My HAF rep said there's 15 $1MM donors. It was said when I questioned why so many seats were unavailable to the rest of us. They must have big families to go with their big portfolios.Exactly what I speculated
Although there must be more million dollar donors than I thought
Lube-freeWham Bam Thank you Ma'am.
This is Lew Perkins 2.0, just feels worse this time.When I started working my last job, before retirement, I met two women who were big supporters of UConn athletics, and attended games at the Field House, and then were donors to the new Gampel Pavilion being built. They had great seats, lower level, and soon enough, were slowly getting pushed out to make way for bigger donors. When I told them I had season tickets, they both warned me that there was no loyalty for the fans. I've been donating since the late 90's and finally, with the forever seats, I got prime seats, and I loved them. It was a fun ride, but now I think of these women and how right they were.

What email are you referring to?In the what should be a premature email (before seat selection ends) on the $12,500 seats yesterday, is this UConn reaction to people being pissed off by offering them an option - so now it’s the consumer’s fault if they are still unhappy? Or is it just the same tone deaf UConn behavior towards its customers? Or is it a desperate legal offer of your seat for life just at a much higher price, but in hopes of protecting UConn against a class action?
What email are you referring to?

Not sure I ever heard a woman say thisWham Bam Thank you Ma'am.
that pandemic donation we made now sticks in my craw big time.One of my biggest peeves, people who donated during the pandemic when there were no games received no bonus points
Instead people who donated more by March 31st did. That's just not right
I, BTW, fall into both categories. But I wanted extra credit for donating when we couldn't go to games

You login to your uconn account. In your account page there should be a tab for 2025-2026 seat relocation. When you click that there should be a tab up top that says select. From there you should be able to view what's there nowI’m supposed to pick Thursday AM, but when I log into the system, it doesn’t even give me the option to view the seat selection process process. Did anyone else have the same issue?
I reached out to the sales reps for help too, so hopefully they can help me soon!
Make sure you are on a laptop.
