2009 Georgia Tech Football Student Ticket Policy
The GTAA and SGA have partnered to develop a process that will alleviate confusion and provide a more systematic procedure for student ticketing. The process is being developed with two main tenets: 1) allow all Georgia Tech students equal opportunity to attend every GT home game, and 2) procedural efficiency in order to fill the stands with students wearing White & Gold!Georgia Tech students must meet one of the following criteria to be eligible to claim/purchase a student ticket for games at Bobby Dodd Stadium:
1. Must be an enrolled full-time student
2. Graduate/Intern/Co-Op/Part-Time students must verify Athletic Fee payment through the Bursar's Office
The list of eligible students is provided to the GTAA by GT Registrar. This list is refreshed and uploaded nightly - therefore, students submitting Athletic Fee payment to the Bursar's Office may not register for tickets until the following business day.- Students are eligible to receive one (1) ticket to each Georgia Tech home football game
- A total of 9000 student tickets will be available
Online registration information is located at the bottom of this Student Ticket Policy document. You are encouraged to carefully read the entire document in order to identify which ticket option best suites your needs and to verify all necessary steps for registration!Go Jackets!
Eligible students have two options for student tickets at Bobby Dodd Stadium:
OPTION 1: 1st & 10 RESERVED SEASON TICKETS
- Approximately 6000 reserved season tickets will be available.
- The cost of a reserved season ticket is $36. See below for payment details.
- A valid student Buzzcard is all that is required for admittance - there will be no actual ticket.
- All reserved season tickets will be located in the lower North Endzone between sections 112 & 120.

1) Register as part of an organizational group - see below for details on group registration and sign-up procedures
2) Join The Swarm
3) Register individually and become a `Helluva Student Ticket' group member (details below)
- Similar to 1st & 10 priority seating in previous seasons, organizations will have the option to register a Group for members to join and receive a reserved seat for the entire season. All groups must be 'pre-registered' prior to any member signing up for the group online. To register, please complete the following information and email to studenttickets@athletics.gatech.edu:
