2024 Seating Changes

[Doc5120]

No I didn't. I only looked at Section 129 and found what I wanted. Btw, is Don a member of your group?

Ok, thanks. Nope, no Don in my group.

I know a Don from 3rd deck end zone. He's in the group that's been with my group. Lol

Former section 127 STH here … finally get our pick on Friday! Hoping something perfect is available (that will make up for our lost seats!)

I’ve heard/seen mixed info on parking… we used to be in the Ray Lot… does anyone know, is it officially ‘full?’ Or are they just opening up a few spaces at a time….

Thanks!

They reload on a regular basis.

Wouldn’t be too worried on parking.

As someone that was also displaced from 127, be prepared with multiple spots that you want to go.

Section 111/112 is visitor seating so take that as a warning for when you’re buying.

A bunch of us originally from 127 are now up in 214. Row A, B, C and D. Roughly about 28 of us. I’m sure you’ll see the block of seats taken when you go to select.

Feel free to join us up there!

My time was 12:30PM today. I looked over this last night and again this morning:

2024 Football Online Selection How-To Guide (PDF) - Syracuse Dome Seating Project

2024 Football Online Selection How-To Guide (PDF)

jmadome2024.com

It seemed relative simple. I underlined every reference to what button to press. I watched the count-down and it was like waiting for a rocket to be launched and hoping it wouldn't blow up.

The first problem was on screen #2 where it didn't say "Select the Seat". It said "Preview this Seat". I clicked on that and got screens 3 and 4. I've been in 117 since the Dome opened, against the wall, which i liked because there was space behind the seat for stuff and nobody to spill beer over it. But 117 is being partially converted to wheelchair seating and I decide it was time after 40 years to move closer to midfield, as I can afford it more than I could in 1980. Unfortunately the top row of 116 was not available so I picked #14 in row X, three rows down. So far, so good.

Then I got to #6. I'm supposed to click "Add to Cart" - and there was no "Add to Cart" button!. I looked all over the screen and found nothing. There was no scroll bar to move the view. I could left click on the picture and look at the view from different directions but no "Add to Cart" appeared. There was a button to "Compare Seat". I pressed that and found no "Add to Cart". I hit the back button and there was no "Add to Cart". I felt like James Bond trying to defeat Oddjob before the nuclear bomb counter got to zero.


Instead called my account representative, who told me he could set me up over the phone. He asked what I had selected and said he'd set me up for that seat. He asked if I wanted to park in the same place. I did. he set that up. He asked me if I wanted to use the card they already have and I said yes. He didn't need the security code. He said he was E-mailing me an invoice. The invoice only acknowledged the parking. I called him back and he said the ticket request has to go through a different system and I'm get confirmation of that later. I hope so.

Why can't these things just work the way they are supposed to?

They still use VMS with COBOL programming and big magnetic DEC disc platters for the back end with a DB4 database.

Ok, thanks. Nope, no Don in my group.

The reason I asked is that Don mentioned his group's preference for the top row.

The lot that I saw full when I chose parking last week was the Womens north lot

Yeah they asked for Raynor

I think most of the “lot a” group or whatever they call it now is gone and has been gone.

Lots like Raynor and West they reload almost everyday as inventory lowers

I was just surprised to see the Womens North lot full already and the south was not. Its about twice the size of the south lot and didn't seem full most of the time I walk thru it before games start. the south lot is a mess with its odd design and congested tailgate arrangement.

MTO is a mess for many games because they don't enforce cars leaving and often its full hours before a big game with cars that have no permit.

Just finished. Used to sit in Row A at the 112/113 split(old seating chart, not just section 112). Obviously that wasn't a choice. All lower bowl Row A is 99% gone. I think there was maybe 2 seats left somewhere. If memory serves me correctly there's not a ton left on the home side, most remaining is outside the 20s. Visitor side has plenty outside the 20s. 113 is almost empty. Limited Row A upper bowl remaining. 200's first 5 rows mostly gone. Somebody asked about 117. From what I remember there were a few left in the middle of the section. 113 was still pretty empty and where I ended up. Ended up Aisle, 4th row. Disappointed I couldn't get back into Row A but this moves me out of the endzone and closer to the 10. I did have to pay more. As for parking. I checked West for fun(my wife can't make that walk), 2 spots remaining. I'll be at skytop as I have for the past 15. Overall, mildly satisfied. As I mentioned before, I've enjoyed all my seats throughout the years for different reasons. Here's to another new chapter. Good luck everyone.

I should add most of this is referring to lower bowl. I didn't look much at the 300s.

That’s unfortunate about the 200s. Guess I’ll be looking for seats somewhere completely different

We were just notified by our ticket rep (who has not been helpful) that Ray Lot is indeed full…. And the hits just keep coming

If I remember correctly, 'mostly gone'. I think there were some pockets in the middle of the sections. You might get lucky. But if you want aisle/first couple rows you might want to think about option B, C, and D.

one reason I went to the Womens building is it is the same walk as from the buses, its flat, but its fast in and out. You can be in your car and out in the same time you wait for a bus to Skytop.

Yeah... Raynor/West lots are like that too (but up/down hill) depends on the beer/food tailgate consumption for issues, but you can get out of campus on some streets that are not backed up quick.

I need 6 together. I don’t pick until the 17th so I doubt they’ll be much left before the overhang.

Hopefully the first five rows in the 200's are actually gone and they aren't experiencing technical difficulties still. I had a friend move his entire group over to a corner 200 level section that was fully open but was showing on the site as being completely full. He only found out because he spoke to his ticket rep on the phone and he found the glitch.

Someone I know (not me) got tickets this morning. Previously had seats in the lower bowl in the east endzone which is for students now. Was able to get 2 seats in the 100 level around the 10 yard line on the home side. He's somewhat satisfied. He used to have 4 seats. He'd previously been told that if he only bought 2 he'd get a refund for the deposit for the other 2. Now they're telling him the refund is up to management's discretion. Also, all spots in both the Raynor and West parking are gone. His rep confirmed that. (His rep told him 2 days ago he wouldn't have a problem getting parking there when it was his time this morning. He couldn't.) He also said that he saw there were seats in the 200s still available.

 

[UpstateSM]

I am bringing an extra pair of pants to court Monday in case I get the seats I have been dreaming of

 

[justgold315]

If you have 4 tickets, can you get two parking passes?

Thanks for the update. I am a bit surprised and dubious that all of West parking is sold out. That would mean the Standart lot is already full which to me is highly unlikely. Now maybe SU had to hold back spots or they lost spots or something but I find it hard to believe that is sold out if there isn't something else at work here.

 

[JeremyCuse]

No, you need to have at least 5

I think you need at least 5 to get 2 parking passes.

Thank you.
