SEC Student Ticket Policies

Things may have changed since I was a student (05-09) but it was based on class year and nothing else.

This is the way it was at auburn when I was there

Mississippi State charges $35 for season student tickets, and you just wait in line for them.

They award points for attendance of other sporting events, big games in softball or volleyball might get 2x points as an incentive to come out. Those points transfer to Bulldog Club points so when you aren't eligible for student tickets, you have a higher priority than students that did not attend as many sporting events.

Someone that goes to a bunch of volleyball, softball and women's basketball games might be able to get 25-30 yard line tickets as young alumni vs. upper deck tickets. Its worked pretty well. Big games are usually packed with loud students. We had like 3,000 students at a volleyball game a couple years ago. And we suck at volleyball. Like didn't win an SEC match in several seasons suck.

A&M does their by "pulling" tickets weekly. A football only pass for all games is $290. The athletic department probably sells 40K of them and a large majority of it is prime seating.

Grad Students & Seniors    Monday 
Juniors  Tuesday 
Sophomores    Wednesday 
Freshmen  7  Thursday 
All classes (if available)*  Friday 
Walk-up (if available)**    Friday 


*Classifications refer to students who have the 12th Man Pass. 
**Students without a 12th Man Pass will draw on Friday as Walk-ups, subject to availability.  

A&M you buy a sports pass for football games, either 8 game package or 4 game package. All other sports are free. Just show up and scan your student id to gain entrance. For football, ticket pull starts Monday and goes through Friday. Monday group pull (10+) and seniors, Tuesday juniors, Wednesday sophomores, Thursday freshman, and anybody Friday. Seniors and Juniors get second deck. Sophomores and Freshman get third deck. Tickets are randomly assigned when pulled. -Freshman

SC's is a priority lottery done the week of the game. Students have Monday and Tuesday to request a ticket, and they find out on Wednesday whether they got one or not. The more sporting events you attend, the more points you accumulate. By the time you are a junior/senior, its virtually impossible not to get a ticket.

Back when I was a student, you had to stand in line outside of the student union to get a ticket. 2003-2007.

UT does priority points and you get more from attending other events (volleyball, soccer) than football. Football games are $10 and 1 priority point.

I think the current policy is that 1/3 of priority points carry over to the next year.

Thanks for all the answers

Auburn's is similar. Your time to reserve your ticket online is based on Auburn credit hours (transfer hours don't count). When you buy, you can get a full season for $140. To buy any away tickets you have to get a full season. Once those sell out, you can buy mini season or 3 game passes for $20/game. Incoming Freshman have a lottery system and not many get full seasons.

We used to award block seating (which is the lower half of our section on the sideline) by Ignited points, so you had an incentive to go to other athletic events where you got those points. Now, block seating is done by GPA, so organizations like the Honors Congress have LOTS of block seating and some Greek organizations have a lot less. Student section is first come, first serve, so there is usually a line to get in a few hrs before the game

Our's is based on hours with a lottery for freshmen. We do have a rewards system for other sports. The top 20 in points get block seating for football and they give out gear for points.
