Student Section

[Landlord]

Thanks for the info guys Since it's a 6pm kick-off, I figured we could get parked by 2:30, tour and etc. for just under two hours and then head over to the gate right when it opens 90 minutes prior.

Thanks a ton!

If you aren't students, make sure you factor in the time it will take to get your tickets validated (if they aren't already). You have to validate outside the main ticket office (across the street from West stadium).

Also, section 11 is usually the last to fill up, so I would check there for seats first if you want a certain area. There isn't a huge difference in viewing angle from section 9 to 11.

In the South Stadium for students it's rough, if you are not in the gates at your seat at least 45 minutes before the game you won't find a seat, you'll end up standing in the aisle so make sure you're there in plenty of time before kickoff.

How long does it usually take to get them validated?

I have only been with someone who was validating one time. There was no line. You just pay (should be $34 per ticket for this game), they put a sticker on your ticket and give you a wristband (people in East Stadium must wear wristbands). There are two or three windows on the outside of the ticket office that you do it at. You can not validate inside the ticket office. I believe you can begin to validate 4 hours before kickoff (iirc, it might be 3 hours though)

My brother had done it for the past two years (I secured season tickets at face value like any good brother would). I had never heard any complaints about it taking too long or anything like that. If you are doing anything over in West Stadium (like looking at the trophies), then you can just swing by there real quick. Or if you make a stop at Huskers Authentic then you are already in the same building as the ticket office.

You definetly want to be there when the gates open if you want good seats. The student section is mostly full before the rest of the stadium barely fills up. It isnt a huge game so might not be as bad as the big games. I remember when we played USC in 2007 I was in line an hour or two before gates opened and there was a huge line already at that point.

With SDSU being so close and so many people having friends that go there, it will probably be pretty busy, hence the ticket prices... And as far as USC went... a friends gf sat in line for us while we were in line for game day... then we just slept there until later in the day.. that game was insane as far as seats went.

Yea, I remember showing up 7 hours before kickoff and being about 300 or so people back in line. I also remember having 10 rows to myself during the 4th quarter of that game. I'm glad that was the only year I had South Stadium tickets.
