide!!
Do these sites help? http://actcard.ua.edu/myticketsfaq/ and http://actcard.ua.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/27/2016/08/GITGposterFinal2016.pdf (note that is for the 2016 season).
You aren’t guaranteed a ticket, especially for popular games, but you might be lucky with the UA ticket lottery system. These will be from students who have tix but aren’t attending that particular game. In fact, if you have a ticket and do not donate it by a certain deadline, and then you don’t attend the game, you will be penalised. There has been much written about this process, if you use the magnifying glass to search for threads (it’s the icon next to the page numbers on this main site). Good luck!
If your expectation is that you’ll sit with your family for the Colorado State game, you’ll need to buy a ticket outside of the student lottery process. If you have a student ticket, you’ll be sitting in the student section. The tickets parents buy in the Family Weekend package are NOT student tickets, nor are most tickets you can buy on the resale market.
If your family will be coming to the Colorado game then you dont want to get a student tix if you’ll want to sit with your family. You’ll have to get your ticket when your family buys theirs so you’ll all be sitting together (if you’ll want that).
Yea, don’t make the mistake of sitting in the student section. Typical student behavior at a major college football game, drinking, broken bottles, some students being escorted off due to drunkiness and throwing up, smoking cigarettes, and those pom poms in your ear. Love the atmospere of a big game at Bama just not in the student section. My son even warned me. lol
Re: Sitting in the Student Section (re: #4). I am a parent and attended the Homecoming game last fall with my son – and sat with him and his friends in the student section (lower bowl). It was a blast!! Now, mind you…the student section is large …and some areas (front rows for example) CAN of course be very crazy…BUT I experienced NO issues like that at all. Yes, TONS of shakers going a lot of the time (which I thought was fun), but the students were well behaved in the area I was in (and believe me, I did a lot of people-watching). Yes, they DO stand for much of the game, but that was perfectly fine with me. It was a great time and one that I will always remember! … ROLL TIDE! … (Side note: In order for a parent to sit in the student section, the student must “upgrade” his or her own ticket and then purchase another student ticket for the parent. Sometimes they can get a second ticket for free if they know of another student who is not attending and is willing to transfer their ticket for free. The student receives “penalty points” for doing an upgrade and, after so many penalty points in a season, they can’t buy tickets for next season. So, a student might be willing to do an upgrade once a season, for a parent or visiting friend, but they probably would not do it twice in a season due to penalty points. Just FYI.)
