Purchasing 2014 Football Season Tickets (re: Faculty/Staff email)

Submitted by samdrussBLUE on

I am hoping to get some feedback from those who received the faculty/staff email to purchase tickets this year (donate $100 instead of $500, faculty/staff discount, etc). 

Were you allowed to directly speak with someone about seat location and availability before purchasing?  They offered me a ticket package through this process, but it is generic (in that there are no seat locations/assignments) and they want this to be paid first.  They have told me seat assignments will be determined in the summer.

Has anyone else been offered this and "forced" to pay for the season tickets before seeing where you will have seats?

Part of me wants season tickets but the other part doesn't know where to start and thinks it's complicated.

I just got an email today offering me more tickets.  Full fees and in the endzone.  Said they would be very low or very high.  Looks like faculty and staff didn't snap up the leftovers, so I'm sure a bunch of people got the email today.

But the multi-game packs are usually $85/game (I think)? While the homecoming game and I'm assuming a game like Utah will be available for cheaper on Stubhub, I am assuming the PSU ticket alone would be enough to make up the difference. Night game and biggest home game of the year is a recipe for $200+ on Stubhub.

When you do that math: three games through U-M at even $90/game is $270. If we assume the PSU night game hits $200 on stub hub, I would leave myself with only $70 to get a better deal for two games. So, in my estimation (which is probably wrong lol), I can support the athletic department and pay the same amount.

Someone that I know who has been a season ticket holder was just offered the additional season tickets which will be in the endzone. The cost per ticket prior to the PSD is $455. The PSD per ticket is $75 so you're looking at a total of $530 per ticket in the endzone. Its gonna be more as you get a better location but for these that was the cost.

Not sure. I wonder that myself. You would think that if the season was purchased this year since the seats are available that going forward you could also get them as well. It would be odd that it would be a one year deal but to be honest I don't know for sur. I may actually contact the ticket office to find out.
