I love this thread

As a reminder to everyone, contact Dan for help with purchasing new season tickets. Dan recently assisted me with the purchase of 4 new season tickets in addition to the 4 that I already have.

you just made Bees' post even more legit.

So Cuse should take the hit on the donation but get the higher revenue on the tickets for the same people at the end of the day who are sitting in those seats anyway.

I was just making a joke but yes Syracuse should try to do something about it. It may take enticing people, but those seats do need to be filled more so than the corners.

While each person has to do what works for them, this thread is indicative of SUs problem which they still refuse to address. Everyone looks for the cheap seats in the end zone and corners. Between the 20's don't sell because of the donation levels. Fix it SU. Take a hit for a few years. Our crowds are gonna be full at the ends and sporadically empty between the 20's.

While I agree that the donation amounts are out of whack, it is nearly impossible to do with demand so low. Even if SU went to A $440, B $330, C $220, D $110 the school would lose more money in lower donations than they would gain in extra ticket sales. If there were people willing to fill those seats, then sure SU should lower the donation amounts. Also how many people are football only? That makes a big difference in whether to lower the football donation levels or not. In addition, SU should be trying to sell to the BBall only people as the football seats are dirt cheap. An A level football seat would be just $245 for the season (tickets + donation).

The main reasons I took for season tickets in section 208 were

1 ) My wife has had a hip replacement and cannot climb up or down those high steps without a railing.Last Year I had to get under 1 arm and the usher got under the other.Those stairs are very hard for seniors.
2) The 225.00 was a decent price per seat with decent sight lines when the ball was on the other end. ( I bought 4 )
3} The location was close to the elevator so my wife didn't have to climb stairs.

Glad to have you guys aboard. Anyone buying tickets, seasons or otherwise should contact Dan Bartlett. If you have friends who need tickets, send them his way. He will make sure that you get the best seats for your money. Being a fan first, he knows what you want in a ticket.

Dan, did I say it right? You know where to send my fee.

Dan just helped sign up 2 newbies for the Consigliere Crew for 2016. Working on 2 - 4 more. Crew stands at 16 members and counting from just 2 5 years ago!

One thing I'll add for out of town fans who buy season tix (also applies to in town), the SU website has added the much needed modern functionality that makes it simple to transfer tix you can't use to someone's email address.

We have 6 in our group and pass them around to whoever can go. Couple clicks and done, takes about 10 seconds.

Agree with that. Real simple. I had to miss about 5-6 games because of conflicts with my daughters games. Easy as hell. Even last minute using the phone and the recipient can enter with their phone. Days of meeting someone someplace are over.

Does it make sense to make the move to the 200 level from the upper 300 end zone? I assume you want to be pretty far forward in 200 so you don't deal with the overhang. Go Orange!

 

[Finwad32]

Actually, great thread to bring this up. I know someone looking for the corner 200's, you know the very corners where there's only a handful of seats? Does anybody here utilize those?

I think the corner 200s are still $225...just the end zone 200s are $125...BTW, those are great seats ($125 end zone 200s) assuming you get in the first couple rows.

Hey, are we doing the thing where we can buy season tickets for others who can't afford them again? As an out of towner I will be getting them again, but would also like to make sure the dome is full. Didn't we do something like that a few years ago. Donate tickets to local students?

 

[Mr Peabody]

I've had friends give me their tickets between the twenties when they can't make a game but I head for the third level where there are empty seats because I like the viewing angles better. Back in the day you couldn't do that because the seats were full and hopefully we get back to that point.

I've never seen an usher at the Dome refuse you from moving towards the middle. In fact, I would have the PA announcer, when midway through the first quarter if it's pretty sparse between the 20s, make an announcement and encourage folks to move closer like some baseball teams do when the game goes into extra innings. Sure its not "fair" to those who paid more money, but its better for the atmosphere and the crowd noise and ultimately for the good of the program.

I absolutely agree with you.

But until they dont have to make the announcement, get rid of the donation requirement on the top shelf.

It is my understanding they cannot be purchased since they are overflow seats for the private box directly behind them.

 

[CuseOnly]

Not if people sneak over to the 20's...

First rule of sneaking from the end zone into the 20's is we don't talk about sneaking from the end zone into the 20's.

Damn, man.

 

[llandz]

Dan helped me also when I got my seats yesterday. Definitely go to Dan. And Dan I think I am responsible for about 25 seats so far from this thread. What was my commission again on that?

Totally agree, my friend and I have been in section 115, row c for years. 38 yard line directly behind visiting bench. Excellent sight into the interaction between the coaches and players. However, our seasons are pushing 700 per and if we moved 20 feet to our right across the Isle we would pay 1/3 the price snd still have great seats at the 28-30 yd line. Hey SU, what do we get for that donation that is 60-70% of the total price? At least offer an invite to the football wing and/or a field pass for a game.

 

[Cusester]

Big shout out to Dan for helping me purchase 4 seats in 318. Very personable young man who I'm sure has a bright future with the university.

Dan, how are season tickets going compared to previous years?

 

[Grabberorang]

Just got two in 323. 1st time for season tickets

 

[Consigliere]

And while we're at it, looking for anyone with access to a West Lot parking pass for sale to bring in a rather large, new piece of equipment for FMTs. PM me if you can help.

 

[Ozcuse]

I was in section 323 Row B and I gave up my season tickets last year. I definitely regret not being able to get back into seats that good for $125!

I will be at the Spring game this year trying to find the best remaining seats for our group of 4. Budget is $125 per ticket.

Dan reached out today to help us move from section 311 where we've been the past 7 years down to section 212. He is the best and can't thank him enough for his help.
