> There is apparently a new NCAA and/or ECAC rule requiring everyone in > attendance (including the bands) to have a ticket. I have no information about NCAA or ECAC rules on this.. or how the UW band handles it. However, I know that in many areas the FIRE CODE requires that every person in an auditorium, arena, etc either be an employee (signed in on a roster) or have a ticket. In some cases this is handled by giving the employees (numbered) staff tickets/passes. This is important in counting bodies to determine compliance with the maximum safe occupancy limit, and if a tragedy should occur, in determining how many people are missing. --david
