2024 Seating Changes

Keep in mind no one's picking memorial day and who knows how many if any they are doing on Friday as most places close early for the holiday weekend.

And also add in that 400 is the overall Donor number not the FB number. As Jeremy said we dont really know what Friday brings for actual selection that day. The first 3 levels are money driven by more than ticket purchases, after that it starts to move towards STs for a good period of time in both sports then the single sports as you go down the levels for people who don't donate extra money. If friday is a light day 400 could be close to 300-350 in the FB process.

Good point about Memorial Day, although the donor rank listed is actually higher I was told than it is for football since as has been pointed out not all are football STHs, so it is actually less than 300 for this process but I hope that it is the case that time slots have been allocated to allow time to check and make selections without feeling like you have to rush. If that is the case then at least that will be helpful and a good thing and a reason the process has a longer time frame than I had originally thought it would. My Rep said that I should be in a good position when my time comes to pick. Not complaining but just trying to figure out more about the process. Going to games especially football games is something I do look forward to so probably more concern than should be.
 
Yup, I know my Donor rank and Fb rank is about 40% lower.

If you have a number under 300 and go tues then maybe friday is a non day or the number guess of 100 is too high? Maybe there are some ties and more than 1 is in a window? We never really heard if they are completely exclusive windows of purchase.

100 a day puts me with about 25 or so of my time slot guess. Maybe its 8-5 and a day is a bit more than 100 but your 300 would have happened already?

I think you'll be in really good shape, can't imagine you would have any issues getting yoru old seats back and parking will be zero problem whatsoever. I believe the first few days are higher end guys and some high rollers. SU is likely taking it a little slower to ensure things go smoothly and seeing what patterns if any development. I would note that Friday may not have any picks so essentially today and tomorrow are probably the only two days before it re-opens on next Tuesday. Don't think you'd have to really rush at all as that 5 window doesn't have dozen of others logging on at the same time. I am recommending everyone have at least a plan B in their minds if the original spot isn't available. I certainly think you could take your time and your going early enough that even taking a few hours if you wanted wouldn't make much of a difference. For those going in June though I wouldn't recommend taking more then 15-20 minutes at most.

I would guess that they are going by giving level. So Day 1 might only have 25 or so people in the first giving level. Day 2 might only have 50 people (75) in the second level. Day 3 might have 75 people (150) or the 1st half of the third level, and Day 4 another 75 people (225) or the 2nd half of the third level. So by the time you get to Tuesday you are in the 4th level and #226-#326 overall.
 
If HRE is guessing correctly 400 would be inside level 4 and if friday is a non day or a soft day that would explain it. Even level 4 only has 200 people in it. Level 5 is where it starts to ramp up.

Let me further challenge your math. The first couple tiers are 10 minute windows. Then it goes to 5 minute windows. Then the bottom several tiers are 2 minute windows.

2 min windows seems challenging. Some people are going to need to call their rep. You might not be able to get through as there are 15 other people picking within 15 mins of you.

People may way to be prepared to make their own picks, I would advise against relying on their rep. I know of a person who asked to be called when their pick was up and the rep essentially said no he had to many others and that it was easy to do online.

That would make sense as I go June 3 and my time starts at 1:18

So that would imply at Tier 6 and lower you’re going to be 2 monitor windows…

Most of the higher end guys/gals will be going next week, that's likely your best bet to get a screen shot.
Expand...
It’s also hard to get a complete screenshot that is useful. You have to zoom in to certain sections and take a bunch of different screenshots to actually see seats. The zoomed out level doesn’t show actual availability.

it is very easy. The most confusing aspect is the parking pass button is one thing and seating another. Beyond that it’s just picking seats on a map.

I think people just need to move beyond the concept of getting the same exact seats they had before. Some don’t exist. Some can’t be picked because of the student section or the new premium sections. And others will be taken. If your standard is the same exact seat, you will be disappointed. If it’s getting something similar, most will be happy.

There was more than 100 for day one in terms of rank. But not sure how many actually have seats so actual number of people could have been less. But based on the map I suspect quite a few picked tickets.

If someone wants to add or remove seats you cannot do it online.

Seems odd then unless Friday is an off day? If there are about 100 in each level and Days 1-3 are T-TH then day 4 on the next T would make sense.

I think they also realized a lot of fans would be traveling.

Ya it makes sense, as you noted people are traveling and SU probably has less then a full crew as well on Friday before vacation. With Monday being memorial day SU probably also doesn't want anything to go haywire late in the day Friday that can't be resolved until Tuesday morning at the latest. The last thing they need is upperdeck running into an issue at 445pm on a Friday of a holiday weekend, lol.

Well there you go. New math every day. That would also explain some of the numbers we are seeing. Much more backloaded.
