STH Inquiry -- Points/Priority 101

[WheatonMU]

Upon placing my deposit for this next year's Season Tickets, I noticed that both my Priority Points/Rank dropped YOY, despite attending a number of games (more than prior years) & maintaining my seat, which was up 12%, from last year. 

I'm sure I need a PHD to understand MU's math here, but does it just boil down to extra donations on top of your Season Ticket Included Donation?  Wasn't aware I'd drop in both rank or priority all things being equal, with the increase in Ticket Costs.

I'm sure I am bottom of the barrel on both, but just trying to understand how it all works     

And speaking of Ticket Costs, any rumblings if we expect another major jump in costs this year to justify the increased NIL for our roster?

Points are based off seniority (how long you've had tickets), alumni status, if you were an athlete at marquette, and donations to the school. You do get a measly 2 (?) Points for perfect attendance, but if you miss a single game this one gets deleted.

The fastest way to jump up in rank is to of course donate, theoretically you could go all the way to the top in a single year.

I dont believe the required "donation" to the school on certain ticket levels count for extra points.

Thanks!  I didn't realize it was only 2 Points for Perfect Attendance, that's wild.

They care way more about the $$$ than if you actually show up.

Without the money there is no program.

Right. Yeah, they SAY they want you to show up and be loud, but they really don't care THAT much.

Same as every school in the country.

You are likely paying more for that Big Time College BB performance by MU over the past season and one half. Marketing is great!

You really cooked him there willie!!

It's wild to me anyone would pay for season tickets.  Real fans complain on message boards after watching the game on TV and getting plastered drinking Natural Ice.

The flaw in your hypothesis is it takes so much Natty Ice to get plastered that you miss the entire game because you are in the bathroom peeing.

But my assumption rests on the complainers actually watching the game.
