to be happy with it. If it's about getting great seats, or other special access, I'm a L4 and I still haven't hit the level where I'm on CC's radar, or where I get remarkably great access to seats. There are so many wealthy donors making big contributions (which we are all grateful for), so the price to get the best seats or access to special experiences continuously floats just out of reach.

Unfortunately, 25 years ago, I originally set out to build my contributions up to the point where I would get the best seats, but for the past 10 years, I've only barely been able to maintain my same seats even with constantly increasing donations. If it was anything else, I would just stop, but after awhile, you kind of have to just keep paying in, or you lose everything you've built up, which is kind of a lame spot to find yourself in, but that's just how it works.

So if you just want to have great seats, buy them on KSL and you can have a lot of fun before you ever spend Legacy levels of $$. But if you're content to view your donations as contributions to the program, and you're happy to always have access to home and away tickets, and to sometimes get great tickets over a bunch of years, then it's a great time to take this journey with the Cougs!
