The reason I say this is it seems no one except for people in the construction zone or people that increased their number of tickets is getting re-assigned.
I expect big shakeups in my section because I know alot of them don't donate. I never had a problem with seat reassignments, but now that is it actually not being enforced, I kind of feel a little tricked....
Anyone else have this same hunch and how do they feel about it?
Anyone ask Pollard about this?
They offered people a chance to continue sitting sitting in the sections they have been. If they took the opportunity they kept the seats if not they moved out.
In my case I have been sitting in the lower level on the 45 yard line for the last five years. I could not afford to double my donation, so my seats were moved to my proper level. That opened 4 seats at the victory level for those who were previously donating at that level first, and then new people at that level.
My seats being moved to the Captains level seating took away 4 seats from people with less points than I who donate at the captains level who were not already sitting in the captains level seats.
As you can see all new donors to the higher levels are at a disadvantage because there were already people in those seats that had first choice of what to do. That choice actually affects the seating of multiple levels of giving. My Choice affected the Victory level positively by opening up four seats, but affected the captains level negatively (Actually it greatly increases the value of the seats around my new seats, I'm just that cool) by taking four seats. People that increased their level hoping to jump to a new seating level are at a serious disadvantage as a lot of the donor levels are full and some of the people that were already giving to the proper level still are not getting to sit at that level.
It really is not that difficult to understand. A full reseating would have been the optimal solution for the majority of the fans, but in the long run could have caused more headaches to the AD and meant less money for
ISU athletics.
