What You'll Learn
Earning points to increase chances of getting a ticket
University of South Carolina students can increase their chances of getting football tickets by earning reward points through the Cockpit Rewards app. Students can earn points by attending other sporting events, such as non-conference football and basketball games, which earn 2 points each, while conference games and other sporting events earn 1 point each. Clemson games are worth 2 points.
To earn points, students must have their Carolina ID card scanned at the gates of the sporting event. Points are also awarded based on grade level, with freshmen receiving 3 points at the beginning of the year.
The Cockpit Rewards app allows students to see what events they can earn points at, track their points, and complete the student ticketing process. The more points a student has, the higher their priority for receiving a ticket. Lower-level tickets are awarded based on reward points and seniority.
It is important to note that requesting a ticket does not guarantee a spot at the game. Students must also remember to claim their tickets during the designated claiming period and present their student tickets and CarolinaCard at the gate upon entry.

Requesting a ticket via the Cockpit Rewards app
To request a ticket via the Cockpit Rewards app, follow these steps:
First, download the Cockpit Rewards app, which is available on both iPhone and Android devices. Create an account using your University of South Carolina email address. You can then start earning points by attending other sporting events, such as volleyball and soccer games, which are worth one point each. Your attendance is recorded by scanning your CarolinaCard at the gate. The more events you attend, the more points you earn, increasing your chances of securing a student football ticket.
Once you have accumulated enough points, you can request a football ticket through the app. The window to request a ticket is typically from Friday the week before the game at 10 a.m. until Tuesday at 3:00 p.m. during game week. However, do note that requesting a ticket does not guarantee you will receive one. Tickets are awarded based on Cockpit Reward points, with lower-level tickets going to those with higher points and seniority.
On Wednesdays at 10 a.m., check your email to see if you have been awarded a ticket. If successful, you will need to claim your ticket between Wednesday at 10 a.m. and Thursday at 3:30 p.m. Your ticket can then be accessed through the Cockpit Rewards app, where you will find a barcode that you need to have ready to scan on game day. Ensure your phone is fully charged!
Remember, if you can no longer attend the game, you must cancel your ticket by Friday at 5:00 p.m. to avoid receiving a penalty strike. Two penalty strikes in a single season will result in losing your ticketing privileges for that season.

Claiming a ticket
To claim a ticket, students must first request a ticket through the Cockpit or SC Rewards app. The window to request a ticket is from Friday the week before the game at 10 a.m. until Tuesday at 3:30 p.m. of game week. Requests are prioritized and tickets are awarded based on reward points, with lower-level tickets going to those with more points and seniority. On Wednesdays at 10 a.m., tickets will be loaded into the accounts of students who requested and qualified for a ticket, and students will be notified by email.
Once notified, students must claim their ticket between Wednesday at 10 a.m. and Thursday at 3:30 p.m. After claiming their ticket, students can access it through the Student Rewards app, where they will find a barcode that can be scanned on game day. Students are reminded to ensure their phones are fully charged so that the barcode can be scanned. Students with lower-level tickets will enter through the 'Student Gate' at the north-east corner of Williams-Brice Stadium and will receive a wristband upon entry, which must be worn for the entirety of the game.
Students may be asked to present their CarolinaCard along with their student ticket at the gate upon entry. Failure to do so if asked by a university official will result in ejection from the game. Students are also expected to abide by the Gamecock Fan Code of Conduct, which includes conducting oneself with honor, dignity, and respect, and supporting players, coaches, and officials in a positive manner.
If a student is no longer planning to attend the game, they must cancel their ticket by Friday at 5:00 p.m. to ensure that their ticket can be reassigned. Failure to do so will result in a penalty strike, and two penalty strikes in a single season will result in the loss of ticketing privileges for the remainder of the season.

Cancelling a ticket
If you have requested and claimed a ticket but can no longer attend the game, you must cancel your ticket by Friday at 5:00 p.m. This deadline ensures that your ticket can be reassigned to another student. Failure to cancel your ticket by this time will result in a penalty strike. Two penalty strikes in a single season will cause you to lose your ticketing privileges for the remainder of the season, and four penalty strikes during your time at the University of South Carolina may lead to losing your student ticket privileges for the rest of your academic career.
To cancel your ticket, you can access it through the "Manage Tickets" page on the Student Ticket Account Manager. You can also use the SC Rewards app, where you will need the barcode ready to scan on the game day. If you have an iPhone, put the ticket in your Apple Wallet for easier access.
It is important to note that student tickets are non-transferable. If you are found distributing your ticket or attempting to use another student's ticket, you may lose your ticketing privileges.
