The Line Has Begun

[CJ Vogel]

A line about 15 deep has started outside of DKR where students are vying for the best seat possible in the Texas student section ahead of tomorrow’s kickoff vs. Ohio State.

Wow….love it.

Since when is the student section first come first serve? Seems like a disaster

[Dread-headed Texan]

Ohio State had 9 penalties against Ball State at home, let's see if the crowd can push that up to 15 Saturday night.

Might as well put this here to. Mo Bamba's is open on the Drag.

It is complicated, but they have to get their tickets in advance through essentially a lottery process, but once they get their ticket, seating is basically general admission.

A lot of issues with student section.

The same groups will camp outside overnight, only for it to be a mad dash into the stadium when the gates open, to get the front row seats - specifically where the cameras film. 

Frats also have their pledges run in early as well, and they try to lay claim to an entire row (or multiple rows). 

The student section is also too small to accomodate the number of students who would like to attend, so about half of the Big Ticket holding students don't get the chance to go to games.

Many more issues as well...

That’s exactly what I would think happens. Back when I was a student we had LASP (longhorn all season pass) where it would be a draw system in advance for a reserved seat
