those who want to keep their tickets pay the higher prices. Instead, force fans to join CC and then not be guaranteed the same seats is a non-gamer. Just raise ticket prices if the goal is to increase revenue. No lottery.

It’s not a question of right or wrong on BYU ticket prices & selection priority

BYU marketing department is pretty awful.

Marketing dept is ok, PR in the other hand is out of touch with reality.

Not all fans say that. Most of us have been living with getting the best available having diff seats every year.

It’s not all fans but clearly it’s more than a few. It also isn’t surprising

Sure. It's hard to see a sweet deal you've grown accustom to go away. Doesn't mean anyone's being mistreated.

The process really didn't change and the reseating was long overdue. It's been

What you bring up isn’t the issue at all and you’re right but that doesn’t

What specifically is "the issue" and how could they have rolled it out better?

BYUtka

Mar 28, 11:44am

I can say it’s not rolled out well without specifics because this is a fan

Those fans would have been upset with anything that didn't allow them to keep

How could they have made the change,a much needed one, without upsetting people?

Hahahaha. Didn't Trump coin a phrase for this sort of thing you are pulling?

The process was horrible before in other ways too.

Exactly, that's why the "reseating" was long overdue. There is some value in

Yup, I was very happy with the process this year.

You keep bringing up the value and how it’s been tremendous. What you’re say

Then please clarify. I'm not keen to argue if I am just misunderstanding you.

I disagree and I think there’s plenty of corporations that would agree-

BYU kinda did that. People losing their seats had the opportunity to donate and

IDK... I talked to a few different people who got an amount from the ticket

BYUtka

Mar 28, 10:15pm

How can BYU know the amount? It depends on the donations of fans. BYU gave out suggested bands based on historic norms,
