Men’s Basketball Student Ticket Policy
Basketball Ticket Policy
Bracelet Distribution, Tuesday, 5 PM-7 PM, Wednesday & Thursday, 8 AM -5 PM
Student ticket distributions will be held throughout the course of the fall and spring semesters for home basket
ball games. Ticket distributions are based on a lottery system. Each distribution week, students can obtain a
bracelet on Tuesday from 5-7 PM and Wednesday and Thursday from 8-5 PM. The ticket distribution staff will
close off the line at exactly 7 PM on Tuesday and 5 PM on Wednesday and Thursday. Students in line by the
cut off will receive a bracelet. Students arriving after that time will have to return during normal distribution
hours (if hours are still remaining that week).
Students should go to the student entrance, GATE 5, of KENAN STADIUM with a valid UNC One Card to
obtain their bracelets. One Cards will be swiped at the student entrance in the same manner as at home foot
ball games. Those students with valid One Cards will receive one bracelet for that distribution week. Students
must use their own One Card to receive a bracelet. Students presenting invalid One Cards will not receive a
bracelet. One Cards will scan invalid if they have already been swiped during that distribution week or if the stu
dent is not enrolled as a full-time student (among other reasons). Directions will be available on-site to remedy
any situations where a student feels their card has been incorrectly deemed invalid.
Bracelets are not to be removed or tampered with at all during a distribution week. Any bracelet that appears
tampered with will be deemed invalid and that student will forfeit his or her rights to tickets during that distri
bution week. Getting a bracelet does not guarantee you will get basketball tickets.
The Drawing of the “Magic” Number, Friday, 12 Noon
On Friday of the distribution week, a drawing will be held in the Pit at 12 Noon to determine the “magic" num
ber for the week. CAA will select random students from the present crowd or people from the basketball office
to participate in the drawing. Once determined, the magic number will be posted on the CAA Website, on the
CAA Sports Ticker in the Pit, and on the ticket window at the Dean E. Smith Center Ticket Office.
The person wearing the bracelet with the “magic” number will be first in line. Students will line up in sequential
order behind the “magic" number. When the line reaches the last number distributed (the last bracelet given out
on Thursday), the sequence will “wrap around” starting with the first number distributed that week (the first
bracelet given out on Tuesday). The last person in line will be the person with the bracelet number immediately
preceding the “magic" number.
Line Check, Saturday, 7 AM
Tickets will be distributed on Saturday mornings at the ticket office at the Dean E. Smith Center. A mandatory
line check will be held beginning at 7AM. Students must be present at line check in order to be eligible to
receive tickets during the actual distribution. Staff members will arrange in number blocks of one hundred (i.e.
1 -100) for line check. Students should locate the range that their number falls between (CAA members will be
spaced around the Smith Center holding signs with the individual number ranges on them) and wait for line
check to begin. It is recommended that students arrive at 6:45 to ensure that they do not miss line check. It may
take time to find where your range of numbers is being checked.
If a student is not present when their number is called for line check, that number is deemed ineligible. Students
will also be deemed ineligible if it appears that their bracelet has been tampered with or removed. If ineligible, a
student cannot receive tickets that day during the distribution. Being present for line check does not guarantee
a student basketball tickets.
Ticket Distribution, Saturday, Following Line Check
Following line check, the physical ticket distribution will begin, starting with the “magic” numbered bracelet.
Students must be present at the time when their number is called to receive tickets. If a student is not present
when their number is called, that number becomes invalid. That student cannot receive basketball tickets durinq
that distribution.
Students may receive up to two tickets once their number is called during distribution, as long as ticket sup
plies remain. Students must present valid UNC One Cards for each ticket they receive. Student must show
their own One Card to receive their ticket, and may show another valid One Card to receive a second ticket. A
One Card may only be used once during a distribution. Cards will be denied by the scanner if they have already
been swiped during that distribution. Tickets will be distributed to sequential bracelet holders until all student
tickets have been handed out.
