Question on student tickets for bowl game

Submitted by CJRockford on
Does anyone know if student id's are required for student tickets at bowl games? I can get up to 4 tickets for $35 and would like to bring some friends that live in Florida that aren't UM students.

Bought tickets to a Rose Bowl as a student and they were just regular tickets.  I'm not sure how good the seats will be though.  Mine were up in a corner.  

Who's gonna check UM student id's in FL anyway?

Hard to tell from this description.... On Monday, Dec. 7, from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. EST student football season-ticket holders will have the exclusive opportunity to purchase up to four (4) $35 student section tickets until the supply is exhausted. Students also have the opportunity to purchase public seats for $90 (no limit). Students will be seated based on their student priority points that they accumulated throughout the 2015 season. No requests to alter student priority points will be honored at this time, no exceptions. Students may purchase by logging into your student account at mgoblue.com/tickets and click on the Buffalo Wild Wings Citrus Bowl button to purchase tickets.

you can get three other seats for non student season ticket holders for $35 tomorrow.

My guess is that the stadium will not be sold out, so they are happy to sell a limited quantity of $35 tickets and not to achieve the maximum dollars possible with all $160 seats and a wow experience.

Nope, you don't have to bring other students!

 

I'm buying 4; one for my mom, one for my brother (who hopefully will be coming to UM next year!) and one for my cousin (I'm the only student of that group).

Got my four as well! 

 

Are the students completely separate from other people who buy from the AD or are they mixed in seating wise?

They told us our seats will be based on student priority points (how early you come to games) and I have the maximum number of points so I'm hoping for non-terrible seats. (or, if in a bad section, at least in the lower part of it). 

 

Anyone have any idea on where students sit in the Citrus Bowl?

My daughter just ordered our tickets (4).  Was told no student id needed at the game, tix will be all together in the student sections.  Couldn't tell her where that would be ahead of time.  Ours will be mailed out from UM Ticket Dept. the week of Dec. 21st.  Hope this helps.

Spent 2 hrs this morning getting people to committ so I could buy 4 tix and now it looks like the student allotment of $35 tix is gone... Damn it!  Can still buy unlimited amount of $90 tix, but I'd rather play the secondary market than pay that.

Is sitting with other Michigan fans important to you?

 

If so, I'd buy through the University tomorrow. 

 

If not, I'd still probably buy through UM although it's not super clear. The prices may fall lower as the Bowl approaches, but given that this game is in the center of the State of Florida and we are playing the University of Florida, they will not fall super low as there are a ton of Gator alums and fans in the area that would go. Also, I think Michigan fans will travel pretty well for this one.

the "student tickets" will be sent out next week. The receipts, not tickets, say "general admission".

They also say tickets will be distributed out by priority points whatever that means.

I think the Alumni tickets will be between the 40's and the rest are first come first served. FLorida on one side, UM onthe other. Florida student tickets were $80 so I imagine that is what scalpers will use a the lowest base and you wont see that until after kick off.

I'd get the $90 seat now unless you are a high roller and do the alumni thing. BTW I am a lifetime UM Alum Member and cant believe what Conlin charges for these trips. Was worth it for the Rose Bowl in 97 which would be a logistical nightmare to do on your own and an early sell out, but Citrus/Orlando is easy. Save your money for MIckey Mouse and the bar.

Check out Spirit and Frontier for roundtrips to ORlando from Det or other cities. $350 for direct flights is not bad over the holidays.
