Basketball Season Tickets

[VObserver]

Went to buy some yesterday. I was told that l could pay now, but I could not choose my seat. I was prepared to pay as much as $500 per seat. No way I am paying anything without knowing what I am getting.

I know existing ticket holders have preference. I have no issue with that. I am perfectly willing to choose from seats that are currently unsold.

Same for me. I went to buy seats when the day the hire of Coach Q was announced. But I’m not paying now without knowing what I’m buying. As you said, show me the seats that were not held by season tickets last year and let me choose the ones I want. Or….just wait for my money when I can see what I’m buying.

Yeah, last year, I simply wanted to move my 2 basketball seats next to a buddy that had 2 open seats next to him, but they made me wait until after the renewal period in case someone with a higher rank wanted those seats. LOL, so dumb

That is strange. A couple of years ago, a friend purchased tickets next to mine prior to renewal deadline. They were open the previous year. I guess they want you to have the chance to purchase seats that are not renewed. Nothing else makes sense

They do this in baseball as well. Season ticket holders get first option to renew or move seats before they open them to new ticket requests. The one thing about basketball is I can't imagine they had more than 1500-2000 season ticket holders last year.

But why aren’t non-season ticket held seats available immediately?

A season ticket holder may want to move or add additional seats, and they want to give them first option to do that.

Gotcha. Makes sense.

100%

My issue is this: If your policy is to allow current season ticket holders the uncontested opportunity to move or add seats you should not open sales of tickets to others until a protected sale period closes out. The University could have easily opened a 2 week window for upgrades and additions for prior year season ticket holders before opening general sales. The "new Coach" buzz would have still been active.

Try only 900 season tickets.
