Season Tickets

<p>I am an incoming freshman at Umich class of 2016. I am from out of state and have never been to a game. I am very excited about them but feel it is likely I will not be able to make it to all of them due to other commitments. If I bought season tickets could I sell tickets to a particular game? When buying season tickets do you get a card with your picture on it, tickets to each game, or something else? If this is possible it would surely finalize my decision about buying tickets. They seem expensive and I simply can't justify the cost if I am going to miss a couple of the games.</p>

<p>Any other information would be greatly appreciated: such as how the student section works or just personal experience with the football games and tickets. Thanks in advance for any responses.</p>

<p>You just get the tickets, you can only sell to other students since their student tickets and are sold at a discounted price. If you want you can have them validated if you intend to sell to someone else then they would have to pay the difference. Other than that only students can buy single tickets from you since your MCard is needed to enter with a student ticket</p>

<p>When I was a student I never missed a game.</p>

<p>The student tickets have seat numbers printed on them but freshman typically sit anywhere in the section so it becomes like general admission. I would not worry about setting up a group because you will probably want to sit with friends from the dorm whom you have not met yet.</p>

<p>You can sell the tickets. People advertise them on facebook or you can sell them to one of the scalpers on the Union steps or to someone looking to buy them. The only question is how much you will get for the ticket. For some games the tickets will sell at a premium, others you will recover face value and other you’ll eat. As UOFMTRANSFER mentions, a non-student must validate the ticket by paying the difference between the student ticket price and face value for public tickets. This year there are more games where you would be lucky to recover the face value of the ticket because ND, Ohio and Nebraska are on the road and Penn St and Wisconsin are off the schedule.</p>

<p>The ticket price may seem expensive but it is a big social event on campus. The town basically shuts down for the game and opens up afterwards. I would definitely recommend buying them. If not, this year you will definitely be able to pick up tickets to most of the games from people selling them but it will be less convenient - MSU is the only game likely to carry a premium. In 2013 I would not pass up on buying the tickets.</p>

<p>thank you very much for the advise. I have come to a conclusion and will certainly buy season tickets for football.</p>
