Season Tickets: 7000 student tickets included in current numbers

**benjay** · 02-28-2007, 10:11 AM

I was told seating will be done in April. Renewals get their seats back, and after that, I believe it's based on NCC level and prioritized by first-come-first-serve.

I thought it was April, that was in the letter. Something like "you are encouraged to have your NCC paid in full by April XX for priority."

Now I DON'T recall if that was seating or parking - or both.

I'm guessing everyone one who has their renewals in by today, will have their seats locked out. Others who don't/won't have them in (like me, unfortunately) run the risk of losing their seats as somebody with higher points and/or donor level will take priority.

That's not to say that if you have enough points or donor power, you can't still get your seats back (or better ones), but there's not guarantees beyond today.

Thanks for checking with Pollard. It will be nice to have 800 more screaming loud students standing!

I just looked on cyclones.com and it said that NCC donations are due April 1st.

As long as we can find 800 more students who actually want to go...

(Slight humor in regards to students at basketball games...)

There is no reason to have priority in NCC anymore since seating levels are no longer based on donation levels. In fact you really just need to get it in by the time parking permits are issued. Not that I condone that sort of behavior, but other than parking ISU is giving us no reason to need to stay current on donations.

I don't think there are any seats in donor sections left, I know I cannot get seating upgrades. You should be fine.

Right now? The first available seat. If you join at Gold today, you are going to get worse seats than the guys next to me who don't donate at all. I would LOVE to see ISU do a reseating like Iowa did, even out the playing field.

oh you mean renewals get priority..

yes that is true. Although I was under the impression we are reseating next year?

I also heard that too, that we are going to completely reseat the stadium next year. I think that would be fair to everyone because that ensures that everyone that is sitting in a given section is giving the same amount.

Yes and no.

Some people will automatically lose their seats during the Master Plan project as some enhancements will cause seats to be removed in certain areas.

Also, next year the donation amounts and seat location will be "synced up". If you're donation amount is not up to par with where your seats are, you will be given the option to increase your donation amount in order to keep your seats. If you don't choose to increase the donation amount, you will be moved.

**DaddyMac** · 02-28-2007, 12:06 PM

I think that "reseating" is coming next year, isn't it?

Nailed it! This is a good move IMO since we are losing revenue by allowing lower donors to reap the benefits of being in 'the game' early. While I respect thier longevity all things in life have some sort of inflation attached to them, so you should not be allowed to keep your seats in the $1000 area for $250 etc. The donors in those seats probably have a different view, but they should realize how good they've had it and put up the funds now or move to another area. This is of course easy for me to say since I haven't been donating for as long as they have.
