People can't complain about the crowd today

For what it's worth, my wife worries I'm going to get thrown out every game because I'm a little too vocal..., but I guess that's because I'm a fan.

I love it augoman. You're the type of fan that should be getting seated center court and down low. That's what I want to see on TV.

There are a lot of younger alumni sitting near me, and all it takes is a donation.  Every reseating year it gets tougher and tougher to maintain location, as the younger, well-heeled fans jump you with a donation.  

I would wager that 95% of young people sitting in the 10 center sections are all sitting in their parents' seats.  I know family after family who have had tickets forever and continue to get them, but typically the younger ones in the clan are using them.

As I did the math for "minimum" donors above, I can go the other direction.  Say you are 35 years old and considered "newbies," and have had tickets for 10 years.

You'd have 10+20, plus donating $100 each year (10+4) = 44 points.  In order to get to the 125 points you need to sit in those 10 prime sections, you'd need another 81 points.   You could donate $8100 in a re-seating year to bump yourself up that time, but those would depreciate to 32 points at the next re-seating, so you'd need to donate ANOTHER $4,900 to get back to 125 .. for another 2 years of prime seating.  (And you'd probably need 135 by then, because everyone is climbing the ladder.)

So .. you're talking over $13,000 in donations to stay in the center sections for 4 years.  

My point in that math is .. I'm highly doubtful there are many 35-40 year olds who are dropping that kind of generosity.  There are some, certainly.    If you see younger folks in those prime sections, most of them aren't using their own tickets.
