Would UM students pay full GA price or still get a discount?

FWIW, here at UCF we have a different situation. We have a 45,000 seat stadium and 60,000 students. However, although attendance is getting better, our avg. attendance for non-big games is about 25,000. That's for everyone, not just students. Students can purchase a 6-game season ticket pkg for $60. But for many of the low attendance games, students get in free. For the games that are televised on a weeknight, faculty often get in free as well, to make the stadium look more full. For the games that sell out, there is a student lottery. Approximately 15,000 tickets are allocated for students, and I believe that the lottery winners get in free. If we continue to get better and do well in the "Big East" (whatever it's called now), then I'm sure tickets will become more expensive/harder to get for students (and everyone).
