TICKET REGISTRATION DATES FOR ALL UGA STUDENTS

Home Season Ticket Registration Begins: Wednesday, August 20, at Noon
Home Season Ticket Registration Ends: Thursday, August 21, at Noon

This year, all UGA students will register for season tickets online during the time period allotted above. Once all season ticket requests have been made, the Athletic Association Ticket Office will sort requests based on UGA credit hours earned. Transfer hours and AP credits earned from other institutions will not be factored in for UGA football tickets. Study abroad credits will only be factored in if they are earned through a UGA.

Extremely Important:
The student ticket registration period for students will end promptly at 12pm (noon) on Thursday, August 21, 2008. Students eligible to register during this time period will NOT have a second chance to place an order for football tickets once this deadline has expired.

If the season ticket demand by students is likely to exceed the number of full season packages available once the registration period has expired, there is a possibility that season packages may be split in order to accommodate as many students as possible with tickets to at least 3 home games. If ticket packages have to be split, students will only be charged for tickets ($8 per game) to the games they receive when their online request is processed.

If season ticket packages have to be split in order to accommodate demand, priority for full season packages will be based on UGA credit hours earned.

Pick-Up Guidelines: Students will be allowed to pick-up a maximum of 4 season tickets packages. Therefore, if a student cannot pickup his/her own tickets due to a conflict with the pickup dates/times, a friend will have the opportunity to claim the tickets on that student’s behalf. Students picking up season tickets for a friend will need the UGA Student ID of that person to claim the tickets. If the student is unable to bring the actual Student ID of the other student, a photocopy of the student’s ID and driver’s license will suffice (BOTH are needed if using a photocopy of ID to claim tickets). No photocopies will be accepted at the stadium gates on game day!

ROAD GAME TICKET INFORMATION FOR UGA STUDENTS

UGA students will be eligible to register for 2008 road game tickets following the same registration schedule used for requesting home game season tickets. Once a student logs into the ticketing system during the registration period, all eligible ticket options will be displayed for both home & away football games. For the purchasing process, credit/debit cards will not be charged for home and away tickets until the student demand for road tickets and ticket availability is determined by the Athletic Association.

All orders for home and away tickets will be processed on Saturday, August 23, 2008. Prior to this date, students should make sure that they have sufficient funds in their account to cover the ticket balance due for all tickets requested. The assignment of road game tickets will be based on seniority or credit hours earned at UGA. Students will receive an email at the address registered on their ticket account confirming the designation of away tickets (both recipients and non-recipients of away game tickets will receive an email from the Athletic Association).

Key Information Pertaining to Georgia Football Away Game Tickets
Due to demand and limited availability, it is likely that UGA students will need to have earned approximately 90 or more UGA credit hours prior to the fall 2008 semester in order to have a realistic chance of being awarded tickets to road games such as South Carolina, LSU, & Auburn. Last year, students needed approximately 67 UGA credit hours earned in order to receive a ticket to the Florida game (there is a larger student allotment of tickets for the Florida game). All students (new students included) purchasing home game season tickets will be eligible to make a request for road game tickets.

Eligibility requirements for requesting road game tickets are the same as for requesting home game season tickets. Please reference the requirements under the “Requirements for Ordering Online” link that is provide on the student ticket homepage.

Pick-Up Guidelines: Students will be allowed to pick-up away game tickets for themselves and 3 other people (maximum of four IDs can be carried by one student).

Students picking up away game tickets for a friend will need the UGA Student ID of that person to claim the tickets.

A University of Georgia Student ID Card is REQUIRED (along with student ticket) for entrance into all games played at Sanford Stadium.
