Some brilliant employee(s) at Tech decided to do away with student IDs as the pass for students entering the games.

Now they students are required to go to LATechTix.com on their phone and log in with their student email. Every home game week they'll receive a text message to claim their ticket for the upcoming week's game. A barcode will be sent to their phone at a designated time and that is what they will show to enter the game. FWIW, they will also be able to PURCHASE guest tickets using this "platform".

Can't make this stupid crap up. I guess they were having a problem with too many students attending?
