GOVERNMENT BILL 21

A BILL TO BE ENTITLED

AN ACT TO ESTABLISH THE 2002-2003 BASKETBALL

TICKET DISTRIBUTION POLICY

BE IT ENACTED, by the North Carolina State University Student Senate that:

Section 1. Student Body Statutes §9-2 shall be amended by adding:

§9-2.5. Ticket Eligibility.
All students who paid any portion of the athletics fee shall be eligible to participate in ticket distribution.

§9-2.6. Distribution Type Selection.

The Committee on Campus Community shall determine at the commencement of the Basketball Season the Distribution Type for each game. This may be changed by a two-thirds vote of the committee one (1) calendar week prior to the game.

§9-2.7. Distribution Type A.

General Procedure:
Ninety minutes prior to the start of the game, students may present their All Campus Card at the ticket windows of the RBC Center marked for such distribution.
Guest Tickets:
A student can purchase one guest ticket per valid All Campus Card with exceptions to be determined by the Committee on Campus Community prior to the basketball season.
Students with Disabilities:
Those students with an apparent disability who are registered with the Athletic Ticket Office and the Student Organization of the Differently Abled (SODA) may request for a second ticket free with their All Campus Card for the use of a person aiding them into and out of the RBC Center.
Concerning Fraudulent Use of the All Campus Card:
Fraudulent use of an All Campus Card will result in loss of ticket privileges for the next event and the immediate confiscation of the All Campus Card. The violation will be referred to the Judicial Board for review. Fraudulent use of the All Campus Card includes but is not limited to students allowing non-students or alumni to use their cards to gain entrance to games or students using All Campus Cards other than their own.

§9-2.8. Distribution Type B.

a. Overall Procedure:
On the first day of distribution, members of the Committee on Campus Community will hand out vouchers from 10:00am – 6:00pm. On the following day, tickets will be distributed to the winning vouchers from 10:00am – 6:00pm. Any remaining tickets will be distributed on the third day from 10:00am – 6:00pm. The maximum number of tickets a student can pick up is 4, including guest tickets as per §9-1.8. Tickets are distributed in random order.

b. Distribution Procedure:
All students wanting tickets to home basketball games must be in single file lines extending from the windows 1 and 2 (3, if needed). It is the student’s responsibility to keep up with their place in line. Members of the Committee on Campus Community and Campus Police Officers can revoke any ticket privileges from nonconforming students.

c. Guest Tickets:
A student can purchase one guest ticket per valid All Campus Card with exceptions to be determined by the Committee on Campus Community prior to the basketball season.

d. Students with Disabilities:
Those students with an apparent disability who are registered with the Athletic Ticket Office and the Student Organization of the Differently Abled (SODA) may request for a second ticket free with their All Campus Card for the use of a person aiding them into and out of the RBC Center

e. Concerning Fraudulent Use of the All Campus Card:
Fraudulent use of an All Campus Card will result in loss of ticket privileges for the next event and the immediate confiscation of the All Campus Card. The violation will be referred to the Judicial Board for review. Fraudulent use of the All Campus Card includes but is not limited to students allowing non-students or alumni to use their cards to gain entrance to games or students using All Campus Cards other than their own.

§9-2.9. Distribution Type C.

a. Ticket Allocation
Based on determination of demand and overall student ticket availability the Committee on Campus Community shall allocate no more than 70% of available tickets for any game to Type C distribution, with the remainder distribution under the Type B guidelines for distribution.

b. General Characteristics
Type C ticket distribution shall be in nature of a long-term, overnight, organized wait to receive tickets, commonly referred to as “campout”.

c. Specific Procedures
The Committee on Campus Community shall adopt specific procedures and binding guidelines for the administration and execution of Type C distribution. Such guidelines must be adopted by the committee at least two (2) calendar weeks prior to a Type C distribution.

§9-2.10. Distribution Type D.

a. Operational Guidelines
Type D Ticket Distribution shall be reserved for extraordinary situations, where the Committee on Campus Community determines that existing distribution methods may be inadequate for the general welfare of the Student Body. Type D policies shall be adopted pursuant to the clause B invocation.

b. Invocation
The Committee on Campus Community shall be empowered to invoke Type D ticket distribution by a two-thirds vote of the committee at least seventy-two(72) hours prior to the game at a duly called public hearing.

§9-2.11. All Campus Card Failure.
If a student’s All Campus Card is denied when scanned, the student will have until 6pm on the day of distribution to have their card rescanned in order to pick up the student’s original ticket. The ticket will not be held past the 6pm. All Campus Cards and NC State Student Tickets are both required for NC State students to enter the RBC Center. Admission will be refused otherwise.

Section 2. This act shall become effective upon enrollment.

I hereby certify that this resolution was read twice and adopted in the North Carolina State University Student Senate, this 23^rd day of October 2002.
