Reseating 2009 Thread

[muguru]

Unless you are the type of person that doesn't get up more than once a game from your seats and doesn't like to deal with others constantly asking you to move because they go to the bathroom/concessions/etc every 10 minutes.

I'd much rather be the one being asked to move, then to be the one asking to have people move and tripping over their feet and beers on my way out. That's also why you sit upstairs, in a mostly empty row, then it's not an issue.

Thrilled!  Loved the experience of my first reseating (got my first season tickets last yer).  Grabbed Sec: 101, Row: GG at 5:30 p.m. last night.  I know most like middle of the court so they can see what they see on TV, but I like seing the physical play underneath up close, and definitely want opposing players and the refs to HEAR my comments.

i got my exact same seats this morning. that is cool with me.

I'm not sure if I'm mad or impressed that a first-year ticket holder picked more then two hours ahead of us.

He wrote a book about MU basketball.  That's worth like 100 B&G points.

Just got back from the reseating at the Al. Had a 1:44 p.m. on Saturday. Was able to upgrade my two seats slightly from Sec. 205 row Y to 206 row M. There are a few lower bowls left but this process ends Tuesday and they will be gone by end of day today or Monday. MU was well prepared and had helpful folks on hand. Was able to zero in on a couple different options prior to my time. All in all a good experience.

Just secured my front row tickets with $1 beers. 

Albeit with my DirecTV package out here in Boston, but still decent nonetheless

Or are they taking Sunday off??

Yes, Sunday is an off day; no reseating.

OK, which one of you guys decided that you absolutely needed to select seats 13-16 in the last row of section 413?  Row X?  Really? 

[Silky]

I only take two seats. In the past they did not encourage me to take any more. This year they asked me three times in the reseating process if I wanted two more seats. So they definately were pushing it. With the donation level per seat you have to make donations to keep up. In my case I have to donate $375 a seat for my two seats, which comes to $1,500 in two years. Someone else taking 4 seats at my level will have to donate $3,000 in two years. If I do not doing anything else, I will fall 15 points behind the person with four seats.

Can you explain how you will fall 15 points behind?

[mu_hilltopper]

Answer: $1,500 in donations = 15 points.

Group of 7, got tickets in 441, Rows F and G. Was quick and painless.

[MU gimp ONE]

got my seats and the whole process was about a minute.  very painless, but glad it's over.  the suspense of checking to see if my seats every hour was getting old.  very well done i think

[Daniel]

The application was slick - very well done.  High grade on the app!  I missed out on getting my same seat as lasat year up in 420 Row C.  Have friends down the row in C.  So bummer.  But got a single seat is same section in the A Row, so not all that bad.

QUESTION: I never received a confirming email, and the seat I selected is now BLUE on the chart.  Is this correct?  Anyone have an insight into this??

They must be selling more seaon tickets this year than last - it seems.  Hope so

[Tom Crean's Tanning Bed]

Did my group's about 5:45ish.  Same spot as last two years; section 428 Row C Seats 5-8.

Chatted with Brian Bowsher for a little bit tonight, and he said Season ticket sales ARE up from the previous two seasons. I am shocked at what little is left in the upper bowl. Including whoever it was that took my seats from last year in 441(I hate you!!! ). I don't pick until tomorrow, and I am not thrilled about what's left. but, the plus side to that is more season ticket holders, which is a good thing. You will also notice there are still surprisingly(at this point in the process) quite a few lowers left. Brian said he's noticed more people moving upstairs this year, and he didn't know if that was because of the price of the lower seats, or that people are realizing sitting downstairs behind the basket just isn't that great.

[Daniel]

Thanks - I wll wait a littl emore for the email!  It's almost 3 hours....thanks a lot- feel better now.  Do you know when we are suppoed to pay the balance?  In the Fall?

The balance is "due" in July, however this year, they are offering the ability to spread out payment up to 6th months. Your monthly payment would happen on the 15th of every month, through December. Me like.

Re-seated at 5:45 today, sitting with Tom Crean's Tanning Bed and others in 428, row C.

My time was 6:55 last night, 18 pts I think but what I determined was that the 9$ seats are much more popular than the 15$ or 25$ and there were still a handful of lower bowls available. Recession I guess?

I lost my seats as well, was front row in 9$ section now H.

[warriorgal23]

My time was at 7:20pm last night...only 14 points for me since I'm not a student or an alumni.
I was upset my $9 seats in the 400 level were already gone.
Since we actually go to all the games we're spolied and didn't want to go up much further. Instead of saving money with the $99 deal, we ended up upgrading a section over and ended up spending more than last year...
ooops. I wish if we wanted to keep the same seats, we could just pay a little extra to keep 'em. I mean it's not like we're in the 200 level or anything...
