<p>Okay, I'll admit that one of the top factors attracting me to Duke is basketball. However, I don't quite understand how Krzyzewskiville works. Can somebody explain this to me? Also, can I have a friend who doesn't go to Duke come camp with me as well?</p>
<p>This is the official site - it should explain things in good detail: <a href="http://dsg.duke.edu/kville.html%5B/url%5D">http://dsg.duke.edu/kville.html</a></p>
<p>As for someone who doesn't go to duke? unlikely - you register your tent with each member's Duke ID....and all tent checks (necessary to retain a place in line) require the tenter to present his/her Duke ID.</p>
<p>Is it easy to use a fake ID?</p>
<p>It's pretty much impossible for someone to tent in K-Ville who isn't a Duke student. And by pretty much, I mean it's impossible. You need a DUKE ID...not just any ID. You register with your Duke Unique ID number, located on the back of the card. You have to present your ID at every tent check, when you get your wristbands, going into the games, etc. The only fathomable way I could imagine you doing that is if you got a friend who was not tenting to register as a member of your tent with his/her ID and hope that your friend could pass for the Duke student during an ID check...but then you'd either have to risk that working every time, or you'd have to only risk that on the night of the UNC game and have your friend not take any shifts...which meeans you would effectively be operating with a tent of at most 11 people, and as a former tenter, I know that I would NOT be happy with that. You want the max. 12 people in your tent taking shifts. Trust me.</p>
<p>So yeah...I'd say it's a no for non-Dukies tenting. Besides, people on this campus were angry enough when Robertson scholars (technically Duke students for the semester, but from UNC) tented, and there was a HUGEEEE uproar when someone tried to sell his tenting spot online. This stuff is taken really, really seriously. If anyone found out that a non-Dukie was getting a spot in the student section for the UNC game, you and your friend would pretty much be the targets of a LOT of hate. A LOT.</p>
<p>Clarification - your friend can definitely come stay with you in the tent. It is actually pretty fun out there on weekends. I had people visit me while I was tenting, and they'd stay in the tent. That's not a problem. He/She just can't legitimately tent with you for a spot at the game. But there'd be nothing wrong with your friend visiting you at school and hanging out in the tent for a while.</p>
<p>Last year one of my tentmate's brothers successfully got into the UNC game. At first we were really against it because it meant the other 11 of us would have to pull extra shifts . . . but the guy's brother was there for five days prior to the game, so he took extra shifts in those days. It worked out fine and he got in.</p>
<p>Line monitors do not look at your face when they are doing tent checks and you show them your Duke card. It's really not that hard to sneak someone into a regular game or even the UNC game. I wouldn't try it the first year because it would help to have gone through tenting once to help you figure out how to get someone else in as well.</p>
<p>Also, I don't think there would really be a way for anyone to find out that someone in your tent didn't belong there. K-ville is huge, and people are in and out all the time and often drinking at night and just really wouldn't notice. A couple of our friends in other tents knew he was there . . . they didn't really care.</p>
<p>K-ville is taken really, really seriously by certain people . . . maybe by blue tenters and by freshmen who have an extreme reverence for the rules and the system. By the time you get to white tenting, and by the time you are a junior or senior, people don't really care as much about adhering to the rules. . . in fact, most juniors and seniors I know think that line monitors and their strict rules are really lame and most of our friends kind of viewed getting my friend's brother in as kind of a funny way to stick it to the uptight line monitors and the silly, complicated rules.</p>
<p>That's just my opinion though! I know that the rules are there for a reason . . . they just get a little ridiculous sometimes. Anyway, if we could do it, you could probably do it too . . . it would just take a lot of planning and a little luck.</p>
<p>Wow, I didn't realize it was so difficult. Could a person buy Duke tickets and then just go to the student section? If so, how much are tickets? Are they easily attainable?
Also, how strict is Duke about alcohol in k-ville. Do they even care at all?
Wow, this all sounds so fun.</p>
<p>Tickets can be expensive depending on the game. Not sure about getting into the student section once you have one. </p>
<p>strict? alcohol? k-ville? No, they don't care at all. How else are you supposed to stay warm? :P</p>
<p>Drinking games like beer pong are officially against the rules, but I saw people out there playing this year. </p>
<p>It is fun!!!</p>
<p>Maguo, my understanding is that purchasing a ticket requires that you be a member of the Iron Dukes club, which requires an annual contribution of $10,000.</p>
<p>I've never once heard of a student purchasing a ticket.</p>
<p>My parents went to the Davidson game for about 150 each. There are definitely tickets available for sale or from season ticket holders who don't feel like going to a certain game. You should call the ticket office just to find out the policy - it's kind of a slow time in the season so they would probably take a few minutes to explain to you how ticketing works for games. If you pick a preseason game it might be feasible, but if you're going to try to get a friend into a preseason game, you should just grab a friend's dukecard and have him use that.</p>
<p>Are you allowed to have coed tents?</p>
<p>yep...of course! Everyone I know had guys and girls in their tents.</p>
<p>yep. There aren't any restrictions on mixing genders, classes (you can have jrs and srs for example)</p>
<p>Are the tents provided, or do we have to have our own?</p>
<p>you have to have your own. - and you don't just have to stick to one. Your "tent" can really be two tents, that way things aren't so crowded trying to fit 8 or 12 people into one tent (during blue tenting and personal checks)</p>
<p>Also, how do tickets for other sports such as women's bball, lax, and football work?</p>
