If people b!tch about those prices, I don't know what will satisfy them.

Re: Season tickets on sale

And...ALL fees are INCLUDED in those prices!! No more service fees etc. So, when you compare to last year's all-in price, this is a huge improvement and had better make a serious impact on season ticket sales. If it doesn't, then no one can complain when they go back to last year's prices (since that actually made a huge increase in revenue).

Re: Season tickets on sale

When exactly does the PSC year run from, is it June - May, is it calendar, or what? When they want to know your PSC level are they talking about last years sign up that we are still in I think, or this upcoming year which isn't started yet?

I believe you will have to have your PSC pledge for the year that is about to start paid in full by June 1st to receive the $99 season tickets. Fund drive is about to kick off so if the year "begins" in March, you have three months to pay your full amount to get the discount.

Hopefully a Fund Drive volunteer can confirm or correct me.

Actually, you don't have to have your pledge fully paid (unless you want to). This year there will be no monthly "bill me" option like in the past. You will either have to provide a credit card to have your donation pulled in 12 equal installments, direct debit from your bank account to pull 12 equal payments, or you can pay it in full within a month of pledging (basically paid in full by May). If you are a UNI employee, you can still do payroll deduct, too. As long as you have provided a credit card or bank account to have your pledge pulled from, you will be eligible for the PSC benefits immediately.

And yes, the PSC benefits year is the academic / athletic year (Fall 2009 thru Summer 2010).

Well then I'm confused. The PDF ticket ordering form linked in the above article says, "Discounts only apply to the number of allowed tickets per PSC membership levels and your PSC pledge must be paid in full on June 1 to receive the discounted season ticket price."

And above that states that after June 1, prices are $120 for adults.

Re: Season tickets on sale

I'm surprised there is nothing about tix to the Iowa game on this. Anyone have any insight?

[TravelingPanther]

Re: Season tickets on sale

I also assumed iowa tix would be on the form. Its most likely because we have less tickets than at Iowa State.

Re: Season tickets on sale

why would we have less tickets?

A "paid" PSC membership is achieved by either: A) paying in full; B) giving a valid credit card to have installment payments made (don't have to be 12 months...could be 6 equal monthly); C) bank account for auto debit (same rule as credit card). In the PSC, any of these are called "Cash in Hand". The problem has been with people choosing to be billed monthly for their donation. The "welchers" account for about $80,000 in unpaid pledges per year, which is not chump change to UNI. Thus, no more "bill me monthly" option. I personally like the credit card option. Easy and less painful to pay over a year's time. Makes it more feasible for everyone to increase your pledge amount this year!!

Gotcha, makes sense. Thanks for the clarification!

Re: Season tickets on sale

I assume it's because Iowa makes less tickets available to visitors than does ISU. Anyone have numbers?

No problem...pass on the good word to anyone you come into contact with. $$ will be extra important this year with the budget cuts.

Re: Season tickets on sale

Not bi###ing about the prices because they are a steal, but I did notice no Under 30 PSC discount any more. Is this true? I just want to know if I can save even more $$.

Re: Season tickets on sale

No under 30 discount...that comes with the PSC membership still, though...and then the season discount comes with the PSC membership. So, indirectly, yes there still is an under 30 discount...it just isn't specifically for season tickets.
