I'll address some of the questions/issues brought up in this thread so far. I agree that giving students free tickets to games is successful in getting more students to the games. The issue is that students who bought season tickets are left wondering why they bought season tickets in the first place. I heard first-hand from many freshman last year that they wouldn't get season tickets for football again because free tickets are given out to some of the games anyways. There's not a big enough incentive to buy the tickets in that case.

The idea of including season tickets in the student activity fee has been brought up and is still discussed. I'm not sure of the seriousness of the discussion, but it was brought up as recently as the end of last year.

Admission to all of the Olympic Sports is free. Football and Men's Basketball are the only two sports that you need to pay for tickets. There is no points system either. It was tried in the past and then stopped.

As far as the number of student seats set aside, I believe the maximum number is 5,000. I don't think 5,000 seats are always set aside, but I'm almost positive that is the max (I will check on this).

Lastly, seats are on a first come, first serve basis. Students who buy single-game tickets have just as much of a chance to sit in front as do students with season tickets.
