Previously, I had front row of section 2 (upper corner, right above the entrance from business school/bookstore corner), on the aisle right at the top of the steps. I was thrilled when I bought them, because they were great seats in a reasonable price tier, and people were so down on the program that I was lucky enough to be able to get in on the ground floor because I had faith in Hurley to bring the program back to prominence. Pick time was 2:54 today and now I'm one section over, in the section directly next to the student section, on the aisle, row 7. As of earlier this week, my old seats and nearly 80% of the section were already gone. I suppose that my new seats aren't much worse than the ones I had before, and not that this is saying anything new, but its a joke that UConn ran this process the way that they did. I understand that if some seats are being affected that you don't want to only punish those Season ticket holders by pushing them to worse seats, but all this process did was allow newer, wealthier donors to cut the line and buy their way to better seats. I know I had the opportunity to donate more and boost my priority points, but having just had a kid, any tickets at all are a luxury right now, and I couldn't justify any additional donations. It just sucks that even though I bought my season tickets at a low point in the program (first year of Hurley right after we fired KO), let them keep my money for the seats during covid to help support the program, that I got screwed over. And this is after I never even got the opportunity to buy F4 tickets in Phoenix thru the school, because again, I hadn't donated enough (still made it to the games though). Hopefully someday I can work my way up to better seats, but just kind of sucks that I get to spend the foreseeable future walking past the seats I used to sit in, knowing that the school had told me for years I'd have them forever, only to then change its mind
