Info on new student ticketing system
Word of a new ticketing system has been floating around for a few weeks. Most fans want to get rid of the old paper system to prevent students from scalping, this new route should do it.
From montananewstation.com:
Students will no longer be receiving an actual ticket when they go to get one on the Monday before the game, instead they will get an electronic ticket credited to their Griz Card.
UM athletics department representatives say that paper-less tickets are the wave of the future for universities around the country.
Students will then swipe their Griz Card at the south east corner of the football stadium and receive a wristband if they need to exit the game and re-enter. [...]"I think there's a lot of positives to it" said UM Associate Athletic Director Chuck Maes. "We may have a few wrinkles in the first game or so that we'll have to work out. We're hoping we can try and be as organized and well prepared as we can but its hard to know what's going to happen right out of the gate."
The article also says that student guest passes will not only still be available, but that there will be 100 more for sale. I've only sold Griz tickets once, but the one time I did it was with guest passes. It remains to be seen whether or not these tickets will still be in paper form or if students receive two 'credits' to their Griz card.
