Yeah, there are no tickets that I am aware of... I have none this year and none last year. There was a list last year and they crossed you off and handed you a nametag. I would print off your confirmation if you want to be on the safe side.

Got back a little while ago.  I had a great time.  Most of the talk was stuff we all pretty much know, but it was interesting anyway.  I honestly can't think of any coach I'd have replace either Hoke, Beilein, or Red.  They are awesome.
