Pick-up for students with 50 or more credit hours begins Tuesday during the same time slot.
All students with 15 credit hours or more can pick up their tickets Wednesday.
New students and those with 15 credit hours or less may pick up their tickets Thursday.
Beginning on their designated pick-up day, students may collect their tickets throughout the week. Students planning on sitting next to their pals this season will have to brave the heat together to receive tickets from the same ticket booth and ensure they receive adjacent seats.
Friends may collect tickets for other students, but there is a maximum allowance of four ticket packages per student.
In order to pick up tickets for another student, a UGA student ID is required and the ticket-collector also must be picking up their own tickets at that time.
If you are unable to bring the ID, a photocopy of both their UGA student ID and drivers license will be accepted as a substitute.
Students may not retrieve tickets for another student who falls outside of their credit-hour range. For example, a senior with 100 hours may not pick up tickets for a student with 55 hours until Tuesday.
Thursday is the final day for all students to pick up tickets.
Students with more than 75 hours can pick up away game tickets Sept. 18. Students with less than 75 hours can pick up away game tickets Sept. 19 and 20.
If you are unable to pick them up, you may either have a friend pick them up for you or contact the University Ticket Office at 706-542-1231 by 4 p.m. on Thursday.

Boo hoo freshmen, looks like a lot of you will have to take part in what is becoming the unofficial tradition of paying 80 bucks for an Auburn ticket. (Continued…)

I don't want to hear what the freshman think they deserve. When I was a freshman, you either received the full schedule or none at all, and I received the latter. (Continued…)

At Tennessee every single student that wants a ticket gets one. At Georgia money is what comes first and the Athletic Association could care less about the students. (Continued…)

With as much tuition and other fees as it costs to attend UGA now, it would seem as if football tickets would be the first thing granted to a full time student. (Continued…)

Let us not forget that the president of the Athletic Association is in fact Michael Adams. Also, ALL of the money that is received by the Athletic Association stays in athletics. (Continued…)

I am a sophomore. I received 3 tickets. I have 3 roommates: 2 sophomores and one junior. One sophomore and the junior received 4 tickets, whereas the other sophomore received the entire package. (Continued…)

At least football tickets are still reasonably priced for students. The true athletic scam is the golf course ... 45$ to ride on the weekend? Its a complete rip-off to charge students that much money, never mind the 55$ asked of alumni. (Continued…)

I agree with the absurdity of freshmen being upset at not receiving the full Home schedule. Twice before registering during my Freshman year I was told of the system generally used at UGA. (Continued…)

18, 026 student tickets out of a 92, 746 stadium does seem like a low percentage. However, how do you expect the ticket association to give a larger proportion of tickets to students when we can't even fill our entire section until the 2nd quarter for most games? It is downright embarrassing to see the student section of the upper deck half empty at kickoff for some of the lesser games. (Continued…)
