Season Ticket - seat selector app

[Exit 4]

How many have selected their actual season ticket locations using the portal?

Because I have -7 priority points (shame!), I just received the intro email to the seat selector portal today. I don't get to select my seats until 5/22, however the portal does allow you to preview seat availability and what I saw I was somewhate impressed with. The lower bowl is filling in reasonably well. Also notable is that the seats w/o the required $100 donation are filling too. We have a long way to go, but maybe we'll get that season ticket base into the 22-24k range this year...what was it last year again?

I had lunch with Herbst last week. She said tickets were selling well and there is a lot of buzz.

Exit 4; how did you end up with negative seven points?

He bought a Diaco energy vampire tshirt and said the dairy bar ice cream was only okay

Buddy, -7 points is just a joke.

Love the seat view tool in the portal.

Would love to hear how this goes. Not moving my seats in section 241 ever for football but always looking to move our basketball tickets. Have almost 400 priority points.

Where in 241 are you? Evidently half the boneyard sits in our section.

Row 4 seats 1&2

I'm just a handful of rows behind you. I'll stop by to say hello in the fall.

The Boneyard has to occupy ~30 seats in 241.

1st time I've ever had 1:1 meeting with her. Was pretty surprised when her assistant reached out. Was related to me being on the Alumni Board for the NYC chapter.

Please do!

BUMP. Has anyone tried this out yet?

I tried it, it was great. It gives you 30 minutes to select your seats and keep your seats. If you select seats, and then go look for better ones for 30 minutes. Very easy to use. Ended up moving up 4 rows in the same section I was in.

Used the new seat selector today and found that it was intuitive and effective - unlike the UConn athletics ticket website in general. My buddy and I were able to move a section closer to the 50 and still retain aisle seats (his strong preference).

I'm going to try out Section 127 this year - west side endzone corner. Seems to be popular, the section is filling nicely.

If I had to guess, maybe they have 15k season tickets sold at this point hopefully pushes to the low 20s once the students and stragglers come on board. It would be a helluva lot lower at this stage if it wasn't for RE 2.0.

Wow, someone with fewer points than moi? I thought for sure I went last.

Now that I have selected my seats they don't let you reopen the app to monitor ticket sales. Bummer.

 

[EdgewoodNHV]

Yeah I selected today. I wish they'd let me re-select if I wanted but apparently it's a one-time deal.

Well I am seated on the dark side in 202 and I am so looking forward to the season

Welcome...

 

[31GuardTrap]

Very pleased with my seats: 221 Row A, seats 1 & 2. Process was very painless.

Couldn't select mine at my 9:55 am slot. So I just picked my seat.

Had 30 minutes before I had to confirm so I started counting the infamous (actually real) green dots.

Lower bowl: I counted 20 sections in lower with not many left.

I counted 1354 remaining. So with some error and the sections pretty much empty, I'd say there's 2000-2500 ST left open in lower bowl.

Out of all the exercises on the Boneyard -
nothing has proved a bigger waste of time than counting dots.

Wouldn't these green dots actually be accurate and legit though? They are either taken or they are open and green.

Yes, the available sections don't count student section or visitor so I guess it's not truly accurate of lower bowl

Regular games or ST previously whether it be bball, hockey, or football, they hold back and release seats all the time to push certain sections, appear sold out etc

This new 3D seat accounting system seems the most accurate way of counting than anything before.

Probably a waste, but whatever
