LES reseating for the 2024 season

More info ...

Isn't this just repackaging "increasing the price of tickets" in a way that is

notaboy

10/3/23 3:14pm

So if my email said I’m a royal cougar, where does that fall on the list?

blueaussie

10/3/23 3:33pm

Same as a "regular cougar".

ManicBlue

10/3/23 3:40pm

I’ll take “Other” for $5 Alex.

10/3/23 4:09pm

That MIGHT get you a Thank You email response. 😉

ManicBlue

10/3/23 4:38pm

Heavy emphasis on the “Might”.

10/3/23 4:48pm

Average non-Cougar Club season ticket holder has 3,700 priority points

NYC and Japan

10/3/23 8:18pm

I'm kind of surprised they didn't reseat this last year, but maybe they felt it

cougarfan84

10/3/23 1:40pm

oh they did for all the sideline seats just not lower bowl end zones. So now

Mayor of Cougartown

10/3/23 1:43pm

Sideline seats have been reseated every year since I can remember, though.

cougarfan84

10/3/23 1:53pm

Yes. But it made negligible difference until this season. This season it was a

Cougarbib

10/3/23 6:53pm

He'd better join if he wants tickets next year.

RGGeemer

10/3/23 1:44pm

If he's been buying seats every year for the past 40 years, he'll have enough points to get seats before most people

ManicBlue

10/3/23 1:47pm

40 years is only 4000 points per ticket

TANK

10/3/23 3:32pm

It'll still be far more than most people unless there is a mad rush to join the CC and will put him ahead of a lot if

ManicBlue

10/3/23 3:38pm

He would still need to join as all cougar club members go first.

TANK

10/3/23 3:59pm

True but not all CC members buy tickets and some will still choose to buy the cheapest seats. It'll be interesting to

ManicBlue

10/3/23 4:51pm

Are u a season ticket holder? If u are and not in a protected Endzone seat, u

Cougarbib

10/3/23 7:03pm

There already was a max rush to join Cougar Club and every $60 donor was

Cougarbib

10/3/23 7:00pm

Points aren't per ticket. Just if you bought any the prior seasons.

cruoti

10/4/23 10:09am

The 4,000 points would apply to all tickets bought by that person that season as

Cougarbib

10/4/23 1:59pm

U could not be more wrong. I am over 40 years and I was lucky to get any

Cougarbib

10/3/23 6:58pm

this is exactly why it's being done. We have members of cougarclub stuck in the

Mayor of Cougartown

10/3/23 1:47pm

I agree that it is fair. And like has been mentioned, his longevity in

cougarfan84

10/3/23 1:55pm

We have seats right b the portal in section 23. Have had them for a handful of

Stucoug83

10/3/23 6:50pm

They said each level gets you seat selection a day or 2 earlier. The lowest

Cougarbib

10/3/23 7:08pm

this isn't right - I just joined the cougar club - lowest level a year ago

aaronmania

10/3/23 2:13pm

How many years have you had tickets?

Eggguy

10/3/23 2:22pm

this is my 2nd year

aaronmania

10/3/23 3:13pm

Exactly. A $60 donation outweighed 40 years of seniority. They will be fixing

Cougarbib

10/3/23 7:11pm

then I have even less sympathy for these free loading non cougarclub season tix

Mayor of Cougartown

10/4/23 9:22am

Sure. As long as they communicated that. There is a deadline by which you need

Cougarbib

10/4/23 2:05pm

now that's a valid point. It should have been communicated I agree with you ther

Mayor of Cougartown

10/4/23 3:09pm

That part is fair. What is not fair is I will probably lose

davidmj10

10/3/23 2:55pm

I don't really see how that is unfair to you.

robin

10/3/23 3:11pm

Probably better wording. I think loyalty should be rewarded but

davidmj10

10/3/23 3:18pm

I would agree with that. There should be some built in perks for loyalty. In

robin

10/3/23 3:24pm

Why are you so confident that you'll get worse seats. Most higher level CC members aren't buying end zone seats right?

HarlemCoug

10/3/23 4:32pm

I’m 1st row. Have been for quite a while. I doubt those will be left after

davidmj10

10/3/23 6:00pm

Because fans who could not even get a seat at all in 2023 will join the club in

Cougarbib

10/3/23 7:16pm

That corporation will be donating every year. And they already made their

Cougarbib

10/3/23 7:14pm

BYU is one of if not the last P5 to allow non donors so many guaranteed seats.

rad dawg

10/3/23 1:58pm

Yeah not sure that's true. There are still many P4 teams that don't even sell out their games.

ManicBlue

10/3/23 2:01pm

It's true.

rad dawg

10/3/23 3:49pm

Stanford and Washington St spring to mind. Wash St only averages mid-20s for attendance in football and

ManicBlue

10/3/23 4:09pm

Just as a point of reference, 2 of the cheapest season tix at RES would make you

NarfUte

10/3/23 3:50pm

Won't be long until you just need to donate a can of soup to the food bank to get in again. 😉

ManicBlue

10/3/23 4:12pm

Technically true but misleading.

rad dawg

10/3/23 4:38pm

You still have to buy the tickets after the donation…

NYC and Japan

10/3/23 8:29pm

We are in the same situation.45 years but don’t donate every year.

Mabuhay Coug

10/3/23 3:28pm

It will. They listened and explained it more visibly and clearly than they did

Cougarbib

10/3/23 6:42pm

what does reseating mean?

