A few weeks ago the University of Miami announced it was working with a company called Optionit to allow fans to secure face-value Hurricane football tickets by purchasing an "option" to buy the ticket.
Now rakontur and Optionit are partnering to give away:
- 2 tickets to this year's ACC Championship game (If UM is playing)
- 2 tickets to whichever Bowl game UM plays in this year

Step 3: Check THE U Facebook page on Tuesday, August 17th (the day of The U DVD release) to find out if you're one of the two randomly selected winners.
How OptionIt Works:
OptionIt is an official partner with the University of Miami but they are not a ticket broker. Instead, it’s like a reservation: they give fans an option to buy face-value tickets at a future date (without any obligation to follow-through on the ticket purchase). They offer options for UM postseason tickets as well as all UM regular season games for the next two seasons, including high-profile match-ups with Florida State (10/9/10) and Ohio State (9/17/11).
So, say you want tickets to a Bowl game in 2011 but you want to make sure you can get tickets without having to pay the marked up rates in the secondary market. You go to OptionIt, buy an option to buy the tickets, and when they go on sale, you have the option to buy them at face-value. You can even sell your option to someone else if you like (at whatever price you want).
