Policy
Each Texas Tech student on the Lubbock campus, including all undergraduate,
graduate, law and medical students enrolled in four (4) or more hours have
the $52 athletics fee automatically applied to their tuition and fees. This
enables access to all Tech sporting events.
Each student at any satellite campus (Amarillo, El Paso, Junction, etc.)
has had the fee waived from their tuition due to the fact they live outside
of Lubbock. Students at these campuses that wish to add the fee can contact
Student Business Services at (806) 742-3272. Please request an 'Option To
Pay' form to have the fee added to their tuition.
Any student enrolled in three (3) hours or less is not eligible to pay or
receive the sports package. Students in three or less hours are not
considered full time students and are not eligible for fees that provide
benefits to full time students. The sports package is considered a benefit.
These students may still purchase guest tickets. More information on guest
purchases is provided below.
New for 2010 - Texas Tech Athletics has announced a special reserved football season ticket offer for currently enrolled Texas Tech students. The Athletic Department is offering 1,000 seats in sections 109-111 and 113-115, the new sections located in the northeast and northwest corners of the stadium, to Texas Tech students who wish to purchase a reserved seat. Texas Tech students can purchase two (2) reserved season tickets per ID at a 20% discount over what is being offered to the general public. That means that for $120, Tech students can reserve a seat for all six home games, including Texas, for the 2010 football season. The Texas game alone is $98, if offered at all, on an individual game basis.
"The Athletic Department wants to provide for students who are married, want to tailgate, or maybe want to sit together as a group of friends, or simply want a reserved seat, an opportunity to go ahead and reserve a seat for the entire season", said Senior Associate AD Craig Wells. "Athletics is providing additional sections outside of the regular student section to offer this opportunity and students are only eligible to purchase in this area if they have paid their athletic fee."
There is a lot of excitement from the general public attributed to the generous pricing in these areas, so students are encouraged to reserve their seats early. In addition, students wishing to sit as a group should arrange to come in together to order their seats. This offer is good until the 1,000 seat limit is reached or the sections reach a sold-out status. Tickets are on sale now.
All policies and changes to the student ticket policy were approved and
supported by the Board of Regents, University Administration and the Student
Government Association.
Guest Tickets
Additional seats for student's guests are available in the Athletic Ticket Office through the normal purchasing channels, however, these seats are NOT located in the student section. Tech students are allowed to purchase up to four seats in certain areas at a discounted price, per availability. These tickets must be purchased with a valid ID at the ticket office. Student section seating is reserved for full-time Texas Tech students only.

RAIDERS SHARING, RAIDERS CARING
SGA Teams with Athletics to provide tickets to kids over the holidays
Texas Tech Athletics and the Student Government Association are teaming up to provide tickets for underprivileged kids to men's and women's basketball games over the Christmas break. Texas Tech students pay an athletic fee each semester and swipe their ID for admission at athletic events. Traditionally, student attendance declines over the Christmas break as students head home for the holidays. Tech Athletics is giving the students an opportunity to "donate" a ticket to those games simply by electing to do so online.
"In the spirit of giving, the SGA is encouraging students to take just a few minutes to go online and donate their tickets. It's an easy way for Tech students to make a difference in the lives of kids in the community over the Christmas break," said Suzanne Williams, SGA president.
To donate their tickets, students must login to their raiderlink account, click on the MyTech (for students) tab, and select "Raiders Sharing, Raiders Caring". Select the games you wish to donate and the Athletics department will make sure to make the tickets available for underprivileged kids in Lubbock and the surrounding communities (up to 500 per game). Games available over the student break include Dec. 21 WBB vs. Mercer, Dec. 22 MBB vs. Stanford, Jan. 1 MBB vs. McNeese State, Jan. 2 WBB vs. Savannah State, and Jan. 3 MBB vs. UTEP.
Non-profits who are interested in receiving these tickets should contact Garrett Tressler, Assistant Marketing Director for Texas Tech Athletics, at 742-1195 or garrett.tressler@ttu.edu to get on the list.
**Update** - below are comments from groups and participants who received tickets over the holidays generously donated by the Texas Tech student body.
"I visited with about seven participants for one of the games. She said it was a wonderful experience for her girls, that they really never got to do anything on the campus and that they couldn't believe how nice it was inside. And during the game they had major discussions about how nervous they would be if they were on the court. She said they were so excited (pre-teen, teen girls) that they hollered for both teams!"
I gave tickets to a father and son who only get to see each other on weekends and are sometimes at a loss of what to do with money so tight for the father. We actually went to the game with them. This little boy Zach, had his Tech jersey on that morning waiting to go to his first Tech game. He waited anxiously Saturday until time to be picked up. I have never seen such a pumped up third grader! He sat wide-eyed the whole game never moving from his seat. We received many thanks for the tickets and I just wanted to pass them on to you guys.
TEXAS TECH ATHLETICS RECOGNIZES STUDENT ATTENDANCE CHALLENGE WINNERS
Students rewarded for non-conference basketball attendance
Texas Tech Athletics launched a student attendance challenge in November to reward students who attended a majority of the non-conference games. Students who attended six non-conference men's games AND four non-conference women's games will now receive a special admission card that will gain them early admission, through a designated entrance, to men's and women's premium conference games. Those games include Texas, Texas A&M, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State for men and Texas, Texas A&M, Oklahoma and Baylor for women.
"We want to reward the commitment some of our students make to support the basketball programs by allowing them early admission and a chance to pick their favorite seat to the premium conference match-ups before the general student body arrives," said Craig Wells, Senior Associate Athletics Director.
Ten students completed the challenge. Tech Athletics would like to recognize Riley Trotter, Kierra Wormley, Matthew Stephens, James Sikes, Orlando Espino, Dakota Bowen, Peyton Aufill, Kevin Braidy, Lydia Abdouch, and Brandon Northcut for their attendance and support of Texas Tech men's and women's basketball.
