Indiana rewards camped out students with vouchers

Updated:
BLOOMINGTON -

Indiana has given vouchers to students who have been camped outside Assembly Hall since Tuesday afternoon with hopes of getting tickets for Saturday's game against No. 1 Kentucky.

The vouchers were handed out Wednesday and will give those students first priority for the game. The doors open at 3:45 p.m. Students with season tickets can begin lining up outside Assembly Hall at 7 a.m. Saturday.

Those given vouchers were then asked to leave the area. School officials say no additional vouchers will be handed out.

School officials say they made the decision to keep students out of the cold, possibly inclement weather. They also recognized that this is a "dead" week when students are busy preparing for next week's final exams.
