LES reseating for the 2024 season

With our ticket base continuing to expand, we will be reseating LaVell Edwards Stadium following this season. The reseating will include the north and south end zone areas and will begin in early 2024 with assigned timeslots based on Cougar Club level and priority points.

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

notaboy

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

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

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

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?

Season tickets have become an extortion scheme.

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

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

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,

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.
