4-Game Ticket Distribution to Be Held This Week

Recent victories could increase demand.

The Carolina Athletic Association will be distributing bracelets today, Wednesday and Thursday outside Kenan Stadium for four upcoming ACC home games.

Bracelets will be given out this week for the Feb. 8 game against Florida State, the Feb. 12 game against Virginia, the Feb. 25 game against N.C. State and the March 1 game against Georgia Tech.

Students should come to Gate 5 of Kenan Stadium from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. today and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday with a valid UNC ONE Card to receive bracelets. The bracelets, which should not be removed or tampered with, can be redeemed for tickets Saturday as long as tickets remain available.

The CAA will draw the "magic number" at noon Friday in the Pit. The person with the magic number will be the first number in Saturday's line.

Students should come to the Smith Center no later than 7 a.m. Saturday to check in to the line. The line will be arranged numerically into blocks of 100 students. Students absent during the mandatory line check will not be eligible to receive tickets.

Students can receive as many as two tickets for each of the four games. They must present a valid ONE Card for each ticket they receive. Tickets for lower-level seats and riser sections will be distributed randomly first.

Kris Willett, president of CAA, said she expects to have between 4,000 and 6,000 tickets available for each of the four games, adding that the number varies because of the sale of mini season packages to alumni and other fans.

But Willett said she also expects to distribute a lot of bracelets.

"We usually distribute between 4,000 or 5,000 (bracelets)," she said. "These are all ACC games, so we hope to give out more."

Willett added that students also will be more excited about the Tar Heels due to their recent wins against Clemson and highly ranked Connecticut and that there likely will not be tickets left over after the distribution.

This is the last ticket distribution before the Feb. 1 senior distribution for the game against Duke on March 9. It is the only distribution that features four games.

CAA officials said they have publicized this week's distribution by posting information on the CAA listserv and the CAA Web site, located at http://www.unc.edu/caa.
