Student Ticket Policy
I am going to be visiting Ann Arbor the weekend of the Illinois game. If you use a student ticket do they scan your student ID? I still have my MCard from when I was a student there but it wont scan if they do that. Do the gate people just look at your mcard?

But to add a 2nd question, does it matter if the ID is expired?

I doubt it. If it doesn't work, hop to another line. I got a friend in once (who was a girl) and the ticket guy just looked at her and said "enjoy the game, but at least next time, get a girl's ID"

I went for 2 seasons after graduating and they just looked at it. They have so many students to deal with, there's no way they could scan everyone's card.

When my little bro came to a game with me i slipped my mcard through the fence so he wouldn't have to pay extra.

Security caught him and it lead to his first MIP.

When I was a student they just looked at your MCard but they also didnt scan the tickets until my last year. I was at the OSU game last year with a student ticket but I can't remember if they scanned IDs. I had my ID and a friends MCard. So I dont remember what they did,

they don't look closely at all during the really rushed times. i've known girls who have gotten in with a guy's M card. commence jokes about manly women

They don't scan, they just look. As long as it looks like an M Card, you'll be fine. My girlfriend made one on Photoshop and it works. Shh.

Also your student M-Card lasts for 5 years from the time it leaves the machine. Thus I suggest "losing" your M-Card about a month before you graduate. Go down to the SMAC, pay 10 bucks and get an M-Card with an expiration date 5 years from that date. I'm a student until 2014 according to the M-Card.

That's exactly what I did, except mine just so conveniently happened to fall apart from normal wear and tear in March of 09 so i didn't even have to pay the money.

Yep, I just told them that the magnetic strip didn't work anymore. Viola! New M-Card.

I should have done that.

They don't even look at the picture. I have two ID's after I found my lost one a week later after I got a new ID. The only places that scan ID's are the CCRB, NCRB, IM building and AATA buses.
