That's surprising since the game I went to had only 4,000 people there. I know they checked my brother's ID and tickets. It might depend on which door you went in.

Your best bet to get in without being stopped to present a Student ID would be East entrance. They're normally stricter on the west side.

Good to know. I don't remember which side we went in for that game. The other thing I was thinking of was, since the lines weren't long to get in at the game I was at, they had no excuse not to check the IDs and tickets. The Shootout was sold out and they would have a lot of pissed off people if they missed the tip off because they were checking every ID.

They checked his ID and then scanned the tickets.

Also, your wife's old ID won't do you any good for two reasons. First, the ID's have changed within the last year or two so unless she is a very recent grad, it won't be the same ID. Second, the name on the ID won't match the name on the ticket of the student so it won't matter anyway. Bring your receipt.

So if questioned on where the other students are, which do you think is better to say?

i bought it off stubhub + heres my receipt/email confirmation or

just say "were meeting them inside"

Find someone who has them and ask if you can have one. Floor seats are $15,000 a year for 4 tickets. Some of the floor seats are given away to prominent alum and big time donors at no cost. Oscar gets 2 for every game at no charge. Oscar may not be going Senior night so you may want to ask him if you can have his.

I would say you bought them on Stub Hub and it never said they were student tickets. Here is my receipt.
