PSL's Next Year for UNI football???

[run&blade]

A season ticket holder told me he got a letter saying they would be forcing PSLs next year for football season tickets?

Is this true and what are the exact details?

On the surface this sounds like suicide.

hadn't heard anything about "PSLs", though they will be re-organizing the season ticket seating assignments prior to next season (I believe for both football and MBB).

And that probably takes into account PSC donation levels and whatnot.

Absolutely no PSL's. They are re-seating the Dome for the 2011 season for the first time ever. "Prime" seating (between the 40's and secondarily between the 30's) will require PSC membership. This is one of the most positive things that we have seen at UNI. Basically, to sit between the 40's you will need to be donating at least $100 per season ticket that you purchase. In other words, a Purple level donor ($500) who gets 4 season tickets is all good. A non-donor sitting on the 45 yard line will have decisions to make. Great move by the PSC to move us into the 20th century and put us somewhat on par with our counterparts in the MVFC.

Agree 100% UNI is one of only 2 institutions in the Valley that does not require a donation for premium seating. This is long over due and a much needed policy.

The other is Indiana State.


Great move here.

It's time to pony up for your great seats, or give them to someone who does donate.

My only concern is; will it make the prime seating in the Dome look like the prime seating in the McLeod Center??

I don't think so. We actually arent reseating the dome....if your a PSC member and giving at the level you need to be to sit there...then nothing will change. Reseating would allow the bigger donors to come in and take all the premium seats....like the McLeod Center.

The idea behind this was to encourage the several hundred people sitting between the 40's that aren't donating to the PSC to become donors. Times have changed and we need everyone to step up and invest in Panther Athletics.

This.

If you already meet the requirement of $100 donated to the PSC per ticket you don't have to move.

It isn't an extra $100 on top of your PSC donations.
It isn't an extra $100 per ticket.



So, if you have 6 tickets, but are only Purple level PSC you need to donate more to the PSC or move your seats. There is a one time thing where you can move tickets into another account if you have tickets for a friend. It seems pretty simple to understand.

I'll be interested to see how hard the PSC/Athletic Department/Ticket Office is on the time frame/due dates. I know in the past they have been very very lenient with letting people do things they were to damn lazy to do before the due date because they knew they could get away with doing it after the due day. That caused all kinds of problems for everyone. I hope they start setting due dates for things and sticking to it. If you don't have your renewal order in by the due date tough you lose your seats.

All very reasonable. If it affects very many people, I would be surprised, and disappointed. About time for anybody actually affected to step up.

A few more supporting memberships on Panthernation wouldn't hurt either!

What the heck is psl?

Re: PSL's Next Year for UNI football???

So you are saying anyone who is a PSC member and has only two season tickets will get seats between the 40's next year? That would be a nice change and I would say it would affect quite a few people who have joined PSC in the past 10 years.

Only if a bunch get moved because they don't give to psc and decide not to join to keep there seats.

Does that upset people enough to not buy season tickets, and not even come to the games at all?

Off topic reference here, but on Madden (Certain Years) Franchise mode you have the options of having PSL's and it say it is a great source of revenue, but often upsets fans.

What would keep them from not renewing their tickets? The fact that enough people decided to be at the PSC level needed to keep their tickets near the 50 and they couldn't move closer to the 50, like they wouldn't have been able to do anyway given the way the reseatting is normally done?

OR


Is having to actually contribute to the PSC enough to drive away season ticket holders?


Either way if someone has a problem with it then they are a baby about it.

A fair point, but a risk to be taken in these financial times.

PSL = personal seat license
