Reseating...

[warriorchick]

I drive an hour one way myself..I just love MU basketball.

  I must say that non-alums are my favorite type of fan; they don't "have" to support the team.

Thanks for the scholarship donation.

Wait, you can get points for your spouse being a MU degree holder?  How have I missed the boat on this?  I am assuming if I just contact the ticket office I can get that added to my account?

Yep, just call and let them know.

You have to let her go to the games with you, though.

How many points do you get if you skip the degree and just donated the cost of attendance straight to the Blue & Gold Fund?

How does this compare with the costs of courting an MU grad to be your spouse?

Asking for a friend.

So you suggesting mail order marriages and quickee on-line divorces for MU points...?

Joe True canvasses the crowd,  and before reseating, reconfirms the marriage status of couples who look a little iffy based on their body language.  The Kiss Cam was an essential tool of his before the PC types took it away.

How else did you think 4ever maintained his rank?



On a different note, I'm guessing there is more than one person out there who are buying a single seat in the upper end zones every year but never use them... just to maintain their MBB STH points.  We had three of the four seats in a "mini-row" along the tunnel upstairs for three years... not once in 60 games did anyone ever sit in that seat (we used it for the diaper bag and coats, mostly).

At first, I figured it was someone buying a cheap single to get into the arena and then finding an open seat downstairs.  But the next two years, I noticed that the fourth seat was always available at my reseating appt. but it was always sold by the end of the process... so someone was buying it as a season ticket.

In addition to my usual donation, this year I bought a table to the B&G Auction and made a $500 donation while there.  I only moved up 80 minutes.  But I see that as a positive, there is interest and investment in MU athletics.  That can only be a good thing.

You only get the value in points allowed by the IRS of the donation.

I understand that.  It still was a bigger jump in  dollars for me than normal.  And every year I have moved up a little in time picking.

Since he earned his degree with his hands, I thought he was claiming Rosey as his dependent, ai-na?

What about spouse who employed at MU? Any point addition from that?

The spouse degree thing really put me behind the eight ball with my season ticket buddy. His wife has 2 degree from MU (15 points) and my wife has 0 MU degrees.

Shot in the dark here, but if anyone has a re-seating time around 3:30-3:40p on June 5 and plans to select less than 4 tickets, please PM me.

No cheating!

[barfolomew]

No cheating!

What if Benny were to hire that person as an Assistant Seatmate?
Just because that Assistant happened to have a prior relationship with a prized seat, would that be cheating?

So what if you split two tickets with your MU grad brother? We don't have 'spouse' points but we go to every game together.

Sorry; you can marry a guy now, but I am pretty sure marrying an immediate family member is a no go...

[Jay Bee]

Can we change the subject of this thread to 'cheapskates'?

[ChuckyChip]

Incorrect.

If you donate $1,000 you will get 10 B&G points even though only $800 is tax deductible.

[Benny B]

I never thought of it that way.  Shiite.  Do I cheat and get a fifth ticket downstairs, rotate which children get to go to the games, or dilute my points and select five seats in a later time slot (I'm thinking Row A or B of Section 400)?

In other words, thank you for re-calibrating my moral compass.  Perhaps someday I can repay you with the "joy" of having to sit near my kids for an entire season.

Has anyone gone into the computer system and looked at their row yet.  I did and am wondering if selection doesn't start until next week, how come rows are already listing that seats are already not available. 

The row that we have sat in for many years says that only 13 of 15 are available.

I noticed that this is the case in a lot of the rows already.
