STATESBORO — After announcing Paulson Stadium would have limited capacity to satisfy social distancing guidelines, Georgia Southern announced Friday they’ll be using a lottery system to distribute the student tickets.
Students are eligible to win two tickets. Due to social distancing measures in place, the stadium is operating at a reduced capacity of, up to, 25 percent.
“We can offer a higher percentage (32 percent- not including band and cheerleaders) of tickets to our students through a lottery system.” said Georgia Southern Athletics.
Students can enter the lottery at GSEagles.com/StudentTix.
There are a few stipulations and things to remember when it comes to the lottery:
Student tickets can only be used by current GS students from all three campuses.
Games will be accessible until the published cut-off date
Only sign up for games you wish to attend
Lottery sign-ups will end approximately four days before each game
Winners will be notified the day of the selections and students will have until the end of that business day to claim their tickets
If you sign up for the lottery and win a ticket, but you realize you can no longer attend that specific game, you will have until 8 a.m. two days prior to the game to indicate you do not want the ticket.
