Anyone else wondering why so many seats are gone? It's supposed to start tomorrow. Wonder if big time donors went in already.

Something is not right about this. Before the selection started there was missing seats.Very confused how there are so little lower bowl seats left. It’s only day 1? This is beyond bizarre
Imma keep it a buck with y’all, AD David Benedict is sketchy. He is the opposite of translucent with the fan base.BUMP. I've heard high donors are complaining about the select process this year. Seems like seats are missing before the first day.
I have this hunch that they sold off blocks of seats to 3rd party sellers before letting the donors pick seats.Imma keep it a buck with y’all, AD David Benedict is sketchy. He is the opposite of translucent with the fan base.
Is it worth emailing the athletic department and asking why there are so few seats available? I have 6-7x the points I had last year and select in the middle of the process. I feel like I will end up in the upper bowl after being in a lower corner last year.
Sorry I can't agree with you although I hope you are right.Fake News - Relax. I selected yesterday in the afternoon. There were tons seats in lower level including the ones i had last year. I selected mens and
women's at both gampel and XL. I donated $1,000 this year which isn't too much.
There's nothing to agree with here - not an opinion. What I stated was fact. Yes i have many points as I've had tix since 82 and
have donated large amounts. From what I saw there were many seats on the 100's, not in the middle but everywhere else
New system of rewarding loyalty for number of years you have been donating and buying tickets isn't retroactive. So in a sense my 37 years don't get rewarded.again not true. Every year a portion of it resets, But you still get credit for your past donations. Sorry you have so much hate for
someone that it causes you to not buy your tickets, too bad

That doesn't appear to be true.. Priority Points
>>PRIORITY POINTS ARE AWARDED ON THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA:
>> HISTORICAL POINTS: Priority points earned prior to the 2017-18 giving year will be maintained. We will not recalculate points based on the new criteria. In other words, previous season ticket purchases and years of consecutive giving will not earn points retroactively but will earn points moving forward. Points earned in the new system will be added a donor's current, accumulated point total.<<
- Unrestricted giving to the Division of Athletics
- Restricted giving to the Division of Athletics
- Seat Donations
- Consecutive years of giving to the Division of Athletics
- Season Ticket Purchases (football, men's and women's basketball, men's ice hockey and men's and women's soccer)
- Being a UConn graduate (main or regional, undergraduate or graduate) *
- Being a former UConn student-athlete *<<
>>CONSECUTIVE YEARS OF GIVING TO ATHLETICS*: Ten (10) points will be awarded for each year of consecutive giving to the Husky Athletic Fund. The first points earned for consecutive years giving would be in a donor's second year contributing. Donors will not have technically given in consecutive years until they have occurred in back-to back years. A minimum gift of $100 each year is necessary to qualify. Earned points may decrease if a donor does not donate to the Husky Athletic Fund (a minimum of $100) in consecutive years. In this scenario, the donor will lose consecutive years of giving priority points previously accumulated.,,
My point was the new system gives the following:well i guess I'm an outlier then, bc I'm certainly being rewarded for years giving Money. If you have just been getting seats and donating nothing, yes then you're out of luck. But they certainly still reward years of giving
Yes but it wouldn’t mean that much more because it would be the same for everyone who has been givingMy point was the new system gives the following:
Consecutive Years of Giving *10 points/ yearSeason Ticket Purchases
(Football, Men's Basketball, Women's Basketball and Men's Ice Hockey)2 points per ticket purchasedSeason Ticket Purchases
(main or regional; undergraduate or graduate)50 points (one-time)UConn Former Student-Athlete **100 points (one-time)
For me that would be 370+50= 420 more points than I already have if it was retroactive.
I realize that, but it would help keep some of us long time fans and donirs ahead of someone who comes in and lays down a big donation.Yes but it wouldn’t mean that much more because it would be the same for everyone who has been giving
Some of us non-casuals got special 11:11 am start times and bought em all up. Notice Chief is hiding the date/time he got.I have this hunch that they sold off blocks of seats to 3rd party sellers before letting the donors pick seats.
