For questions about the Campout, contact chair Morgan Donnelly. 2009 Campout System Information Sign up for Campout begins as soon as we return from break and Campout will be held January 16th on Lee Field just like last year. Students will be able to sign up in groups of at least 6 people and camp in 12'x12' spots with their own camping/sleeping gear. Checkpoints will be facilitated by swiping a student's ID card at one of several stations at the event. You can register online at tickets.ncsu.edu. Those successfully completing campout will receive email notification by the following Monday and see an electronic ticket in their locker at tickets.ncsu.edu within a week of the event. This year, 80% of student seats are being distributed through the campout process and the remaining seats go to the Ram Roast event, the Student Wolfpack Club, and the online ticket distribution. Additionally, loyalty points will factor into where a group is awarded seats at the game. Those camping out will be ranked according to their average loyalty points+checkpoints made."

Some questions...

Are the loyalty points for basketball only or total loyalty points (football, etc)?

This sucks about the 6 people group minimum, since a lot of my friends don't go to the basketball games. Would a person who didn't camp out but had a ton of loyalty points have a better chance at getting good seats than a group who's average loyalty was lower than that one persons? I'm assuming that the best seats period all go to the campers and wolfpack club, but still...

^yeah, i have a group of about 4 that go to most all the basketball games, and then an extra 4 or so that make most of the football games, bust just aren't interested in basketball as much. oh well.....i guess i'll just put everyone in and deal with where we get

I'm glad i got to attend the real campouts where you just lined up with your group and set up camp on starting in front of Reynolds.

This sounds more like a boyscout campout......

Do you guys get to have fires again yet?

1/5/2009 2:11:35 PM

No fires in January = frostbite for campers.

I suggest you start drinking. Now

real smart with a campout ending and then bball game 5 hours later. These campouts have gotten worse each year.

1/9/2009 4:33:36 AM

the first year of the new campout was pretty good, but thata why it sucks for everyone now

1/11/2009 12:41:31 PM

do we have to turn sheets in to witherspoon like the last 3 years? or has that changed?

1/12/2009 12:25:19 AM

Any chance I could join up with somebody for the campout? My friends are pussies and won't camp out.

1/12/2009 12:28:06 AM

You can with us and I can switch you to group leader because I have to work until 830PM. We shall see if we get our tickets or not.

1/12/2009 3:18:05 AM

gonna be fucking cold.

1/12/2009 7:06:51 AM

Yeah I saw a high in the low 20's and a low of 10-15...

1/12/2009 9:15:41 AM

lets just hope they have enough tickets for everyone who camps out

if any of the SG people are fucking stupid enough to not make sure

they most likely have a future with the alumni association

1/12/2009 10:20:31 AM

^I think 75% of the student tickets being given out for the game are going to campout people. Going to campout isn't a guarantee for tickets, but it's your best chance

1/12/2009 12:25:51 PM

I've been to every game so far and have emailed the campout group and SBP about why a group that potentially has an average of 5 points can have better tickets, while I am probably sitting up in the 3rd level.

Loyalty points, my ass. The campout winners should just get their names placed in with the few lottery winners and then tickets are distributed normally to them, rather than campers getting best seats.

Who else can I email to complain?

1/12/2009 12:41:50 PM

^Why don't you just campout?

1/12/2009 11:44:25 PM

If anyone still needs a group to join please send PM, we currently have 5 people. Really need 1 more.

1/12/2009 11:51:13 PM

Less then five hours and need to join a group for campout..... I have 5 loyalty points if anyone wants to let me join

1/13/2009 7:24:32 PM

Anyone know if there will be beaker shirts for sale this year?

1/13/2009 10:46:47 PM

If you've contacted Jay and Morgan, that's about it. Jay's in charge of student ticketing and Morgan is in charge of campout. I think you're just whining but anyway

1/14/2009 9:50:12 AM

camp out sure isnt what it used to be
man i had some great times out there for Dook and UNC back in the 90s

1/14/2009 10:05:36 AM

i dont campout because i am only 1 person. you need a group to do it. unfortunately, all the other mba students suck and havent even been to 1 game, although i have sent out emails and signed up as group leader for every game.

it would be one thing if i never tried to get other people to go, but there's not much i can do when my whole program doesn't give a damn about the basketball team.

1/14/2009 10:13:17 AM

^so just get your lottery ticket and don't complain. That or make new friends.

^^It's probably not what it once was, but it's going to get better

1/14/2009 10:36:44 AM

what do you wanna bet the school cancels it, the overnight low is going to be 9* fri night, without wind chill.

1/14/2009 8:26:56 PM

supposedly its getting moved inside maybe?

way to bitch out.

1/14/2009 8:28:38 PM

yea, but i mean its all because of liability, having students get hypothermia and possibly dying at a school sponsored event, when it could have been prevented would be a HUGE fucking deal, and would be some serious bad publicity for the university.

1/14/2009 8:34:30 PM

like the university gives a shit about the students and not its own ass

1/14/2009 8:40:21 PM

^thats what im saying, they dont want the liability and bad publicity issues, so they wont do it.

1/14/2009 9:08:35 PM

I can't really see them canceling the campout.

1/14/2009 9:12:18 PM

i don't see them cancelling it, but i do see them moving it(although im not sure where?) Having a couple thousand students in 9 degree weather for 12 hours though.......i dunno

1/14/2009 9:32:03 PM

People are going to freeze themselves outside for tickets to watch our team lose to our rivals by 40....

1/14/2009 10:42:46 PM

and thats the reason why none of my friends are going this year...

1/15/2009 12:37:13 AM

Word on the street is that they're talking about moving the campout into Reynolds because of parents sending emails and shit.

1/15/2009 11:16:56 AM

I was a group leader and I entered all my group members into the system correctly, but not all of them got e-mails to accept their invitations. So we got fucked and lost our campout spot for not having 6 people registered.

Its ok though, I'm not willing to risk my health for this year's team. I would have a few years back, but not now.

1/15/2009 11:54:54 AM

Talk about fairweather fans.

1/15/2009 12:20:19 PM
