and then did not have their choice of end zone seats as the next option. This is now being remedied by reseating.

I'm one of those endzone lower bowl lifer's. Same seats for 35+ years...

I guess the question is do you want byu to make money or some stranger?

sah22

10/4/23 9:31pm

Are they not making more money now with Big 12 membership?

Kuga

10/4/23 9:36pm

You just want them to not make even more money than they could. They should reseat and increase to current market

I’m asking a question, chill out.

Kuga

I think you're the one that needs to chill out. I'm just trying to answer your question. Look at it from BYU's

You can never have enough money. Especially in the new professional collegiate

They should reseat it every season. BTW, BYU gets half revenue share this season

So increased demand from CC members?

Kuga

That young buck is willing to pay the same as you plus the one time & yearly donations. I don’t understand the confusion

Maybe, but it's not just about tenure. Sadly (because it's reality in 2023),

Seems like it would be bad business to sell your tickets to you below (possibly far below) market value. That's what you

yes, there was an increase in cougar club memberships, especially Legacy Donors

One time donations will be worthless going forward. If someone tries that

Cougarbib

Yes. Absolutely. More CC donors and they want better seats.

Better analogy, be altruistic and keep the ticket price low and then you get

It’s certainly a consideration and probably not a decision that was made lightly

Crowd Factor

10/4/23 10:01pm

I’m with you, now what about the CC member that’s paid and renewed every year?

Kuga

10/4/23 10:07pm

I do think think their decision would be more compelling if they weren’t

If they have been paying season tickets and CC for 30 years, they have a lot of

They've also had 30 years worth of "good" seats. The new donor/buyer will have 1

you don’t like the point system, you want any new donor preferred over the old?

I don't really care. Whichever system results in good chair seats being on the

Separately though, let me assume that you buy 4 season tickets every year.

Crowd Factor

10/4/23 10:07pm

Yes I would still buy the tickets.

Kuga

10/4/23 10:22pm

I think it’s likely a matter of perspective that will drive people’s opinion

What’s wrong with requesting CC membership? It’s either that or increase the

All valid points, but as I mentioned in the OP…

To encourage folks to join and donate to cougar club. Fans like you didn’t have to in order to get the seats you wanted.

Counter point in blue blood programs and their seats.

Supply and demand. Demand just went up.

It doesn't make sense for donors to have worse tickets than non-donors or for

I agree, but I don't know a single CC donor that has worse seats than me.

I hear you, I actually see it as less of a B12/P5 thing and more of a CFB

My opinion: which may have been expressed already...

RebelScum

U might want to look into the cost of seats being passed down at other schools.

Cougarbib

10/4/23 11:48pm

You got what you paid for every year that you paid for it. You weren’t cheated. You’ll get what you pay for this year.

This is the best response. No one has been cheated. Everyone gets what they pay.

Pretty simple equation: value of the seats is going way up
