I don't recall Bees asking me what preferred level seating I needed to explain or prove that I know how the pricing works.  I used my personal experience for seats I was interested in.  I do know how the pricing in the dome works for pretty much all levels.

His argument was that people who pay $100 for seats end up moving and sitting in seats that are 5x more expensive.  I responded that they should sell the seats or get ushers to stop that behavior.

I look at tickets very similar to hotel occupancy which is probably the closest thing.  There are a finite number or rooms available for a finite number of days.  In sports there are a finite number of games and a finite number of seats to sell.  The object for both is to make money of course but it is also to have maximum occupancy while maximizing revenue.  Once a game is over you no longer have the option to sell that seat or hotel room after a day is over.  It is simply lost revenue you can never get back.

In my experience in looking at those seats that required the 5k donation, I looked at seats two rows to the left away from midfield and low and behold the seats were similar in cost and didn't require a 5k donation.  There should never be that large a swing to move over 1 section for a difference of literally 2 -3 seats away from mid field.  Donation shouldn't be that large and should be more gradual as you move from the 50.
