<p>That’s nuts, but if it’s the all sports package (as in it covers all games) it might actually be comparable to our prices if you add up the LASP and then the season tickets for football, basketball and baseball you get on top of the LASP for reserved seats.</p>
<p>Well, it’s only $199.50 for football only. And it’s a seniority draw for everything. -_- So with the LASP, do you have to buy each separately to have reserved seats for football, basketball, and baseball? Meaning it’s $80, plus $70 + $70 + $70?</p>
<p>Yes, but I’m not sure how much the basketball and baseball ones run, they might be cheaper. Otherwise, it’s the same drawing system.</p>
<p>Almost every D-1 athletics team charges in some way or form. For UT, you have to buy tickets, which is actually better than most schools where the games are “free” since most university athletic departments are subsidized by the university in some way, so while you may not need to pay for a ticket, you’re still paying to watch the games. At least at UT, if you don’t want to watch the games you don’t have to pay. </p>
<p>Also, when you buy season tickets your seats are determined by your grade. Seniors get the best seats, then juniors, etc. Note, those designations are based on credit hours, not semesters completed. So if you claim alot of AP credit or test out of classes you can hypothetically come in as a sophomore (and thus, better seats)</p>
<p>Also, if you join a seating group, your seating group is placed based on the lowest member. So, if you have a group with 10 friends, 9 of which are sophomores and 1 of which is a freshman, your whole group will be sitting in the freshman section. This is especially not fun when you’re on the east side upper deck during day games. It gets hot. So, choose your group wisely if you choose to form one.</p>
<p>Lastly, you typically print your tickets off at home. These print-outs have a barcode on them that can only be scanned once to be admitted into the stadium. That doesn’t mean you can’t print out multiple copies. If you have a friend who has better seats, have them print out 10 copies, then once everyone is in to the stadium with their own ticket, use those copies to get into the better section. Unless that section is absolutely packed there shouldn’t be a problem.</p>
<p>Well thats just home games… I bought my OU ticket and season tickets today.</p>
<p>Season = 70
OU = 110
LASP = 80</p>
<p>Texas Fight.</p>
<p>If I don’t join a group when buying tickets, will I have to sit next to strangers at every game? What if a bunch of my friends decided to go to one of the games? Haha… I don’t get why there are assigned seats? Or… can soemone tell me otherwise?</p>
<p>I know Colorado doesn’t charge for tickets. But then again, they are Colorado… My friends have told me that Arkansas charges $1 a ticket, but they aren’t the quality of Texas either. I really can’t decide if I want to buy the tickets. I want to go to games, but $480 is a lot of money for that. Does anybody know how much you generally can get for the A&M ticket? That could possibly balance out the price a bit.</p>
<p>From what I’ve heard, selling your OU and A&M tickets basically pays for the season itself, or at the very least get pretty close.</p>
<p>Maybe it is worth it then.</p>
<p>Wait, can we buy OU tickets now? I thought that was a complicated draw system later in the semester.</p>
<p>I’ve got the same question as thaisteak. There’s plenty of information about the UT ticket process in the archives, but not much about how the groups work.</p>
<p>What happens if you don’t join a group? I don’t have orientation until next week, and currently only know a few people at UT. If I signed up for my LASP and season tickets right now (and didn’t join a group), would I be able to sit with people that I meet later in the year? Or would I be stuck sitting by strangers every game?</p>
<p>If someone could give a more detailed explaination of how the groups work, that’d be great.</p>
<p>Yes i’m also interested in thaisteak’s question. I’m interested in buying the LASP base package, but i’d like to sit with my own friends and occassionally my brother who attends UTSA.</p>
<p>You have an assigned seat. You will get it near random people/other groups if you don’t pick a group. People kinda sorta do move around though, inside the student sections in the lower deck. If you are put in the upper deck (sections 1xx) you can move about freely in the non-crowded areas. The seats are just long bleacher rows (as is most of the student lower deck too) and people never really fit in their sits exactly, people sit closer or farther together. They don’t check your tickets as accurately in the upper deck.</p>
<p>If you just have LASP and not season tickets, you can go together to the ticket draw/line on Monday morning (week of the game, or the week before for big games) and get tickets together. These will be horrible seats in the upper deck and you’ll have to go at like 6am on a monday for popular game. Season tickets are the way to go.</p>
<p>Y2K, thanks for the response.</p>
<p>I’m going to get season tickets. Does signing up sooner rather than later give you better seats? If not, I’d prefer to wait until I can get a group together. If so, I’ll just sign up now to guarantee myself a good seat.</p>
<p>Just sign up by the priority date, and it’s all the same. You could sign up yesterday or the day before that date (I think it’s July 23rd?) and it would be all the same. Just don’t sign up later than that.</p>
<p>Thanks for the helpful info, Why Two Kay!</p>
<p>So now I’m wondering if it’s worth it to have a good seat and no group or bad seats with a group of friends. I barely know anyone too. :/</p>
<p>Honestly, I think that would depend on why you go to the games. If you love football and truly pay attention to the game, being with a bunch of friends in crappier seats might irritate you, especially if they’re rowdy. If you go for the camaraderie and don’t care if you can’t see the game too well (there’s always the godzillatron for replays) then being with a group might be more important to you. </p>
<p>Something to think about is you might make friends with whomever has seats near yours - you’re never really alone at DKR unless you’re fans of the visiting team. lol</p>
<p>If each ticket is specifically issued to a student and they need to verify their identity with their UT ID at the gate, how is it possible to sell your season tickets?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>^ You can transfer an individual game’s ticket to another person online. I believe there is a nominal charge for this service.</p>
<p>LASP draw (wait in line) tickets can be used for any student, as they don’t have any names on them. The only thing they are checking with ID’s is that you are a student so you are allowed to use student-priced tickets. And even then they only sometimes check. There are like 1000 people walking through every gate at a certain time, they can’t be too precise.</p>
<p>Well I do really love football. Just going to get the season tickets without the group then. Deadline’s in two days. D:</p>
