A new system for distribution of men's basketball student tickets for has been approved by the Texas A&M Student Senate and will be implemented for the 2009-10 basketball season.

The lottery process has been discontinued and student admissions for men's basketball will be handled as follows:

1. Students who have purchased the All Sports Option are able to attend any basketball game on a seats-available basis by simply presenting their Student ID at the north or south student entrances to Reed Arena.

2. Students with a valid All Sports Option may pull a physical ticket for any men’s game and have the opportunity to enter the arena 15 minutes early for the game so they can select a seat before students who have not pre-pulled a ticket.  A valid student ID is required along with a student ticket for entry.

3. When pulling physical tickets, one student may pull up to 10 tickets. A valid sports card is needed for each student ticket pulled.

4. Physical tickets may only be pulled at the ticket windows at the Kyle Field Zone Plaza (not Reed Arena).

5. Students without an All Sports Option may purchase a “Walk-up” ticket on the day of a game by presenting their Student ID at any open box office (either Kyle Field or Reed Arena).  Walk-up tickets are $13 for regular games and $18 for premium games.

6. Students have two options to purchase a guest ticket in the student section for a non-Texas A&M student: 1) buy a full price guest ticket, or, 2) buy a half price guest ticket by converting the sports pass of a student with an unused All Sports Option. Either can be done while pulling tickets or on game day.  Guest tickets are $26 for regular games and $31 for premium games.

7. A football-style ticket pull, based on seniority, may be utilized for any game where anticipated demand exceeds the supply of seats allotted to students.  Details would be announced in advance.
