GOVERNMENT BILL 67

 

A RESOLUTION TO BE ENTITLED

An act TO ESTABLISH A FAIR AND SOUND policy FOR STUDENT football TICKET DISTRIBUTION

 

Short Title: Sound Ticket Distribution Act         (Public)

Sponsored by: Senators Matthews

First Reading: October 15, 2003  Version Date: October 10, 2003

Referred to: __________________________________________________________.

 


WHEREAS,   demand has exceeded supply of student tickets for each conference home game; and,

 

WHEREAS,   it is unlikely that demand will decrease given the addition of Miami and Virginia Tech to the ACC; and,

 

WHEREAS,   it is in the interest of the student body to maximize the number of students in student seating; now, therefore be it

 

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

 

Section 1.        Student Body Statutes §9-2.2 and §9-2.3 shall be struck and replaced with the following:

 

§9-2.2. Football Ticket Distribution.

a.        Overall Procedure:
On the first day of distribution, members of the Campus Community Committee 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 6, including guest tickets as per §9-1.8. Tickets are distributed in random order.

b.       Distribution Procedure:
All students wanting tickets to home football 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 Campus Community Committee and Campus Police Officers can revoke any ticket privileges from nonconforming students.

c.        Guest Tickets:
Guest tickets may be available for non-conference football games only.  A student can purchase one guest ticket per valid All Campus Card with exceptions to be determined by the Campus Community Committee prior to the football season.  Guest tickets may be eliminated from any non-conference game at the discretion of the Campus Community Committee provided notice is given at least 18 calendar days prior to the game.

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 Carter-Finley Stadium.

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.

f.         Exceptions:
Certain games will not follow this policy due the extenuating circumstances. These games will be identified by the Campus Community Committee and the Athletics Department. The guidelines for these games will be posted at least two weeks prior to the game via tickets.ncsu.edu.

 

Section 2.            This act shall be effective on December 1, 2003.
