...to be converted to student guest tickets for the Alabama game only.

Sounds like they afraid of being occupied IMO.

LSU does that for most bigger home games.

Its to keep students from selling their $20 for 10x the face value. They want the money to go to the university and the donors not the students.

they do this for games with high demand. basically they want every student who wants a ticket to get one first so they don't allow you to pull a guest ticket with your ticket. I think you can convert them after the regular ticket pull is complete if there are any left (not sure about that though)

I agree with that. Student tickets should be for students

The main reason is that student tickets are subsidized by Alum/Donors etc. so they pay something like 250-300 for all sports pass. And if they converted all their tickets, then they could theoretically profit off them. Obviously we are not subsidizing student tickets so that they can make money.

Not uncommon

At LSU I'm pretty sure we can only do student guest tickets for non conference games

Also means they can't bring their bf/gf/friend/family member though. That sucks and id complain like a motherfricker if I wasn't able to take my gf to the biggest game of the year.

Just my opinion.

Eta: also from what I am gathering, this is for one game only, so it will not be like this for any other sec games.

OM's student tickets are on our student IDs, so you can't do this anyway.

there are roughly 25k women at A&M.

Too bad so sad if you can't find a suitable GF in that pool.

Finding one would be easy, finding one that I'd stick my dick in is another story.

I am sure a lot of A&M guys date high schoolers but shouldn't most of their girlfriends have tickets ?