The Tickets
Between 2500 and 6000 student tickets are available for each ticket distribution (depending on the game). The
games are tiered based on mini-season ticket packages and dates during which students often are not present
(such as Winter Break). There will be around 2500 student tickets for Cleveland State, UC-Santa Barbara,
Santa Clara, UNC-Asheville, and Davidson. There will be around 4000 student tickets for
Blakely Whilden, chairwoman of
the ethics committee, said she will
have an open ear to any extenuat
ing circumstances, but either by
resignation or congressional action
the representatives almost certain
ly will be ousted by Tuesday.
“This is the last straw,” she said.
“They’ve missed too many meet
ings.”
Whilden said the representatives
were told in the e-mail that if they
were interested in staying involved
in Congress, they could run again
in February’s general election.
“We are asking them to resign,
and if they feel like they still want
to be involved in Congress they can
run again,” Whilden said.
Speaker Luke Farley attributed
the decision to expel inactive mem
bers to a more involved Congress
this year.
“I think the entire body is inter
ested in making sure Congress is
more efficient,” he said.
Seven Congress members
already have resigned, many of
whom were asked recently to leave
because of inactivity.
The Board of Elections will hold
a special election Tuesday to fill

Many stopped off at the Carolina
Donor Services table, where they
got laminated donor cards to tuck
into their wallets.
Justin Marcus, a pre-med
student at Duke University who
was volunteering at the Carolina
Donor Services table, says he
became involved with organ
donation organizations after
his grandfather received a heart
transplant.
“Every state has their own rules
(about organ donation),” Marcus
says. “In North Carolina, the (driv
er’s license) doesn’t count as con
sent they’ll ask your families.”
He recommended consulting the
Carolina Donor Services Web site
at www.carolinadonorservices.org
to download a donor card, which
would serve as a legal document
authorizing organ, eye and tissue
donation.
“Every year somewhere between
six to 20,000 people die waiting for
a transplant,” Bill Coleman says.
“Awareness is low.”
Based on the way donor cards
were flying off the table, the
Colemans have made their mark.
VOTING
FROM PAGE 3
nonpartisan student voting initia
tive, led the registration drive for
the presidential elections last year,
when more than 7,000 students
registered.
Jeremy Spivey, chairman of
Vote Carolina, did not return several
calls Sunday.
In the last round of municipal
elections in 2003, a campuswide
voter registration drive garnered
2,300 new student voters.
In past years, groups were able
to dorm storm in the last few weeks
of elections to get students regis
tered. Administrators subsequently
banned the practice.
But now that the registration
deadline has lapsed, members of the
organizations said they will focus on
making sure registered voters actually
make it to the polls.
Early voting begins Thursday at the
Orange County Board of Elections’
Hillsborough office and Oct. 24 at
Morehead Planetarium and Carrboro
Town Hall.
Of the 2,300 newly registered
student voters in 2003, only 329
voted.
Many have predicted that stu
dents will be drawn to the polls
Gardner Webb, NC State, Saint Louis, Arizona, and Boston College. Finally, there will be around
6000 student tickets for Illinois, Miami, Clemson, Georgia Tech, Maryland, Virginia, and Duke.
Approximately two thousand of the distributed tickets are lower level (including the riser section).
Once all lower level tickets have been handed out, the remaining upper level tickets will be distrib
uted, until supplies are exhausted or the distribution concludes. All students must present a valid
UNC One Card along with their ticket in order to enter each game. Student entry will only be allowed
at Gate D of the Smith Center.
Risers
The risers are a special standing-room-only area within the student section located behind the basket
closest to the Tar Heel bench. Riser tickets are distributed regularly with student tickets. Riser tickets
will be the first tickets distributed on Saturday. Students will only receive riser tickets for one of the
games in the distribution and will receive regular tickets for the rest of the games in the distribution.
Students have the option to pass on riser tickets, and accept regular student tickets in their place
There are approximately four hundred riser tickets available for each game.
