My son is devastated that he wasn't able to get student tickets despite getting in line promptly on both days. Any advice on ways to get him to games without spending thousands on Stub hub?

Student Season Tickets
- Thread starter ghenrichon
- Start date
Find a friend, get them too drunk to make it to the game, take their buff one card or whatever they use now.
Have him get a job with a kettle corn vendor.
Can he play an instrument? The golden buffalo marching band can always use more musicians. Also, would be worth checking with the band, cheer, AD, etc. If they need any other game day volunteers
Is he in a fraternity or club? Work the social networks. My oldest was usually able to scrounge up a spare ticket via his friend group through word of mouth, although that was pre-Prime so demand wasn't so high. There will inevitably be someone sick or out of town that has a ticket they can part with. Unfortunately there's near 30K undergrad and grad students in the system and only 12K student tickets, so there's going to be a lot in the same boat.
I take it that they don’t let students sell the tickets to each other anymore?
Cousin didn’t get one either (freshman). Told him to ask around and find hungover, drunk, or entitled kids that’ll give up their ticket easy.
There are always so many kids that don’t make it and hand off the ticket

Barzil2 always comes through.
Do they actually have physical tickets? It was always our ID card back in the olden days when I went.
They emailed them to us so you could just screenshot it and text
I plead the 5th. I got in freshman year (1991) to every game and didn't get season tixs because they were sold out. The kid has to be resourceful.

My daughter who is an incoming freshman says they still need to pick up a physical ticket. I don't know if that is accurate, but that is what she believes and she is definitely more in tune with it than I am.
She got lucky today and did get a sports pass and is excited. It's good to see as she was never one to follow sports in general.
I'm sorry OP that it didn't work out for everyone, but I got to imagine a student has a chance of landing another student's ticket if a kid can't go. Lots of kids may think they are going and never make it past tailgating. I hardly ever did in college....lol, so there will definitely be ways to pick up a student ticket cheap while 'at the game'
Band camp starts on either Monday or Tuesday, so if this is the path he wishes to take, he'll need to move quickly.
Join the Band!
That being said, joining the band JUST to go to the football games is kind of a dick move - if you have no plans on being an active participant. Most, if not all of us, have / had done this for large portions of their lives, and are fairly dedicated to it. Some people join later, but do so to join, not to get free tickets to football games.

If there’s still a dedicated student entrance with no one supervising the student worker, he should befriend them or grease the wheels if needed.
No lol

Thanks for the post.
That sounds like a good idea based on what I've been hearing. Good job CU for seeing an issue and working to resolve it.
Problem is that students were in the aisles. Fire hazard in a major way.
