Student Tickets for Basketball Games on Sale

Typically, Student Ticket sales for basketball happen pre-season in a season ticket block. If you missed that window, there were only week by week last minute options for obtaining tickets. That process totally fell apart for the GT game at home last week as many students arrived at the gate only 15 minutes before tip-off, and they were unable to enter the game in any sort of a timely fashion.

We spoke with the athletic department about this issue, and they heard your complaints and concerns. UGA has finally resolved this issue for students who want to pick up tickets to future games. If you're considering going to some of the big games the rest of the season, why wait in line for tickets when you can pick them up now!

Per the press release:

UGA Student Tickets Available Online For All Remaining
Home Basketball Games and Gymnastics Meets


University of Georgia students can order their single event tickets for all remaining home men's basketball games and gymnastics meets online starting at 5:00p.m. today. The original sales periods have been extended to provided UGA Students with as much time as possible to order their tickets in advance of each remaining home men's basketball game and gymnastics meet.

UGA Students are strongly encouraged to take advantage of the online pre-sale and day of event sales at the UGA Bookstore to make sure they have their tickets in advance and to avoid lines at Stegeman Coliseum on the day of the event.

I know you want Kirby news. This was a press release so it was easier to write. That's coming after I get situation.

Thanks for the link! I'm a student and didn't know Athletics had reopened ticket sales.

If UGA had not put basketball tickets on student ID cards, the chaos that happened outside Stegeman before the Tech game would never have even happened. It makes sense to do it for football, but when you're only drawing a few thousand students for b-ball games, why put them on the cards (which takes at least twice as long) when you could simply hand out paper tickets?

Hey, I'm ready for Ole Miss. I'm wearing my blue and red sweater on Wednesday at work, just so to jinx them.

Hoop Dawgs! I can't wait until Wednesday; it'll be nice to see some action to take Kirby off our minds.

And not that I want to disregard the Lady Hoop Dawgs - damn, they're killing 'em lately.

Go Dawgs, come Wednesday. . .

Well then Katie, as a "student", you should have checked your UGA Mail because I've gotten 3 emails about this today.

Katie said...

Rick: I did check my UGAMail, and I didn't get anything. I hadn't registered in the ticket system previously, I'm in the marching band and any tickets that required my ID I had bought previously with cash and had them loaded at the door. I had no reason to be in the system before now. (I have a profile on here, you can check it if you don't believe me. :] )

I'm glad they opened sales up again, I forgot to prebuy my Gym Dogs tickets. Fixed that really fast.
