USF v UF Ticket Policy

[IncrediBULL]

The one thing that is kinda interesting for me about these tickets is that Section 44 is right next to the UF student section. This should be a fun game  >

And not all of their students get tickets.  It is a lottery and they have to wait in line.  And I believe they have to pay for them (talking home games here).  Our 12k student tickets (for free no less) is one of the largest in all of the BCS.

The are in a different place, developmentally, than we are.  They built up over decades to get to where they are.  Lets hope we can be part of that some day in our own right.

to be fair, their students don't pay an athletic fee. ours do and it costs them like $10 per credit hour whether or not they attend sporting events. the tickets are definitely not "free".

The UF student section is about 24,000 students, and they pay $70 to enter into the lottery to get tickets.

I am more upset with UF sticking their visitors in an area of the endzone where they can touch the clouds rather than see the plays.

You mean the same way that USF does to the teams who come to RJS?

Then **** those Sea Wolves fans for sneaking down to those 1st level, sideline seats ... Where the hell was security??

One lower level section that holds about 600 seats, as opposed to the 3,000 others we give to road teams in the upper level?

And I am hoping that this dude isn't correct in saying that students have lower row options over the donors.

yeah we basically do the same thing as UF one section in the lower bowl then that wedge up on third deck, but we give a couple more sections if needed (wvu, cincy, mia). it's just that their third deck is on the North endzone.  and i think that the HOT band will be in the lower half of sec 44 (should have been top half in my book), our lower bowl visitor section is supposed to be the same, but other teams dont usually bring thier band since we are so far away, c'mon we have to fly to all of our conference games.

Im confused, our student tickets are on the completely other side of the stadium from sec 44...we are in 314... I dont really care where I sit because that is the way it goes as a student at away games, I just want to know are we totally split up?

The primary visitor section is in the southeast corner of the stadium.

A small pocket of tickets are also reserved immediately behind the visitor's bench.

The third area is where the visitor section can grow based on need and the contract... and that's in the upper section of the north endzone.

It's up to USF how they want to divvy out those tickets.

Visitor bands usually sit down at the bottom of 44 or A, so that they have easy access to the field for entrances and halftime.

UF students do pay an activity and athletic fee. It covers free admission to all sports but football.
