Home Season Ticket Registration Begins: Monday, August 1, at Noon
Home Season Ticket Registration Ends: Friday, August 19, at Noon
All UGA students will register for season tickets online during the time period allotted (outlined above). As a new student (incoming freshmen, transfer students, & graduate students who are new to UGA), your first opportunity to register for football student season tickets will be dependent on the date you register for classes. After you place your request, you will NOT be able to go back and add to your order. 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 will not be factored in for UGA football tickets. Study abroad credits will only be factored in if they are earned through UGA.
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT:

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.

NEW FOR 2011
PENALTIES AND TICKET DONATION/DESIGNATION:
Penalties:
The 2011 student football ticket penalty system is operated through a point scale. An unused ticket on a student account will result in a one point penalty "strike." Three strikes in a given season deem that student ineligible for post season tickets (SEC Championship and bowl tickets) and the following season's tickets.
Ticket Donation/Designation:
Students may login to the following site to see what home games they were awarded and donate or designate tickets to games they are unable to attend. Students who donate or designate a ticket to a game they are unable to attend will NOT be given a "strike" for that game. Please login using your UGA MYID and password.
Visit: https://www.cardservices.uga.edu/TicketDonations/index.php
To Avoid Penalties:
Students are encouraged to use all of their student football tickets. If you are unable to attend one or more of the games to which you've been awarded a ticket, you can donate those tickets back to the ticket pool or donate directly to an eligible student using their student ID number. You will not be refunded for donated tickets. Students have until 12:00 noon the Wednesday leading up to the game to donate a ticket to the pool or to another student. Students receiving a donated ticket directly from another student must accept that ticket by 12:00 noon the Wednesday leading up to the game. Students who are awarded a donated ticket from the pool will be notified by 5:00 p.m. on that Thursday.
UGA ID CARD
Student tickets will be inscribed on your valid UGA ID. There will be no physical tickets for home games. The student is responsible for checking the validity of the ID prior to game day. By checking your card, you are determining that your card is readable, that a ticket has been purchased by that cardholder, that it is the current card, and the cardholder is enrolled for Fall. Students may check their ID cards at the UGACard Office, Bulldog Bucks Office or at the UGAA Athletic Association Ticket Office.
Remember, it is your responsibility to ensure that you bring your current student ID. The magnetic stripe must be in good condition. Your valid UGA student ID is required for admittance to games-NO EXCEPTIONS.
If an ID card is lost or stolen, a new card can be obtained from the UGACard Office located in Room 309 at the Tate Student Center. ID cards are issued Monday-Friday 8:30am-5:30pm. UGACard Office is closed on Saturdays!
Any questions regarding Student ID cards can be directed to the UGACard Office at (706) 542-9226 or visit uga.edu/ugacard for more information.
The Ticket Office is not responsible for tickets or ID's that are lost, stolen, or destroyed.
Questions about ticket pricing, ticket availability, or general ticket information should be addressed to the UGA Athletic Association Ticket Office at (706) 542-1231. You must have your student ID number when calling.
Seating in the student sections are general admission. (See student sections below):
138 TO 143
109 TO 114
307 TO upper 316

IMPORTANT GENERAL INFORMATION:
All students must present their UGA student ID for admission to Sanford Stadium. Any attempt at fraudulent admission or use of student ID could result in disciplinary action from the university or local authorities. The UGACard Office is located in the Tate Center if you need to replace lost, stolen or damaged ID cards. The Athletic Department will communicate with students as needed through their university-issued email addresses. Please watch your email accounts for important messages from the Athletic Department as well as other campus offices.
FOOTBALL ROAD GAME INFORMATION FOR UGA STUDENTS
UGA students will be eligible to register for 2011 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 Wednesday, August 24th. 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 77 or more UGA credit hours prior to the fall 2011 semester in order to have a realistic chance of being awarded tickets to most road games. Last year, students needed approximately 54 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 DATES FOR AWAY FOOTBALL GAME TICKETS
Each UGA student making an online ticket request for Georgia road games will receive an email by 9pm on Friday, August 26th, informing them of their day & time to claim tickets that were awarded. Please be sure to check your email account on Friday (Aug. 26) evening for your day(s) & time(s) to claim tickets.
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). 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 away game 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!

The spouse will need the UGA Student ID card of the student and proper identification to pick-up the tickets.
