  • What incentives does Carolina Fever offer?
    Carolina Fever events present students with a wide range of incentives for attending sporting events at UNC for all 28 varsity sports. Prizes: Prizes can be earned by students who swipe-in at Fever events and stay the entire time, thus accruing points. (This will be tracked using GPS.) Available prizes may include exclusive Carolina Fever t-shirts, towels, water bottles, and more. The more points students have at the end of the school year, the more prizes they are eligible to receive. Prizes are distributed at the end of the spring semester and points will be able to be redeemed for prizes in the Carolina Fever section of the GoHeels app. Themes and giveaways: Unique themes and giveaways are common at Fever events. One-of-a-kind t-shirts, hats, and other items are frequently given out to the first students to arrive at the game. This free merchandise is often accompanied by free food. There are also various student section themes that Carolina Fever creates, like blackout games and 80’s night. Football Tickets: Football and Basketball tickets tend to be the primary interest of students that attend Fever events. However, only the top 200 students in the point rankings at the time of each football game are guaranteed 1 ticket to that game. Men’s Basketball Tickets: Football and Basketball tickets tend to be the primary interest of students that attend Fever events. However, only the top 200 students in the point rankings at the time of each basketball game are guaranteed 2 tickets to that game. Only one ticket is awarded to the top 200 students for the Duke game. Fun atmosphere: Carolina Fever events always create an increase in student attendance, which means an improved fan atmosphere. Each Fever event presents students with an opportunity to experience every unique sport at its very best. Cheering on the teams with a group of friends and classmates is an experiential incentive that Fever emphasizes. Students enjoy the chants and cheers that Fever organizes as well.
  • How does the point system work?
    Carolina Fever Points System: Fever Events: Every time you attend a Fever event, you earn points. To find our event schedule, visit www.carolinafever.co/schedule. You must attend a Fever event for its entire duration to earn full points, which will be tracked using GPS. Points Reset: Points reset after the last men’s home basketball game of the season. This occurs during the spring. Gain Points: Accumulate points during the year to stay in the top 200 at the time of each student ticket lottery. Top 200: Top 200 point-earners are reserved two Phase 1 men’s home basketball tickets and one ticket for Duke. Top 200 point-earners are also reserved one football ticket per home game. You must register for the student lottery by the time the lottery closes to receive your reserved tickets for both football and men's basketball. If you are not in the top 200: you are still eligible to receive prizes. Prizes are determined by how many points you have and are handed out at the end of the spring semester. Questions? DM us!
  • How do I ensure that I earn my points at a Fever event?
    Make sure you have the GoHeels app downloaded on your phone before arriving at a Fever event. Upon arrival, navigate to the Carolina Fever section of the GoHeels app. Once you have entered the stadium refresh the page by either tapping the home icon or pulling down slightly on the page. The app uses GPS to recognize that you are in attendance and your point total at the top of the page should update. Sometimes your GPS location will indicate that you are too far away from the stadium even if you aren't. In that case just keep refreshing until you receive your points. You must arrive and scan in prior to the posted game time to receive your first point. Receive additional points by staying the entire game and opening the app and scanning out after the Alma Mater. Some helpful tips and troubleshooting issues: Make sure your phone is charged, with good internet connectivity, and GPS enabled for the GoHeels app. Sometimes the app will not load immediately (especially with larger crowds); arrive earlier to allow adequate check-in time. Make sure that your points total is accurate and updated before you leave the stadium. If for some reason something goes wrong or you are having an issue, you can come talk to us at games, DM us, or fill out a point correction form to correct your points total.
