Orientation guide: Understanding the UNC Athletics student ticket lottery system

Ticket distribution, organized by the Carolina Athletic Association, is facilitated by a lottery system. The lottery distributes tickets to all men’s basketball games except those during winter break.

View the complete policy here.

The 2014-2015 ticket distribution policy:

1.There is no advantage to being the first to sign up, nor disadvantage to being the last. Students have two and a half days to register for the lottery.

2.Students who win the lottery are divided into three phases, which are allowed to enter the stadium at different times. Phase one enters one and a half hours prior to tip off. Phase two enters one hour prior. Phase three enters 30 minutes prior.

3.Tickets issued through the lottery are void at game time if not used. They are also not eligible for resale.

4.The top 150 members of Carolina Fever who sign up for the lottery will receive two tickets to the designated game, except for the Duke game. The top 150 members will receive one ticket to the Duke game.
