Beginning at 6:30 a.m. Tuesday, Sept. 2, students at Coastal Carolina University can obtain tickets to the first football game. They will be distributed in the Student Center on a first-come basis, and lines are expected to begin forming early.

The season opener will pit the Chanticleers against Newberry College on Sept. 6 at 7 p.m..

Full-time students can receive one student ticket free of charge with a valid Coastal ID card. They can purchase ONE guest ticket for the student sections of the stadium (107, 108, 125 and 126) for $10 per ticket..

Because there are no reserved seat assignments in the student sections, holders of student tickets and/or student guest tickets will have access to these seats on a first-come basis. After those tickets are given out and sold, tickets will be issued for the freshly-turfed Hill in the end zone, which can accommodate around 800 students, according to Ken Faircloth in the athletics department. Students may bring blankets to sit on, but chairs will not be allowed..

Stadium gates open 90 minutes before kickoff. There is no re-entry for fans leaving the stadium during the game. .

Alcoholic beverages will not be allowed at or around the stadium, and students under the age of 21 are not legally permitted to be in possession of alcoholic beverages.
