What Section are you in?

[CrazyCajun]

yes we sold 18000 last year and we werent shoved into the 600 level so reason would say that 3000+- extra seats shouldnt have pushed us up into the 600 section

Did you not read? The bowl kept the end zones for sponsors, those were not an option, only options were 2 sections on the ecu side and 301 which sounds like it was seperate. They tried to make the right call for everyone, if you got stuck in a corner by yourself you probably wouldn't be happy about that either. You will be able to see the whole game just fine. There isn't a "bad" seat in the dome

[CrazyCajun]

Actually it is the administrations fault. Their job is to place us in the best possible seats available, placing people in the terrace level when they had an option for club level is not putting them in the best available seats. When you reserve your bowl seats you should only be allowed to reserve up to the number of season tickets you have. Then after all orders have been filled you then get the option to purchase additional tickets.

So if my wife and I donate 20k to rcaf but only have 2 season tickets, I should get the same as someone who donates $100 but has 2 season tickets? No thanks

if you think the 600 level is good you are crazy, it is high the players look tiny, your knees are in the person ahead of you head and its much steeper than the other levels of the dome. so yes they are crap seats that is why the season tickets in that level are 600 dollars and not 2000 dollars like on the 300 level

[CrazyCajun]

No it's not as good as 300 but its not bad, I've watched plenty of saints games in the 600, always had a great time

I was one of those Cajun fans in that endzone last year. I was glad to be at the game but basically I had to watch the monitor for most of the game to see what was going on. I am in 311 this year and much happier, but I would have rather sat in plaza seats than the end zone again.

To BillBeck; OK we get it, you are upset. If it is so important that you not sit in the plaza, try to sell your tickets and go buy some more on stub hub or Ticketmaster. You may take a hit, but a Bowl does not come along very often for long suffering Cajun Fans. As much as it cost to get to the game, it would be worth it if this is going to make you so miserable.

Very true! Wasn't thinking about that.

Yes. That is how it works. I work in the athletic department at another university, in another state, that has a much bigger booster club than UL and that is how it works. If you want to be sure you are able to get more bowl tickets then buy more season tickets.

EXACTLY. As I stated in another thread earlier.... a quick search on Ticketmaster for "Best Available" seats yields tickets around the 50 yard line of the Club Level on the opposite side. I would be ecstatic with these tickets. There won't be any ECU fans around you cause they will all be in the Plaza level... the only peeps around you will either be Cajun fans or general Football fans and you'd have a great view of not only the game... but of our ENTIRE RAGING CROWD ON THE OTHER SIDE!

Seriously.

The bowl also gave us 2 section of plaza seats on the ECU side but it was decided by the athletic department and ticket office that it would be a disservice to place our own season ticket holders on the opposite side of the field from our fans and team. And the 301 end zone is the on,y section that they decided to move in between the 20's.

If I would gotten seat on the other side of the field and in the end zone and I would have known that we had a chance to go up and keep all the fans together I would have been ____ed. If I would want to seat next to ECU I would have gone to school there.

Like another post...damned if you do.....damned if you don't. I can understand why they made the choice.

Another thought....what great problems to have!

Geaux Cajuns!

So I just back my donation down to 15k and buy 5 grand worth of season tickets. Just wondering, this other larger, better athletic department, does it have the 3rd lowest budget in America?

I can't tell you how to spend your money, all I can tell you is how this business is done. Where I work, and at the majority of other universities, the amount you donate to the the athletic foundation does not determine the amount of tickets you are allowed to purchase at bowl time. The amount you donate does however get you better seats.

Where you work, is budget a major issue as it is here? We need to motivate people to join rcaf and maximize their donation to subsidize our budget, apparently we have no problem getting people to go to bowl games. By the way, the gentlemen just said he doesn't even have season tickets, so what's your point?

[billbeck451]

this whole way of tickets has been highshoolish, hell even ulm figured out how to do online ticket sales, they haven't sold many tickets but at least they didn't have to jump through hoops to do it
