Bleacher Bum Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 I got mine in the mail today. RowdyZip said he got his last week. It looks like Select a Seat day, at least for me, is June 10th. My time is at 10:45AM. Unfortunately, for most people, that's a work day. Luckily for me, I work at night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing I work right downtown and can take a later lunch to hit that time. It's gonna undoubtedly upset some people that can't make the trip on a weird weekday time. I had a friend luck out and get 5:45PM on the 10th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a friend luck out and get 5:45PM on the 10th.I got mine on saturday. It appears that there will be 3 more open houses- the intent to seek out the vantage point you would like. Problem with that is west upper deck will not be done so access wont be possible everywhere. Those 3 open houses are weds june 3, saturday june 6, and sunday the 7th. Then selections begin in Tommy Evans lounge on Monday. Mine is tuesday the 9th at 755pm. Keep in mind only 4500 or so have been sold and not a bad seat in house so you cant go wrong with any seat. But if you cant attend your appointed time you can assign a proxy or call ticket office to select seats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Kangaroo Posted May 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 I get to pick my seat @ 7:40pm. It was great that the University provided a parking pass along with the announcement. Unfortunately the pass is only valid from 9am - 5pm.Will it ever end... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Kangaroo Posted May 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Is the pick your seat for all sections?No. They spread it out over a couple days. The earlier you donate and longer you've been a season ticket holder, the earlier your selection.6-10-09? Lee Adams must be a cheapskate?

Zipgrad01 Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 I have to wait until the 12th at 11:30 am. I guess that is what I get for only being in my 3rd year of having tickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I figured out that they are staggering the selections every 5 minutes throughout the day. And they must be going until 8 or 9 pm each day so 156 to 168 people each day max. Based on a starting date of next Monday and 5 day week for selections. It's going to take them a month to get through 4500 season ticket holders.

Dave in Green Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 I suspect the formula is more heavily weighted toward monetary contributions than to number of years of being a season ticket holder, i.e. multiple thousands in donations trumps multiple decades of season ticket purchases.

I just mean do you get an opprotunity to select a seat for whatever seating choice you bought i.e. reserved, general admission, priority reserved, family seating etc... or is select a seat only for those high rollers?

You just save some dough by buying all six tickets at once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got to wait until the 12th to pick my seats. I'm in the Family section (Cheap) but apparently I get to pick my seats....who know. I can't go anyway so I'll have to phone it in.

I would assume you would be earlier.I really hope they have a DETAILED ONLINE MAP that we can look at when calling in (which I will most likely have to do as well).

Buckzip's selection is set for July 19th, 2012 from what I understand. And his parking pass is for the Rubber Bowl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RowdyZip Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Wow...no offense ticket office, but how did I get screwed into the 16th when there's first time ticket holders going the week before?On second thought...that's about right for our sports marketing department.