Avery

10/3/23 1:40pm

In the past endzone seats were renewable by the ticket holder each year. Next year all seats will be up for grabs

kccougar

10/3/23 1:43pm

Yeah, sounds like just reseat north/south endzone next year but not year to year

groy

10/3/23 1:47pm

My guess is it will have a reseat every 2-5 years. Possibly more frequent as the

10/3/23 1:50pm

I'm guessing they won't reseat the endzones again until all of the sideline seats are bought by CC members.

ManicBlue

10/3/23 1:53pm

U lost me at “guess”. Where does it say it is not going to be every year?

Cougarbib

10/3/23 7:22pm

Answer. They will not reseat Endzone seats every year but there are 2 caveats:

Cougarbib

10/3/23 8:44pm

It seems this is correct. That the end zone seats aren't going to be renewed each year. That whatever seats you buy in

HarlemCoug

10/3/23 4:39pm

See my post above.

Cougarbib

10/3/23 8:49pm

Nobody has dibs anymore.

RGGeemer

10/3/23 1:43pm

Just like they did with the Marriott Center for basketball this year. No seats will be reserved next year like they

ManicBlue

10/3/23 1:44pm

ALL seats?

CrashMcLarson

10/3/23 1:52pm

They've been doing that yearly with sideline seats but will include the endzones next year for one year.

ManicBlue

10/3/23 1:55pm

They need to also eliminate about one or two seats per row in the bleachers.

ArcticKat

10/3/23 1:55pm

Pretty hard to do when the numbers are stamped into the metal bleachers. I'd like to see the bleachers replaced with

ManicBlue

10/3/23 1:56pm

I would too but you can’t replace bleachers with seats without changing the

ArcticKat

10/3/23 2:15pm

No, I don't think LES would have the same problem that the MC did in that regard. BYU has already

ManicBlue

10/3/23 3:00pm

Seat backs protrude into the isle. It’s already a tight fit in the EZs.

ArcticKat

10/3/23 3:13pm

They don't have to protrude into the aisle and besides have you looked at the stadium chairs some bring? hahahaha

ManicBlue

10/3/23 3:41pm

The bring your own chairs are terrible and should be illegal. The space is too

ArcticKat

10/3/23 3:51pm

They're fine IF you follow BYU guidelines. Too bad many people don't.

ManicBlue

10/3/23 4:07pm

Why not just raise the price? If the previous owner doesn't want to pay, then

10/3/23 1:58pm

Uh ... they did raise prices this year. You missed all of the complaining about it?

ManicBlue

10/3/23 2:02pm

In a way this does raise the price and rewards the CC members chance to move

groy

10/3/23 2:03pm

They did. Our end zone seats went from $120 to $500. Now we may lose them:(

Wear Blue

10/3/23 11:30pm

Been in my same seats for like 8 seasons. So have others around us.

10/3/23 2:02pm

We are going nearly 20 years in our seats, my in-laws 45. This is frustrating.

Mabuhay Coug

10/3/23 3:32pm

I have 4060 priority points. Trying to figure out where I rank. How about you?

Eggguy

10/3/23 2:08pm

1,560. But this is only my second year with season tickets. I might boost my level to bronze. MAYBE silver just in case

Chasicle

10/3/23 2:21pm

It will be determined by Cougar Club rank and THEN priority points

10/3/23 2:24pm

I think that should put you somewhere in the top-middle of the Bronze Cougars

10/3/23 5:20pm

Just curious, where’d this information come from?

TouchdownCougars

Email from the Cougar Club

Season tickets have become an extortion scheme.

Eggguy

10/3/23 2:14pm

RE: LES reseating for the 2024 season

QHall90

10/3/23 2:19pm

Sideline seats are reseated every year but yes, this is new for the endzones next year.

ManicBlue

10/3/23 3:04pm

This does not include Donor seats.

BrewCoug

10/3/23 3:57pm

and it probably won't be until they get those back over time

BlackBart

10/3/23 5:19pm

I’m done

bjc

10/3/23 9:09pm

Absolutely incorrect to say that BYU football isn't for families.

HarlemCoug

10/3/23 9:22pm

You have to be well off to get tickets for a whole family

TaysomJimmerEraCoug

10/3/23 11:41pm

you can say it's out of your budget... or it's out of the budget of most young families ... or some other claim.. But,

HarlemCoug

10/4/23 12:06am

Yep that's what I'm saying. Same thing with Disneyland

TaysomJimmerEraCoug

10/4/23 9:23am

I don't follow. What evidence is there than more young families are priced out today than before? Young families have

HarlemCoug

10/4/23 10:12am

Uhh..perhaps the increased ticket prices??

TaysomJimmerEraCoug

10/4/23 12:06pm

How do increase ticket prices show anything about affordability? Affordability is a multifaceted issue, you can't

HarlemCoug

10/4/23 12:10pm

Lol this is one of the dumbest and most pointless arguments I've come across

TaysomJimmerEraCoug

10/4/23 12:19pm

Taking the whole family never would have worked for my family anyway. Kids were involved in too many activities. Plus,

ManicBlue

10/4/23 12:19am

Why should BYU guarantee your seats at below market just because you have had

GilbertAZCougar

10/4/23 3:30pm

He’s not saying they should, just disappointed that it’s all come to this

palangi

10/4/23 11:23pm

I guess he would have happy to go back to the MWC and had his cheap seats.

GilbertAZCougar

10/5/23 2:57pm

Its all about relative priorities. What is most important for you.
