I spent 5K on 4 tickets this year (this does include my CC donation.) I am about 15 rows from the top on the east side at about the 30 yard line right next to the student section.
I did not have the option to select premium end zone seats. If I am going to pony up the $$, and you are not, I should have the option to pick better seats. Sounds cold but it is the way the world works. 🙂
