2018 Season Tickets

[bisonfanette]

They dont count the number of season tickets in an account. So lets say you were a MBB season ticket holder for ten years. You miss a year. You just lost 10 points because its based on Consecutive years.

That's right... they don't count the # of season tickets. You simply get one pt for every consecutive yeart... I knew that
And... ok... you miss a year & you loose your consecutive years pts. Thanks.

I thought it was my annual rejection letter. They just teased me.

Well for me I'm almost positive it was. They just worded it differently this year

I can verify that as it happened to me to get a better seat in the SHAC. Other people purchased the seat for me, and now its back in my name. 13 or 14 points gone, but hey I got the seat.

Did request have to specify what price range of seat was wanted?

IIRC it was the normal, interested in adding seats, interested in lower seats, interested in seats closer to midfield options with a comment box. In my comment box I specifically requested to know what the options were to move into an area near my tailgating group and I listed their section and rows because if I can't get in that area I'm staying put.

My guess is when I get the call I won't be going anywhere, but I figured I'd take a shot because we won't see this much movement for quite awhile.

I asked Josh about the 1800 number. He said it was the approximate number of requests. Not all requests asked for more tickets, some were just to possibly move. He didnt have a total seat request total.

Just got off the phone with the ticket office. I was told that the development ranking is meaningless as there could be many people with the same point total and they have more accounts on file now. Your total points is what matters.

I'm trying to figure out how the development ranking is meaningless unless it is somehow not directly connected to your priority points. If they are connected you would think it is a direct representation of where you are in the hierarchy of points and would mean a ton of money came in this year since our donation went WAY up this year and dropped a total of 29 spots in ranking since April 10th.

Is what he meant was that it's meaningless to think of as if you're the only one at your rank/the rank equals your actual place in line? You might have 50 points and be ranked 2,000, but there could be 500 people with 50 points like you so the 2,000 doesn't really tell you anything.

I would be surprised to hear that types of points aren't weighted so that there are really multiple ranking systems within the point totals to help with that. In the example I had, when they get to 50 points on the call list, who gets called first out of those 500?

The guy who requested first, the guy whose last name starts with A, the one whose 50 points all come from donations, the one with less donations but many years of Teamakers and football seats, or the one with the least dollars given but they have FB, VB and BB tickets? They're making that decision somehow, and I'd be shocked if it's by one of the first two options.

Good points and questions, and ones we may not get the answers to. Without knowing the ranking within the ranking(who gets called first when 20 people have 200 points) to me I take the step down in development ranking literal because it doesn't matter to me if it's because 20, 30 or 50 people now have the same point total as I do if I have to assume there is a possibility somehow I am last of those 50. If you are the first one to be called of those 50 then your ranking MAYBE doesn't match your literal ranking number but if your the last one it sure as hell could. Again without knowing the game within the game I say dropping in development ranking can't be a positive thing and therefore I can't say it doesn't mean anything to me to be "lower on the list".

I happen to have a .8 in my PP number. Thinking I’m not tied with anyone.

I actually added $10 to my donation this year to get away from the .8 that I had. I suspect that a lot of people have a decimal figure in their points total.
