Football noobie - The Rent seating advice

[UChusky916]

Hi all. I frequent the basketball board and go to a lot of basketball games. This is one of my first posts here on the football board and I'm trying to support the football team more this year than simply following the score on my phone.

Looking to get some cheap seats for the BYU game. I am a recent uconn alumnus and have an older student ID (old logo). Will I be able to get into the student section if I can manage to find a student-section ticket? Do they check IDs? If so, could I buy a student ticket for my girlfriend (non-uconn student) and get her in the student section with me?

If I can't do student section tickets, is stubhub best bet for cheap non-student tickets?

Any advice is greatly appreciated. If I can't snag student section tickets, I'll buy 'em legit. Thanks all.

I'm too old to try to sneak into the student section so I don't know about that. But you can go to uconntickets.com and enter promo code FILLTHERENT for discounted $20 tickets for the BYU game.

Also, kudos to you for supporting the football team - UConn needs to bring in bball fans to... uh... FILLTHERENT as much as possible to help all the athletics programs!

No idea how they check student ID's but there are $20 tickets you can buy online using the promo code FILLTHERENT. I much prefer seats in the upper deck at the Rent. Gives you a much better perspective.

Welcome aboard. Glad you are investing in the football program.

This. In addition the seats are pretty close to the action ( just above and behind the student section).

They check student ID's at the gate so I assume you need an up to date ID, but inside the stadium you should be able to view the game with the students if that is where you want to be and still look the part. Go for the $20 txs.

Is it possible I could buy the $20 general tickets and sit in the student section? I have a baby face and certainly look the part of a student.

Yep, kids are on the move all game long and I've walked in their area for a few plays after trips to the head or concession and my baby face is long gone.

Bingo.

For $118, you can have a nice seat there in section 210.

Young alumni tickets are honestly the best deal that the ticket office promotes.

You likely won't be able to get into the student section in sections 109-112 as they usually do check ID's there however another general admission area which is also part of the student section but not enforced is sections 105-108. I've done that many times without any problems.

You'll probably be able to get into the stadium with your old ID, as the staff at the Rent are part-time locals from East Hartford rather than actual Uconn employees. I do know that for big games, especially in conference play later in the season, they will have security at the top of the student section, making sure only students get down there. Historically they only do this when the stadium is full, I'd expect this to be the case Friday. Either way, it's worth a shot. Good luck and have fun!

Thanks everyone for the helpful suggestions. Will be going with the $20 promotion for Friday. I want to do the Young Alumni season tickets but the only option for delivery is US Mail and I'm afraid I wouldnt get them for Friday's game. Will be buying Young Alumni season tickets next year.

Student season tickets are now on our student ID's therefore there is no actual ticket anymore. Helps with people forgetting them on campus.

I'm pretty sure if you buy young alumni you can pick up the BYU ticket at will call. They wouldn't lock you out of a game because you bought too close to a game.

Agree. Or electronic tickets are an option too. But either way, have fun on Friday!!!