Distribution of Remaining Tickets, Monday, 8 AM
Tickets remaining at the end of the distribution will be handed out on the following Monday at 8 AM at
the Dean E. Smith Center Ticket Office. No bracelet is necessary to receive tickets. Student may
receive up to two tickets by presenting their One Card and another one. Any One Card already used
during the distribution will be denied.
Duke Distribution Policy
The annual senior ticket distribution for the men’s basketball game against Duke will be held Sunday
January’29. This ticket distribution gives preference to seniors and graduate students graduating in
May of 2006 or December of 2005, but does not guarantee tickets for these students Bracelets for
the distribution will be available at Gate 5 (the student entrance) of Kenan Stadium on Tuesday,
January 24 from 5 PM to 7 PM, and Wednesday and Thursday, January 25-26 from 8 AM to 5 PM Two
bracelet ranges will be distributed to students, one senior range for graduating seniors and graduating
grad students, and a second range for all non-graduating students. Juniors with senior standing based
on academic credit are only eligible for senior bracelets if they will graduate in May of 2006 or
December of 2005. Getting a bracelet in no way guarantees that a student will receive tickets.
Two “magic” numbers will be drawn on Friday, January 27 at 12 PM in the pit, one from each bracelet
range. Graduating seniors and graduating grad students are to report for line check at 2 PM on
Sunday, January 29 at the Dean E. Smith Center Ticket Office. Again, being present for line check
does not guarantee that a student will receive tickets. During the senior portion of the distribution
each student may receive up to two tickets, as supplies last, by showing their One Card and a second
valid UNC One Card. The second One Card must be from a graduating senior or graduating qrad
student. Seniors will not receive an additional ticket if the second One Card does not meet these
specifications. Line check for students in the non-graduating range will be held at 430 PM Any
remaining tickets will be distributed to non-graduating students at that time. Students again may
receive up to two tickets by presenting their One Card and a second valid UNC One Card.
Any student who is unsure of their classification may bring a signed letter on their department’s letter
head stating that they will be graduating in May of 2006 or December of 2005. Because of the vary
ing lengths of graduate programs, all graduating grad students should bring a letter from their depart
ment stating that they will graduate in May of 2006 or December of 2005. One letter from each
department listing the graduating grad students from that department will suffice.
For further information about the CAA's ticket distribution policy, please go to the CAA website at
www.unc.edu/caa. If you have any questions about the senior distribution, please contact the Director
ot licket Distribution at robinso4@email.unc.edu.
Ceiling Fan Tickets
Ceiling fans are a group of 500 students who sit in the uppermost rows of the Smith Center’s upper
deck These students receive tickets to every game (even Duke) and don't participate in the regular
disnbution process. Ceiling fan tickets are primarily directed to people who have trouble attending
regular distributions (such as graduate or professional students). The Ceiling fan sign-ups will be
October 24, 25 and 26 at the Smith Center Ticket Office Window.

tuition increase, so that it could be
spread out among UNC’s academic
departments.
But because future student fee
and tuition hikes can be expected,
Judith Wegner, faculty chairwoman
and a committee member, said the
athletic fee should be passed. “The
hope is always that there’s another
way to slice this. I think there really
isn’t an alternative.”
Last year the UNC Board of
Trustees approved this year’s SIOO
hike and a SSO student fee for ath
letics next year because the depart
ment said it would shift its logo rev
enue to fund student scholarships.
That SSO increase was over
turned by the UNC system’s Board
of Governors, which said fee and
tuition changes only can be made
for one year at a time.
Student Body President Seth
Dearmin, who is co-chairman of
the committee, said it is unlikely
trustees will change their favorable
stance on the athletic fee hike.
“This is something that’s a real
ity, so let’s work with this and fig
ure out how students can gain from
this,” he said, though he added that
it would not be prudent to ignore
some members’ strong dissent.
Daneen Furr, student body trea
surer and a committee member,
said that she disagrees with the
hike and that it is important for
members of the committee who
disagree to hold their ground.
“We’re not going to stop making
the argument, but I guess what this
speaks to is there needs to be a call
for the Board ofTrustees to be more
in tune with the University instead
of looking at it like a business.”
