Seat upgrade window

Anybody look into changing seat locations this coming season. Seems like a moot point since they are restacking the entire arena in another year or so but didn't know if people looked into it and if it was worthwhile or not.

Anyone attend any of the lunch and learn sessions about the mandatory location change? What info was provided?

I just went to one of these. I think there are going to be some very angry people when they learn they can't get their same seats which they have sat in the last 15 years, particularly people who still have existing contracts for their seats.

That said, there are some cool things they are going to do- like build a new sports bar.

I met with one of the Cintas seat selection people in Athletics to voice my concerns as well as find out how (or if) I could do anything to increase the chances that that a bunch of us could stay together. I found out that I am in excellent shape to keep or even improve my two seats because I have more than double the average point level for people in my section. But my friends are in trouble because they are well below the average point total for our section. So how this plays out remains in flux. And the explanation as to why they are doing this continues to make little sense; it seems to be purely a money grab as I see it. But here is the link to see what the average point totals are for various sections of Cintas. So by looking up your Musketeer point level, you can see how you stack up against "the competition".

Isn't it always a money grab?

We put one on here in Indy. It was very well done and answered many questions. If one is in your area and you have concerns. I suggest you go.

Welcome to big time college athletics...Xavier is now in this stratosphere and in some cases that is going to slightly suck. However, I think we all can agree that this is what we want Xavier to be for better or worse. If you or those around you get upset and decide they are not going to renew, the reality is that someone else will take those seats whether in the form of a single person or a corporate deal.

If this gets ridiculous, I will just do a 6 pack and use my son's free seats.

One way around that is that you can buy up to 4 tickets. So two of your buddies can give you their money and you can pay for their seats.
