Just show up for a predetermined number of seats or students grab tickets for games they never intend on attending?
No. You register and get your season ticket package just like everyone else.
That's how it was when I was at Bama, but I think we had to pay like $4 for the season. Tickets were part of registration.
You had to stand in line at Coleman during registration to pick up your tickets. One year the girl in front of me traded me her Penn State ticket for Southern Miss.

We paid $5 per game... last year iron bowl was in Birmingham. But again, our system wasn't just handing them out. I did get to skip the Coleman thing, since athletes had a preferred system of enrolling in classes.

I was there 1975-79. Tickets to Birmingham games were $1.00, and games in Tuscaloosa were free. Given that there were only about 15,000 students, there were plenty of seats for everyone. They were distributed on a date that was announced. The only reason to go stand in line was if you wanted away tickets. Also, all basketball games were free...you could just go pick them up whenever.
