Instead, officials expect that students will be lining up in hoards outside the ticket office at the Smith Center, clamoring for tickets to Saturday's highly anticipated game against N.C. State University.
About 12,000 student tickets are available for the game, but students asking for tickets Wednesday or Thursday will be disappointed, said Kris Willett, the Carolina Athletic Association president. "I expect we will sell out on Tuesday," she said.
Student ticket distribution will follow the same method as it did for the Sept. 14 game against the University of Texas, which sold out in less than eight hours, Willett said.
From 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday, students can go to the ticket office to receive randomly distributed tickets until the supply is depleted.
A valid UNC ONE Card must be presented for each ticket received. A single student can show up to six ONE Cards.
If more than six students want to sit together, several students carrying ONE Cards must go to the Smith Center as a group.
All general admission tickets for the game already have been sold. But guest passes are available at $35 each. Students can purchase one guest pass with each student ticket received.
A single student may only pick up six tickets -- either all student tickets or a combination of student tickets and guest passes.
Applications for block seating are due by noon Monday. The block tickets will be handed out between 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. today.
