2024 Seating Changes

I basically am in the same seats as you. I think they're a great value. Arent you in the other school's fan's section though? There can be pros to that.

Also there’s no doubt they’re a good value, but when you’re going from seats in 127, that were close to the action and not finding comparable seats due to the student section, it’s kind of a tough pill to swallow…

Vinnie did me good I got end row 30 yard, low seating. about 5 down from where I was. All my regular spots where gone. and I Couldn't jump over as those 400/575 bands are alot narrower than they listed in the pictures.
FYI West Lot parking is almost gone.
Expand...

I would be extremely shocked if West Parking was “almost gone”

Generally they load about 50 spots and then when they are low reload them…..

Don’t take that for hospel. In past years they would load blocks of spots daily, not the entire inventory. Not sure if it was a restriction from the TM system or what the case was, but as I watched and worked to ensure our entire equipment crew was accommodated I would see the graphic drop to a few dozen spots at the end of a day and be completely full the next.

Good news

Yeah my only worry is I’m on the other side of the section and a bit worried about that wall that creeps in from the suite.

Ended up sitting right behind the group that was across the aisle from us in 127. They were also displaced

None of us (10 in my group) are thrilled about where we ended up. We absolutely loved our seats in 127 and for us to keep our group together it just wasn’t in the cards to be in the 100s. It’s actually really disappointing as we donated extra etc and did everything we could to try and secure a spot we were happy with.

Unfortunately with displacing us with the student section and having little to no comparable seats available, it forced us to the 200s.

If we don’t love our seat location it’s highly unlikely that we renew and remain season ticket holders….

Hoping that I feel differently once I am in them. However, I was originally in the 200s and had worked my way to my seats in 127 through upgrades over the years…it’s honestly a little disheartening if I’m being totally honest….
Expand...
Feel for the big groups like this. Though being able to stay together is still a win. and I do think you’re going to enjoy your new seats when we’re 11-0 going into Miami.

But I get being annoyed working your way up for them. wonder how many big groups there are like this? It’s probably unavoidable for there to be some unhappy groups in specific price points.

Agreed. However in the off chance you don’t get one OburgOrange, PM me. I have an extra one that a friend isn’t going to use. I increased my ticket purchase this year and got to pick a second.

Very generous of you. Thanks. I think I will be ok as far as parking goes. Now, can you fix my seating issue!? Lol

Ended up going to the 200s

214 row C/D 5 tickets in each on the aisle

Just couldn’t find what I was looking for in the 100s at my price point

Feeling a bit disappointed but it is what it is….
Expand...
Was row B taken and that’s what pushed you to row C/D or wanting to stay on the aisle? Row D is as far back in the 200s I want to go.
 
Just an update for those picking in the next few days..I picked this afternoon, nothing really left in lower bowl from the 25 yd lines in to the 50 on su bench side. I got bumped from su bench side 8 rows up on the 37 to 8 rows up on the 28, there will be a lot more ripples as the days go on as Upperdeck has been rightfully warning..a good amount on visitor side on 40ish lower bowl, those will likely go fast now.

Plenty in 300s home and visitor from 35s in to 50s on both sides, but those too will start to move. Tons available in corners. Everyone be prepared for movement to increase in distance away from prior locations in the next week, it will grow exponentially in that time.

Good luck to everyone, I got gut wrenched hard today, plenty of others will unfortunately be getting the same. Wishing everyone left to pick the best gang, hang in there.
 
Even if we had not lost any seats many people were going to have to move a bit as people jumped to seats they could never get into that were held for 20-30 yrs. Removing seats just made it even worse.

Row A/B were taken on the aisle

Yeah I originally was C/D/E

But didn’t want to go past D

Yup it’s only going to get worse in the coming days….

Think we will start seeing a lot more unhappy people….

Yep. Exact case in point, as I told one of my good su friends today, I spent almost 10k on my season tix on just the last 5 yrs alone. And bc I refused to participate in the su money grab to move up levels (I think I have spent enough myself), anyone who had seats even in $99 dollar seats last year, that one time donated barely a quarer of what I have over the last several years since oct 1, could jack me. Sucks.

That would suck but I'm not sure there are many of those people. If you were a 99 ticket holder with four seats...for just one year, you didnt have many points. To actually move up a number of levels, that same person has to donate probably $1,500 to $5k to really make a difference. Do we think there are that many low end ticket holders doing that AND then paying the new ticket prices.

I do encourage folks to sit on the visitor side -- been there a number of years and it's a lot of fun. We need more SU fans who will stay there and won't sell their seats. Too many infiltrators.

I think the issue is, there is a lot of season ticket holders who worked there way to some really really good seats by upgrading over the years.

While they may not have been the biggest donors, they were reliable through thick and thin and showed up and bought tickets through everything.

Some people had season tickets in “low priority” areas because they became season ticket holders recently. Some of these people took advantage of this situation and donated some very good coin. These people likely went in the first couple weeks and have bumped some long time fans from prime spots.

It’s TBD if these people will keep their tickets after this season. If they don’t, it will be a shame. They were the bread and butter for a very long time for the university, even in the darker times.

Will these new people that have taken others seats be as reliable and stick through everything? That’s also TBD.

With that being said, with all the changes that they were making with moving the student section, losing seats etc, I’m not sure there was any other way to do other than the way that they did it. It certainly wasn’t an easy place for Syracuse University to be in…

Well said JR. Only better way, in my case, woukd be for SU to say donor rank goes on what you have given over the last 3-8 yrs, not in a 7 month whwt have you given me lately grab. That would def encompass us diehards who buy seasons ev yr and trudge up there and yell and holler when we have been medicre to bad all the way.

Having said that, this would not help our brethren in the end zone getting utterley jacked for the new student section. Our friends there are screwed from day 1. And I am pissed for them as much as for me, believe me.

But the $99 dollar person probably had to donate $1000 above ticket prices to get ahead of you by 2 levels as your STH pts would still be ahead of them in any single level.

Where you really get hurt is that people who do 2 sports moved ahead of many long time FB only STHs
