Student Section Question

[Schu]

hey guys, first post here. I'm a student at Northwestern College in Orange City, Iowa, and a friend and I have 2 student section tickets for the KState game(he's friends w/ a nebraska student who wasn't using the 2 tickets). He was telling me that security doesn't check student ID's if you go in the "first wave." I was just wondering if any students or alums on here know if this works. Yes, I know about the ticket verification thing but I don't want to pay an extra 40 bucks...Sorry if this is been asked, I searched for it but couldn't find anything

I wouldn't count on it. I'm a student that goes to every game and I would say they check it about half the time...usually less for big games because of the volume of people. If you could get your hands on an Ncard, even if it isn't your picture, you could probably pass for a student. But it never hurts to try I suppose

They don't usually check the first 20 or so each gate since there is so much pushing and shoving. Only problem is you'll have to show up at about 8:00 to 9:30 in the morning and wait all day.

What do they do if they catch you? Do they make you go validate it, or do they confiscate the ticket?

[carlfense]

Sorry man, you have to validate it. (ESPECIALLY if they are east stadium).

This is not what I wanted to hear!

they do check id's, they don't look at the picture, just borrow their nuid's to use.

Thanks for the input guys, I'll see if we can borrow a couple of IDs

Good luck! Just remember that if they look closely at the ID's and realize they aren't yours they will (1) not let you into the game, (2) confiscate the ID's, and (3) the ID owner might get in a bit of trouble. I've only seen it happen twice, but keep it in mind.

 

Edit: Also they are more likely to check your ID's carefully if the names on the ID's don't match the names on the tickets. That said, this is just a worst case scenario type of warning. You will probably be fine.

Very important to make a distinction between South and East.

 

If your tickets are east, good luck getting in with someone else's ID (unless they look like you). You have to go through a tent where they check your ID and Ticket to make sure the names match and give you a wristband. If they don't match, you have to go through a separate gate to get your wristband, where they scan your ID to make sure you are a full time student. Once you have your wristband, you no longer need an ID. They will check for wristbands and scan tickets when you go through the gate.

 

South (where your tickets are most likely located) is just a mess.

Carlfense is spot on here.

 

The ticket checkers can be little b@st@rds about everything.

 

You may not want to spend the extra 40 bucks, but if you want a hassle free experience and no risk then just validate it.

If we try and get in without ID's and get caught, do they confiscate the tickets? Or can we just go and validate them if we get caught?

I'm not sure about the tickets. The ID's WILL be confiscated though. If I had to guess I would guess they would take the tickets as well.

I doubt they will confiscate the tickets, but I honestly don't know because I don't know anybody who has personally been caught.

 

My best guess is they will tell you that you cannot get in because it is not your ticket and it must be validated.
