2018 Season Tickets

[ByeSonBusiness]

I got my letter today. Since those that already have tickets can request to go up to the full allotment of 12 tickets, I'm guessing those are the guys that are going to get 95% of these new tickets. Those guys will have the most points by virtue of them already paying the TM seat fee for the existing tickets.

So, because you already have tickets and could use those seat fees to build up points you will be rewarded with more tickets. Someone didn't really think this through all the way. There probably is no way to be totally fair on this are sure as hell no way to keep everyone happy, but I'd bet this is going to take mega points to get anything.

Anyone got a guess as to how many points this will take? I'm thinking 400 and up, but then what do I know?

What really should happen is limit it to new people and only 4 to an account. Spread the wealth.

That's idiotic. Should start with the folks that don't have tickets.

Alot of those people already have 12 tickets. Plus I dont think many will be as piggy as you think. I know people who are only going to request 2 more because they wanted others to have a shot at tickets. But 567 tickets isnt really that many to start with.

I would like to see them award the teammakers that either received last year or requested this year single game tickets. They have been giving for a chance like this and they should now be rewarded. Plus it then shows others that giving something is rewarded when seats become available and will bring in the next group of people that are not donating to donate some if anything becomes available in the future.

I also suspect if they go by total priority points there will be some of the full and partial scholly people move to cheaper seats as they have been increased a lot and some are pushing their limits but were stuck as nothing else was available.

I think this one section is likely to cause a lot of churn in the current seating. People upgrading to this section, opening up their old seats...and so on down the line.

Without the tax benefit, there could be a downturn in seats previously requested also.

Thats why they will call you at an appointed time to talk about seating opportunities.

Minor loss for students, sounds like they weren’t claiming all the seats all the time anyway, their expressed priority was money and they are getting a small reduction in fees. Big win for athletic department. Basically locking in another 500k annually without increasing volatility in revenue streams.

With tax changes, and price increases at the top and high demand to get in the building, I agree this creates opportunity for both upgrades and downgrades as well as new season ticket holders.

I think I missed one home game in 5 years while at school so part of me thinks it’s unfortunate there are fewer student seats but on the other hand this lines up with the priorities expressed by their leaders. seems mostly good all the way around.

The ones with high points are at high ticket counts already.

I'm guessing 280 points gives you a shot at some of these.

I dont think a lot of people will be getting 12 at a time. You would be incresing your payment with 12 additional seats by a minimum of $6,624 and a maximum of $20,184. I mean, I guess there people that have that kinda cash burning a hole in their pocket but likely people will get fewer.

As has been mentioned, the lack of a tax deduction might factor in too
