Why are student IDs required?
The reason for the ID policy is to ensure that all U-M students who want to buy season football tickets can do so. The demand for student tickets fluctuates each year. Instead of capping the number of student tickets available, U-M student leaders supported the idea of requiring a student ID to accommodate all student ticket requests. To encourage active student participation at football games, the athletic ticket office provides students with tickets at about half the public ticket price. It is only fair that if a non-student uses a student ticket, s/he should pay the public ticket price.
