Forever Seats?

[Vancat]

You didn't get the email? Some of your family members have more priority points so they get the couch now - you get the stool in the corner.

No way. It's my forever couch.

You have to understand: The couch is getting old, it was time for a new couch — but it seats one less person. The only fair way to decide who gets to sit on it is to open up everyone’s piggy bank and give us all of the money. We’ll let you know in the coming months if there’s a stool available for you.

Couch is now a loveseat

we have some time to make our case to AD David Benedict. I'm not holding my breath, but I would like to think he would hear out a collective lobby of support from the season ticket holders impacted. its a conversation, if hes really willing to have it, that should be met. I will be speaking with my rep at the Wake Forest game this weekend and will see if this is a possibility. naïve, im sure, but helping seaston ticket holders land as close to where they have been is a goal worth pursuing

Don’t move me from a chairbacks to bleachers!!!

This is the first likely legitimate gripe. Anyone moved upstairs not only gets worse seats, but a worse seat, too.

Got a form email yesterday from my ticket rep reiterating that extra donations will help us to lock in good seats when they reshuffle, double priority points, yada yada yada.

I asked a bunch of the same questions I’ve posted on here…. Crickets. Huge surprise.

I believe the process will be similar to what they've been doing in recent years. Except much larger since they're seating the entire arena. It will be based on priority points, and not donor class.

I also don't think they want to reseat the entire arena every year. So if you make the required donation, you keep your seat going forward.

Informed speculation, but speculation nonetheless. I also don't think they're certain about anything right now.

The most important things for me, assuming we all lost our forever seats

1) We choose our own seats like we've been doing in our allotted time slot. They don't place us like the old days

2) They don't reseat every year

Just pat $50k and guarantee you get your seats.

I decided to shoot out an email to my ticket rep letting him know how I feel about this. I encourage you to do the same. I am thinking they may be assessing our reactions. Or maybe not, but it couldn't hurt.

I sent my ticket rep a detailed message earlier. He's been very responsive, but there is very little he can do. He said he will pass my opinions up.

My favorite part of the article is the link to this thread.

My life time serious radio purchase was just for the lifetime of the car

So maybe "forever" was for the lifetime of the seat - which is about to push up daisies.

I can guarantee you my seat's lifetime will go on as it is an upper bleacher seat.

Has anything been definitively stated with regards do those who do not currently have season tix being able to jump the line?

I have upper level seats at XL and from my perspective, if I have to move up a few rows or over a section because some from the bottom got bumped and they've donated longer/paid more that's understandable to me.

What would really upset me is if now I'm getting jumped in line by people who do not currently have season tix

 

[Waquoit]

My understanding is that only current Season ticket holders can jump you.

Season ticket holders will have first choice of seats. Once that process is done, anyone else can try to get the so you should be all set on that front

Thanks for the responses, I did reach out to ticket office yesterday and they confirmed the same. That's at least palatable to me.

 

[J187Money]

FYI, based on the UConn ticket website, there are 39553 donors to the HAF. 199 priority points has me sitting at 6294/39553. That does not inspire a lot of confidence that I will be able to get season tickets going forward without upping that number

I'm 1064 - so I should be good (for a while at least).

yep, metal, plastic and concrete have pretty good half lives

I forget is a AD donation for extra points tax deductible?

What about new people that pay more money as a donation to get seats and then by virtue of the domino effect I get bumped up elsewhere? So even though I had first choice they come in and pay more money, what happens? I don't really get it, seems to me they're trying to bring in more money, whether from existing ticket holders or brand new ones. So the new guy who pays more than me will be rewarded with a better seat. You guys are saying it doesn't work like this?
