A friend offered to buy my student ticket from me for the Michigan game this coming season. My question is, could he get in using my BuckID even though he looks nothing like me?

I think, technically, that if your friend is not a student himself then you are supposed to upgrade the student ticket to a general public ticket by paying the additional cost of the admission price. Any faculty or staff can give/sell their ticket to any other faculty or staff member and any student can give/sell their ticket to another student without "upgrading" a ticket...the name on the ticket does not need to match the name on the ID, but I believe it is actually supposed to be the ID of the person entering the game (basically, an actual student or faculty member using a discounted ticket).
But having said that...I don't really think the Red Coats (ticket takers) or Yellow Coats (security) even look at the IDs. As long as you have a student ID with a student ticket, then I would find it highly doubtful that someone would stop you from getting in even if they noticed the discrepancy.
It's probably way too time consuming when trying to admit 101,000 fans to look that close, plus I'm sure there is some grey area where you are allowed to give your ticket to a spouse/family member, etc. without upgrading, so all-in-all your friend should likely have no problems.

Yes, it shouldn't be a problem. The ones that check your Buckid usually give it a quick look thats it. They can't afford any more than that given the volume of people that rush the gates 30 mins before kickoff. My brother (who attends Purdue) has done this multiple times using my friend's Buckid and hasn't had any problems. I just highly recommend that when he goes in that it is during a time when the gates are flooded with people.

No problem. My 300lb uncle gets in with my 110 lb g/f's id and I don't think they look anything alike.
As long as you have a valid id you will be fine. Even better if the id matches the name on the ticket.

I guess now that it seems your question has sufficiently been answered, I have one for you:
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING SELLING YOUR TICKET TO THE MICHIGAN GAME FOR !?!?!

I was told the name on the Buck ID has to match the name on the ticket. Although any one can use a Buck ID. If you are still in doubt just call the ticket office 1-800-go-bucks.

That should answer all your questions.
As long as you can flash any Buck-ID at the gate, you're fine. Even without one you're fine at least 50% of the time. They never look at a name or picture.
