Reseating...

[bilsu]

How many season ticket holders does MU have?? 8,000??

Depends on how you count a season ticket holder. The tickets are in my name and I get two. Is that one season ticket holder or two.  I would guess there are 3500-4000 season ticket holders and probably an average of 2 1/2 to 3 seats per season ticket holder.

[bilsu]

I will let you in on a secret: I believe at least some of those point totals are on the high side.  Glow and I have never had trouble getting seats reasonably equivalent to what we had the prior year, and the estimated point totals for that section was always higher than that.

I think that may be done for two reasons:

1.To incentivize people to donate more before the deadline.

2. To prevent Joe True from fielding hundreds of angry phone calls along the lines of, "What the Hell!  The list said I had enough points to get into section 207!"

This may be a reflection of declining season ticket holders. When MU puts out their chart it is based on all of last seasons season tickets holders. We know in recent years there has been a decline in season tickets. Your position improves every time a person ahead of you drops out or takes less season tickets such as two tickets vs. four, which I did 3 years ago..

Nope. This was true even in the height of the Buzz years. Pretty sure there were no big  declines back then.

You always have a decline in old season ticket holders. Under Buzz the new season ticket holders met or exceded the decline in old season ticket holders. Older ticket holders die or move to Florida.

Not sure how this proves your point, but all I know is that over the past 5-6 years, my point total has stayed basically the same,  every year they estimate that  I will need significantly more points to stay in my section, and yet I have never had a problem getting the equivalent of the prior year's seats.

What is your rank? Last year I only donated $600 and I fell back from row M to row Q in section 200. However, I consider last years seats to be the best we ever had. We had seats 7 & 8 which was dead center in the row and the arena. Being 4 rows higher made it easier to see both baskets. I am stlll debating whether to donate anything for this reseating period. I figure the worst that could happen to me is that I move over to section 227.

And be with the riff-raff?

Not as good as yours.  Technically I could be in the lower bowl, but I would rather be upper bowl at half court in the first couple of rows than in the ends on the lower bowl.

Do I need to worry about reseating if I'm just looking to do the equivalent of what I did last season (Coors light corner)?

You'll still have to pick your seats right? I'm not sure how the coors section works. If your worried about not getting in the seats aren't really fought over so you should be fine.

From everything I know from my daughter, the process is exactly the same as it is for us old guys.  Deposit, re-seating according to points in the Coors section, etc.

No, those are the upper bowl people.

[Newsdreams]

No, those are the upper bowl people.

So, less riff raff at the new arena,imagine there won't be a bus stop, hey?

[warriorchick]

No, those are the upper bowl people.

Don't knock it until you try it.

It of course was in teal.  I will not add fuel to the fire.

Reminder for STHs to get their deposits in by May 30.

Larry, I was on a river boat in Europe with a time like 9PM on the weekend one year. Since the wifi was spotty and more expensive than the required donation, the ticket office was kind enough to email with me at that time to select and confirm.

[warriorchick]

I got June 4th at 4:51.  Accounting for the fact that reseating is starting a day early, calendar-wise, we are picking almost a full day earlier than last year.  And it's not like glow and I wrote any huge checks to the university during the last measuring period.  Since I believe they actually send out a reseating time to all the prior year ticketholders ( I don't recall needing to confirm that I was interested in participating), that goes to show you how much of a decrease they had.

Also, I just realized that they probably give everyone who has the exact same number of points the same reseating time.  So even if there were the same number of people ahead of you points-wise, your time might vary based on the number of "ties" among the folks with more points than you.

I did end up making a reseating donation.
I am not sure, if the schedule is the same as last year, but I am picking an hour earlier.

[bobnoxious]

I moved up 40 minutes from last year

[muguru]

Do they reseat on weekends? I can never remember

June 5 at 5:43 pm. Moved up 33 minutes.

[muguru]

Hmmmm, so not happy/impressed at all...made my largest donation to date, gained double digit points(by doing so), and if I moved at all it was by minutes..Wish I would have kept my stuff from last year just to compare..I may have even moved back a bit. Not sure what good donating does if it's not even going to move you up.
