Re-seating times

[NotAnAlum]

Does anyone know if yellow means there are no longer 2 seats available together or just that there are only a few seats left?  They wouldn't let you pick 2 seats in a row and then have them be separated right?

[Ardmore Mug]

From what I understand: Yellow means seats STILL available in row..Nothing about  being together or where in the row those seats are.. Also heard you will know JUST the row you get when you're done picking. You won't know EXACT Seat assignments until like July .. We pick like 4 pm today, 6/9...

[MU72491]

yellow means that there are still a couple seats left in the row, usually like 4 or 2 left depending on how many total seats there are in the row

Yes...but the reason I suspect that MU won't tell you your exact seats is that they will try to match requests to be seated together.  For example, if there are two single seats open in a row but they are not continuous, MU will rearrange requests to fill the row so everyone sits together, starting with the middle and moving out to the aisles where the higher points are anyway.

the real reason you cant select your exact seat is to protect the people who donate and write off the donation in their taxes.  If you donate and pick the exact seat then its not as much of a donation but just paying for a seat

Yes, we know that from the letter.  And, that delay of notification is a nice way to tell the state that MU complied.  

But, it also gives MU an opportunity to fill in rows, fix disconnects. For example, I have had an empty seat next to me in the lower bowl for years as it is an odd number of seats row.  The only time MU sold that seat was to me who bought it at single games prices for big games without a seat donation.  So if everyone in my row bought in twos or fours, and remember there is an odd number in that row, that single is wasted. Now, MU can fill those gaps with a two and a three, and move the four down or up a row to complete that row which is even.  

So to the poster's question, if MU has two seats in a row, even though on their computers those seats are not together as of today (people requesting their old seats), MU has the flexibility to seat you together now while still giving the priority to the higher points.  So, pick your row and seat preference and MU will do their best to fulfill it.  

They actually have more flexibility now than before....and more of a chance to maximize their revenue.  In my case, I bought that ticket, for example.

It also is a sales tax issue. The state collects sales tax on the sales price of the tickets. They get no sales tax on the seat donations. Lower bowl $600 mandatory donation being re classed as ticket price results in $30 sales tax being added to price.

oh, dang.
even though I called  because I couldn't be there, and clearly gave my preferences and scenarios, they goofed.
may actually end up in worse seats.

don't mind the on-line seating- but I guess having someone from the office wasn't the best option.

How did they goof?  I hope you called them to correct it? Bummer

Warriorchick and I have switched sides of the arena into equivalent seats.  If you'd like to buy her a beer, you'll find us at the very front of 422.  See you all in November.

I asked them to put me in whatever seat maximized my kiss cam chances.

F*ckin' did the same thing last year and he ended up on the throne.

[Sir Lawrence]

Is there a seating chart that shows the seat numbers in addition to the sections and rows?  Or in the alternative, how the numbers run?

We've appeared exactly once when in the seats of a high ranking administrator.  Proud to have earned a rousing ovation from the student section (presumably with the exception of our own mortified kids.)

Grabber of many parachutes, Two-time pizza winners, and STOTG once.  But never, not once, the ultimate prize of being on kiss cam, mortifying the missus.

I know you bring this up as a joke, but we were on this past year and it absolutely made my wife's year. She actually pumped her fist afterwards.

I am sure we will never be offered those seats again.

Just did my re-seating, the software MU purchased was a complete POS, thought I was back on dial up.  Be aware once you pick your row the seats go into your basket on the left side and you need to scroll all the way down down to the confirm button.  My percentile was about the same as last time and I got the same row as last time.  Worse experience and ease of use compared to last time.  Just re-read my rant, did I mention "last time"?

Inverse. Daughters, mother-in-law, niece, work subordinates, sister, my beer, my male college roommate, people next to me I don't know, my best friend's wife, my cousin.  Never a chute, ball, t-shirt gun, pizza, lucky row to be had.  Just incest and sexual harassment.

Thanks to Hilltopper, I can re-mortify Mrs. Sir Lawrence on a as needed basis.  I waited 13 seasons to hit the kiss cam jackpot, and he caught the image on his camera.  Now I want more.  You think it will happen every season, but it's just not that easy getting back to the mountain top.

And it's so very disappointing when the featured couple goes with the little 'peck on the cheek'.  Weak.

So here I am a little over 24 hours from my selection time and there's actually a fair amount of green left in the lower bowl (as opposed to last time when it was mostly red & some yellow)... which has me thinking, do I really want to pay a seat donation for better seats, or am I content in the ghettos of the 400-level.  With offspring #3 due in a few months, I have a hard time believing I'm going to make it to more than half the games this year.  $125 endzone tickets are easy to eat... not sure I could stomach eating four $450+110 uppers or $570+120 lowers, though.

Out of curiosity... has anyone had success in selling their unused tickets (particularly mid-week or OOC games) in any of the following seating areas, even at a modest discount to face value?

-- End zone/corner lowers (e.g. 204-210), high rows (U and higher)
-- Mid-court uppers (e.g. 400/422), mid rows (G-P)
-- Baseline uppers (e.g. 402/419), lower rows (A-D)

Don't want the wife to find out about your "gentleman friend", eh?

I have NOT had much luck selling unused tix lately...and I have great lowers midway up section 218.  I live several hours from Milwaukee, so we usually make it to about 10 games per season, mostly missing weeknight games.  A few seasons ago, we usually sold half or more of our available tickets, often for around face value.  The last couple of seasons, I have been unable to sell most of my unused tickets...even for half price or less.  My theory is that we're on TV so frequently that the secondary market is getting slower, but I suppose it might be the economy as well....

I wonder if it was your computer or internet connection, or maybe a temporary problem with MU's site.  I got on and off in about 2 minutes, no glitches whatsoever.
