<p>That’s when the real anxiety begins. With freshmen tickets being split into 2 packages I think it pretty much assures all freshmen of getting a package (although maybe not the one they wanted). </p>

<p>But with returning students there will be some left out in the cold simply because of availability versus demand. Knowing the process and logging in right on time will be crucial if one wants tickets.</p>

<p>I’m not feeling too confident in getting tickets this years since I have a feeling exactly 12 have allocated to grad students. I’ve gotten tickets every years I’ve been here, so I won’t feel bad if I don’t get them this year, though.</p>

4

<p>Did you run the numbers and come up with 12?</p>

<p>I’m not even sure if by splitting the frosh packages that every frosh can get a tix set.</p>

5

<p>lol…I may have been slightly exaggerating. :)</p>

6

<p>From the way I read things, each classification will be getting the same percentage of tickets. Ticket allotment is based off of how many in each classification filled out the form showing interest. </p>

<p>So I’d say your chances should be the same as a Soph, JR, or SR.</p>

<p>Good Luck!!</p>

<p>Hey, since Dr. Witt’s report says that there’s been a 25% rise in grad enrollment, then that means more spots, right?</p>

8

<p>More spots, but the percentage will remain the same as the other classifications relative to how many of those filled out the interest form.</p>

9

<p>True…but many grad students aren’t interested in football games, so that can mean a better chance for students like feeno.</p>

<p>From my understanding, the ticket packages will be allotted to the different classes to reflect the distribution of the ticket interest forms returned. Thus, if 40% of the interest forms submitted were from rising sophomores, 40% of tickets will be allotted to the day sophomores can buy tickets. Even if you assumed that all classes submitted interest form at the same percentage, grad students make up the smallest portion of the student body (though its bigger than I would have guessed).</p>

<p>Oh, not so fast! I can tell you first-hand that grad students aren’t immune to football fever. :)</p>

<p>True but each student will have the same percentage chance to get a ticket as every other student.</p>

<p>Just using these figures as an example</p>

<p>15,000 student football tickets
20,000 students submitted interest forms for buying tickets as follows</p>

<p>0 - 30 hours - 2,000 forms submitted = 10% (10% of 15,000 = 1,500 tickets) which would mean each student in this group has a 75% chance of getting a ticket.</p>

<p>31 - 60 hours - 6,000 forms submitted = 30% (30% of 15,000 = 4,500 tickets to this group) again each student has a 75% chance</p>

<p>61 - 90 hours - 5,000 forms submitted = 25% (25% of 15,000 = 3,750 tickets to this group) 75% chance</p>

<p>91 - 120 hours - 4,000 forms submitted = 20% (20% of 15,000 = 3,000 tickets) 75% chance</p>

<p>grad students - 3,000 forms submitted = 15% (15% of 15,000 = 2,250 tickets) 75% chance</p>

<p>So even though one group may receive more tickets than another group it doesn’t change the percentages. Each student regardless of classification will have the same percent chance of buying a ticket as any other student.</p>

<p>Oh wow! Your numbers looks fine to me. I guess I should have crunched the numbers on paper as well.</p>

13

<p>I wonder why tickets sales are starting at 7 am instead of 8.</p>

14

<p>^^^That’s a good question. It may be because less students are working at 7am than 8am, but either way, I’m getting up early, because 7am CDT is 5am PDT.</p>

15

<p>Hey, </p>

<p>I don’t understand how student guest tickets work. Can anyone explain?</p>

16

<p>You can convert a student ticket to a general admission ticket by paying the difference between the student ticket price ($5) and the general admission ticket price (depends on the game).</p>
