Go to Galveston or Port A Tuesday - Friday. Rates are cheap and the beaches are less crowded.

U of Texas - Austin / Re: Any word on football tickets?« on: July 10, 2006, 02:09:06 PM »do we have to join the group again for the UT/OU game, or not?You don't have to, but if you do you'll get seated with people you already know, if not you'll be thrown into the wilderness that is the Cotton Bowl on OU weekend. I've done both, and had no problems either way. It's all about personal preference. 34

Is that the same one that's been posted on here before?
Not that it really matters to me, I categorically refuse to join myspace. 35

Monica is not correct about only registered students being able to purchase tickets. Even though I did my undergrad at UT, I wasn't a registered student last year so that would seem to preclude me from her list. Not to mention there are people who are coming from completely different undergrad institutions who already have gotten the email (I've spoken to a number of them who were confused by the system).
Texas Box Office and the Athletics Office (Bellmont) are notorious for screwing things up when it comes to student season tickets, which is one reason I was apprehensive about the whole process. Something happened between the law school giving Bellmont the list of people who have turned in their letters of intent and this email going out. I don't know who's to blame, but I suggest taking matters into your own hands if you have yet to receive the email. You can call Bellmont (don't call Texas Box Office, they are useless) at (800) 982-BEVO or (512) 471-3333 and explain your situation. You may have to hold for awhile, but be persistent and you should get it sorted out. 36
U of Texas - Austin / Re: Any word on football tickets?« on: July 06, 2006, 10:04:20 PM »Many, many thanks for setting up the group. I can't wait 'til the OSU game!To your first question, it is quite the opposite. The larger groups get seated better. It is easier for the ticket office to seat the large groups fist, and then "fill in" with smaller groups. As long as we are all Grad Students or Seniors (they wouldn't affect our status, though I don't know how seniors would get the group name and password), our seats should be pretty good. Just make sure that you select lower level east side, though if you're in a group I don't think it matters. As to your second question, I assume so. In the past they were just regular tickets, but that is not the case any longer, so I can' imagine that you could give them to someone else - unless you find someone who looks like you and you give them your ID. 37

Alright, the group is created and the name and password is up on the Freshlaw boards. I also sent a Facebook message out to everyone who is currently in the UT Law Class of 2009 Facebook group with the same information, so if you're in that group already just check your messages.
Like I said on the Freshlaw boards and in the facebook message, I've been through this before as an undergrad, so if you have any questions feel free to ask. Oh, and for those of you who were wondering about the price, here's what my bill broke down to: Longhorn All Sports Pass (LASP): $70 Student Season Tickets: $60 Guest Ticket for all games: $365 (This one is optional, and most don't get it, so don't let the price scare you) Oklahoma Ticket: $85 (also optional, though I'd recommend it - even if you don't go you can sell it) Processing fee: $6 Total: $586 Also, it looks like they tickets will be print at home, which will make it next to impossible to sell the high-demand home game tickets (Ohio State and A&M), which isn't a consideration for me, but may be for some. I'm not sure about the Guest Ticket, however, it may just be a regular ticket that can be sold - but that's just idle specualtion on my part. 38

I just got my email. Here's the text:
Quote Dear <your name here>, I'm going to create a group name and group password and put it on the Freshlaw Message boards (so that it is more protected). However, if you want the name and password here, just send me a PM. Note: Everyone must sign up by the 28th of July in order to be part of the group. If they don't, there's no guarantee of tickets. Also, please don't invite any UT students who are not Seniors or grad students - if there is one Junior or Sophomore or Freshmen in the group, the entire group is classified by that classification, i.e. if there are 100 1Ls and 1 Freshman, the entire 101 person group is classified as Freshmen and we'd get crappy seats. 39

I'm getting reports of undergrads starting to get the email for Student Season Tickets. I'll post more info when I have it.
