2024 Seating Changes

SUFaninNJ said:
I found a ticket on the aisle a few rows back and selected that, only to be told that I couldn't have that available ticket. When I asked why, he said that they don't sell single seats on the aisle. I said, "So, I'm being penalized because I'm only buying one seat?" He didn't say yes in so many words, but that was pretty much the vibe. Why he thought I'd jump at the chance to go from paying $150 a ticket to $725 is beyond me. "I'm sorry, we don't have anymore Ford Fiesta's available. Perhaps you'd be interested in this Escalade." Not the most customer friendly experience I've ever had. If it wasn't for the prospect of seeing what this new staff brings to the table in the fall, I might have just asked for a refund and stayed home. If next year doesn't open up a preferable seat or better parking opportunities, I will.

This is where my dad and I are. They better win us back or I will go funnel cash to my actual Alma mater.

But you still have to buy two Ford Fiestas, because one will always be in the shop.

1. Leaving a single on an aisle is a no-no. At least if it's int he middle of a section there are a few options for people to buy if you didn't renew.
2. Of course a ticket sales rep is going to try and upsell you. Why wouldn't they ask you if you wanted a better seat? Especially if you're looking to switch in a year, it's a nice year to try something new.
3. You'll never have a 100% renewal, things will open up next year.
 
So if there are 3 tickets on an aisle you can only buy all 3 even if you only want 1 but if there are 3 seats in the middle you can buy just one?

They would not sell us 2 of the open 3 in the middle of a row. Rep said we had to buy all 3. Not sure if he would have sold us 1.

The Ticketmaster and ProVenue websites do the same thing when you purchase Syracuse Crunch & Syracuse Mets tickets.

If three seats are open they will let you buy one seat on either end but not two because that leaves one seat open.

1. If I was allowed to take the aisle it wouldn’t be open. The open seat would be the next one over.

2. I’m sure he’s got access to at least some if not all of my previous 22 years as a season ticket holder. Moving from the third deck in the end zone to first deck at midfield is not just asking if I want a better seat, it’s asking for a major change in purchasing habits and financial commitment that have never been displayed in the previous two decades. Suggesting I move below to the 200 level, or closer to the middle in the 300s would’ve been a much more realistic ask.

3. As I stated, I’ll see how things are looking at the start of next year before making a decision about the future.

I get why they do it, I guess we just feel a bit duped. My dad has had seasons since the dome opened and our rep even talked us into moving up a donation level and we still couldn’t get the seats we wanted, and when we found ones one section over we were screwed because of the 3. We did just barely sneak into West Lot, which is great, but now with the parking craziness it seems like the tailgate is having issues as well. We are townies who generously donate our money and time to a school none of our family attended. I hope the school made their cash grab and I hope those people actually show up and don’t no show or sell their tickets.

Hopefully next year we can move back into the area we want, or maybe our run comes to an end and we find a new place to spend our time and money.

Hope you can get back to your spot next year. We unequivocally need locals to be at both tailgates and games, and en masse. I'd guess 75% of the Dome resides in the 315. We need everyone. You and all the 315 are loved and so needed, keep comin'!!!!

Kind of sad how many of these stories are popping up where it’s “I’ll see what happens next year but they might have lost me”

Id like to think most of us in this boat will renew once we realize it’s actually okay, however, there’s the possibility we don’t.

And for every one person that posts their disappointment on here, there is probably 5-10 more that don’t know this site exists and feels the same I would imagine.

I would roughly say it’s 50/50 with people happy and people upset
 
I'm there. Approaching semi retirement where we winter south, RDU, the plan has been to wait until Dec 1 every year, as SU football has been our thing for many years. This year in my new seats will determine if future donations go to tobacco road, and we leave 3 months earlier.
 
So, because you would be leaving earlier to winter in the south, you would change your team allegiance and root for a team there??

Allegiance is a tough answer. Attendance is not. It's a conundrum, but it's my name image and likeness at stake now. Im a free agent. LOL

Probably closer to 80/20. A lot of people don't care as much as you think they do. There's a vocal minority which probably skews your thinking here but at the end of the day for most people they just want to go to the game.

It makes me wonder what the system would if you chose seats on either side of an aisle

I had 2 seats in Row H and 3 seats in Row R in the same section. I couldn't figure out how to make it work. My tix rep fixed it for me.
 
I'm just salty that there was zero prior notice that 250/251 would be unavailable. They couldn't even call/email ticket holders in those sections to say they wouldn't be available? If I wasn't on this board I would have had no idea.

Does anyone know why these aren't available?
 
Picking today. Can someone please remind me what section opposing fans are getting moved to? Thought I read that here.
I'm a Harrison lot guy and I'm sure it won't be a problem but if I can't get in I may be out.
 
Part of me wonders why SU doesnt do parking in the big field off euclid and comstock on game days for fb. I knows its athletic and it would destroy things but MONEY.

111 and 112 primarily

Possible they can also be in the 300s above too.

I only think Stanford will bring more than a 1000 this year.

Yukon maybe...but I doubt it unless they are like 6-4 or better.
