Those first 8 rows had 544 seats? And last year they were $650 each (although I think some were B last year too). Going to $2500 is a big jump.
This year there are 384 seats? So at a minimum you have 160 displaced. But I bet you less than half of those 384 were in those seats last year. I am sure people who were in $650 seats on the away side and upper decks moved into those seats too. So it is more likely around 350 people were displaced from 101 and 130 rows A to H.
Then you have rows I through S which lost 8 seats a row? So about 175 total, which brings you to 525 displaced in 101 and 130. Rows T through X were removed for ADA seating. So about another 340, and a total of 865. Finally Y to ZZ is about 35 seats, bringing the grand total to about 900 displaced seats from A level 101 and 130.
And that is without factoring in people adding more seats. If you had 4 last year but wanted 6, you couldn't add two right next to you. But now you can. So I bet that the number of displaced 101 and 130 seats is over 1k.
The trickle down effect will be fascinating to watch. Also the change in pricing and how that impacts people's choices. On the home sideline B became A, C became B, and D became C. This will cause some people to move, on top of the displaced ones. But you also have the additional C seats from the removed students. On the away sideline A became B, so you could have the opposite effect where more people want to come in.
I think people who were A or B level will be fine. I would not be surprised though if some C level people will have to shop around for seats that they like. The process might take a little longer for them. It would be nice if we could look at the open seats map beforehand like during the normal upgrade process. I think things would run a lot smoother that way. It is hard to have a plan if you have no clue what the possibilities are.
