D. GROUP SEATING
15. How do I request group seating with other students?
2009 Ohio State Football Student Group Seating Instructions
Online window open: Monday, June 15 ? Monday, June 29
E-mails have been sent to the OSU e-mail addresses of each student who has placed a ticket order in the reserved student seating areas. Students who have purchased reserved seating should follow the instructions at the bottom of this message to complete the group seating process. The group seating window will be open from 7:30am on Monday, June 15 to 4:30pm on Monday, June 29. To access the group seating window, students will need NEW login information (which is different from their Ticketmaster logins they used during their original ticket purchase). This login information was provided in the ?group seating? e-mail that was sent out just recently. Those that did not receive the e-mail with their login information are welcome to contact the OSU Ticket Office by e-mail at
[email protected], by phone at (614)292-2624 or in person at the Ohio State Ticket Office in the SE corner of the Schottenstein Center.
Students who have purchased seating in Block O will not be able to facilitate group seating for their tickets as Block O is a general admission first-come, first-served seating area. The group seating window will be available only for home games. Those that also purchased away game tickets, should refer to our website,
The Ohio State Buckeyes Official Athletics Site - OhioStateBuckeyes.com (and click on TICKETS) to view the 2009 Student Football Ticket Policies pertaining to away game ticket assignment and pick-up.
As a reminder, student seating is allocated based on the lowest class rank in the group. Class ranks used are the class ranks as of the end of winter quarter, and are defined by the University as the following:
Rank 0 Completed 0 credit hours of coursework at OSU as of the end of winter quarter 09
Rank 1 Completed 1-44 credit hours of coursework at OSU as of the end of winter quarter 09
Rank 2 Completed 45-89 credit hours of coursework at OSU as of the end of winter quarter 09
Rank 3 Completed 90-134 credit hours of coursework at OSU as of the end of winter quarter 09
Rank 4 Completed 135 credit hours or more of coursework at OSU as of the end of winter
quarter 2009
* Professional student class rankings are determined by each individual college. If you have any questions, please contact your college.
Each group should designate a group leader which will create the group and inform all desired members of the group name and password. The group leader may limit which class rank(s) may join his/her group. This way, if a group of seniors wishes to remain as such, the system will not allow students of any other rank to join their group. The group leader defines this during the Group Creation process.
If adjustments to your group seating selection need to be facilitated after you have joined a group, each student must edit his/her own order by following step D below. Changes to groups may only be made while the group seating window is open. Group changes will not be possible after the group seating window is closed.
