Bad news on football season tickets

People are still clearly buying them at a rate that a lot of you would hate to see.
I was hopeful there would be a lack of interest this year so I could both move my seats down closer to the field and also pick up two more so my family of four could all sit together. That’s not going to happen, unfortunately.
Two days prior to my appointment time, everything initially available in front of me in the Cardinal Club and six rows behind me had already been purchased.
That damn Petrino hire (love you Bobby) has probably cost me my shot to move up without a substantial donation for the next four or five years. If Sam gets fired this year the enthusiasm of the new coach will keep season ticket purchases at a minimum steady and then that coach will most likely get 2-3 years grace period with the fans.
Not a happy camper at all. I really wanted to light more money on fire this year with my unhealthy football addiction.

I got two more in the East outdoor club. 8 in the club, 6 in lower level 102
Much Better Parking though. 2 passes.

Dammit man. All the parking was gone by the time I got to select.

I already had 6 in each area, added the 2 together.
Was lucky. The parking is a bit better in all honesty. But i have a personal rep now.
whatever that means.

They called and all but begged me to renew and I said absolutely not
I’m fighting the good fight for you!

Was today your day Chesh? Good lord.
I kept all of mine and added two in Pig Heaven on the 50 to sell or to give away to family/friends.
So, as pissed as I was, I now have 8 seats around the stadium.
I am good on parking, so did not need to try and improve that.

Yeah this morning was. The last thing I had my eye on got picked up mid-day Friday. Was really hoping there’d be less interest but clearly I’m going to have to donate more to move up in the next 4-5 years. Not what my wife is wanting to hear.

what do you currently have to donate, if you are comfortable sharing....

My date was a week ago Monday. I grabbed 3 more to give me 8 in South end zone. Got another parking pass too. I was pretty happy. Son being in the band really helps me keep tickets.
I donate 3k.

Oh yeah it’s no big deal. Currently I donate $1000 and then have two tickets at $900 per seat. So $2800 all in. It’s been perfectly fine for my wife and me but now that my two kids are getting game age I need to up my amount.
She loves the club seats so I doubt we’d move anywhere else except maybe the north end zone. However we’re basically sitting where you told me to buy years ago and it’s pretty perfect so I’d be hard pressed to relocate out of our section honestly.

Yea don’t ever move those seats Chesh. South end zone corner is the ticket and most comfortable outdoor club seat in the house.

Yep, I gave decent advice... Hawgeye is correct too.
I sell a few of them, go to a few games, give some to LEO's and donate a few to fund raisers aiding in tax stuff. Let my CPA figure that out for us.
I give 2100.00 a year. BUt have done so for a looonnnnggg time!

I told my wife I was talking on here about them and she said we aren’t moving.
She loves that our seats are always shaded and a straight shot to the exit after the game. I figure this year I’ll just try to buy 2 seats online near us whenever we want to take the whole family and then I’ll step up the donation. Sounds like 2-3k is probably where I need to be to gain some ground.
