1.0 ONLINE STUDENT TICKET DISTRIBUTION
1.1 Students reserve tickets online at https://www.ticketreturn.com/49ers for regular season men’s
basketball home games. [Online registration for the NCAA men’s basketball tournament is determined
on a game-by-game basis.]
1.1.1 Students login to their account using their Student ID 800#. The default password is set as guest.
1.1.1.1 Students who have lost or misplaced their Student ID must purchase another Student ID Card.
Students can get a replacement ID at the ID Office. A Student ID is mandatory to enter any Charlotte
49ers Athletic Event with a student ticket.
1.1.2 Currently enrolled, athletic-fee paying UNC Charlotte students are eligible to receive one (1) ticket
each to men’s basketball home game.
1.2 Students have secure, personal accounts from which to: (a) manage their account information, (b)
track their attendance history, (c) view their Loyalty Point total (see 3.0 for details), (d) print their ticket
(e) cancel a previously claimed ticket, and (g) purchase student guest tickets for basketball, if available
(see 7.0 for details).
1.2.1 Students can elect to receive an automatic email reminder at the beginning of each ticket request
period by checking the “reminder email” button under their Student Status Information on the Student
Information page of https://www.ticketreturn.com/49ers.

Students can elect to opt-out of receiving additional emails regarding athletics events by checking the
“disable emails” button under their Student Status Information on the Student Information page of

requests (e.g. email notification of being awarded a ticket, being placed on the waitlist, etc.).
1.3 The reserve period for each men’s basketball home game begins on the Monday of the week in
which the game occurs. There is no advantage to being the first student to reserve a ticket, nor is there a
disadvantage to being the last student to reserve a ticket.

the student is to sit in. A marked aisle for that section will be the only way into that section.
