Reseating
If you ordered tickets in 2013, do you get to select your 2014 seats ahead of someone who has a higher priority rank than you just because that person didn't order 2013 tickets in their name. I assumed the slates were wiped clean in 2014 and 2013 didn't matter. So if you have a high priority rank in 2014 it does you no good unless you ordered tickets under your name in 2013? Because all 2013 ticket holders will get to choose their seats first? So in reality, reseating began in 2013?

That is my current understanding, and I'll admit that I really don't get the reasoning. The only explanation that I've heard is that they're trying to prevent newbs from latching onto high ranking people in order to get great seats, but they could have gone about this differently. Why not just say that if you ordered 4+ tickets last year, you cannot order any more priority seats this season. For all others, you can order up to 4

What about the people that signed up for the Today, Tomorrow, Forever campain?

I've had my own tickets in a decent spot for years now so I'm fine. However my dad has been going in with a buddy of his for well over 15 years. Its never been in my dads name though.

After looking at Today. Tomorrow. Forever Initiative dad decided to branch out on his own. Is he gonna get screwed out of tickets? He's never bought season tickets under his BDC account.

I think they told him when he signed up he would be eligible for up to 8 tickets....but this was before the whole "you want be able to get more tickets" deal.

Slight correction.
TTFI people who gave at least $25k get to reseat first.

I called and renewed my donation for the BDC yesterday. I've sat in the Club Level ever since its inception, and asked how the reseating was going to be handled in Club Level, and I assume it's probably similar in other sections.

She said existing Club Level ticket holders would be reseated based upon their BDC priority. Then, if there are seats left, others who want to be in CL will get the opportunity. I was concerned that some super donor might be able to come in and boot existing ticket holders out with their BDC priority, but it won't work that way. The way they're doing it sounds equitable.

It's not similar in other sections. The CL is an anomaly, but a justifiable one...with each seat for new participants carrying a $25k commitment and our fans that can afford that much already giving for premium seating in the new expansion, there won't be a lot of takers.

The Club Level went up to $1750 (from $1500) this year, but one of the new sections is $2500 per seat. I really can't see paying that much for an end zone seat. I'm perfectly happy with CL on the sidelines. I wonder how the new high-priced section will sell.

I can't either and from my point of view, your east side club seats are the best ones in the house. I'd love to move over there, but the $25K TTFI price tag is too rich for my blood.

I think that Stricklin is claiming that all north end zone premium seating(skyboxes, club, and loge) is sold out so apparently people bought all of those seats, but I'll admit that I'm surprised. He was asking for a pretty big chunk of change to sit in an end zone

Edited to add: apparently, it's just the Loge and Skybox seats that are sold out. Club seating in the NE is still available

I was told by someone in the AD that the new Scoreboard Club will be the most sought after seats in the stadium after everyone gets a chance to see all the amenities, they said it was the best bargin in the stadium and would probably require a long term commitment after this initial offering. Of course they were trying to encourage me to move to that section also. I guess we will see.

The only bad thing about Club Level (and Suites too) is that the sun is right in your face for day games, and for the beginning night games too in the early part of the season. And that's more pronounced the farther south you sit in that section. As far as I'm concerned the only way CL could be better is if it was on the West side. But that was impractical ... they might do that at some future time. Apparently, "premium" seats go over really well at most all stadiums.

I'm really looking forward to seeing the new stadium this fall. It's going to look great. I wonder if the CL in the north end zone will be accessible from the existing CL.
