Parking problems

**TDclones** · 08-06-2012, 05:05 PM

Been a season ticket holder with parking on the cement the last 14 years. Just got my tickets today and did not get any of my three requests. Instead they put me in the grass away from everyone I have tailgated with the last 14 years! Anyone else have this problem? Not sure what has changed but I'm not happy about it!

Not sure what has changed

Others donated more money above you.

People that give more money get the better spots and more people are upping their contributions. The AD made this very clear. It will get better (more contributions $$$$) before it gets worse.

They sold out in record time this year and pushed a lot of people down a lot due to donations. I guess you should feel lucky that you even got one, some folks I know didn't get theirs.

Have a feeling there is going to be a lot of posts like this by the end of the night...

Paid the requested states fee every year... I guess money talks and loyalty walks! Would like to go higher but have a family and a budget that I must also take care of.

Don't see how loyalty walks, sure the money may talk though.

I guess having the same donations is okay for some people but for ISU to get to the next level, our fans need to be more open to changes, ups in donations, etc.

And the demand for spots, better seats, is a great thing for the program.

I believe cumulative donations to the University are taken into consideration not just how much was donated to the NCC in a given year. It is more likely that someone who has also been donating for a long time at the States level upped their donation this year and thus jumped ahead of you.

My guess is there are people in the donor level above you that aren't getting into their donation level.. and everything rolls downhill.

All Cyclone Club donors are eligible to purchase one season parking pass while supplies last. Directors Level members may purchase two permits (one reserved space – personalized with the donor’s name – and one space in a non-reserved lot).
To purchase a donor season parking pass, complete the parking section on the annual ticket renewal form. Donors should list their top three lot preferences based upon donation level (see the map links at the top of this article).
Each year, parking assignments are subject to change based on supply and demand. Therefore, there is no guarantee a donor will be reassigned to a previous year's lot.
Donors, who do not purchase football season tickets but would like to order a parking pass, should contact the Iowa State Athletics Ticket Office at 1-888-478-2925 (toll free) or (515) 294-1816.
If you wish to park with friends, please indicate that on the request form (parking assignments will be based upon the lowest priority of the group members).
If the Cyclone Club is not able to accommodate a parking order, the donor will be notified and refunded.

I feel like you might be perpetually drunk.

Reminded me of this:

STAN
We need to talk. Do you know what this is about?

JOANNA
My, uh, flair.

STAN
Yeah. Or, uh, your lack thereof. I'm counting and I only see fifteen
pieces. Let me ask you a question, Joanna.

JOANNA
Umm-hmm.

STAN
What do you think of a person who only does the bare minimum?
