I'm so low on priority points, they don't even bother to give me a time slot.

I assume the 3bl bleachers are true bleachers with no seat backs. Can you bring your own stadium seat or rent seat backs?
You can go here and buy a season long seat back for your season tickets.
SEASON LONG SEATBACKS | 12THMAN SEATS
i reached out to these guys because they didn't have olsen listed on that link. they confirmed they are still the provider for olsen but havent updated that yet on the link. this will go up around the 1st or 2nd week of jan. they will sell seats for full season or the 18 game package. they havent set price yet, but last year was $40/seat-full season.

I found seatbacks on olsen faq page and they have a width limit of 16" if you bring your own. I have about 10 of these laying around the garage and they narrowest one is 16.5 inches!!! anyways, 12thman seats seems like a reasonable deal to have your space secured and not have to carry in your own.

Having used these for the last 2 seasons, I can confirm that it is WAY better than hauling your own to every single game. Granted, they aren't as comfy as what I would bring but I'm willing to make that trade-off.
I find it interesting that they offer a price for the 18 game package as well because there is no way that they are going out and removing them and then putting them back for specific games or series. Those things are zip-tied down with an industrial zip tie.

Yup ! Got mine. Thanks for bumping thread. I couldn't find it to share the news with everyone.

I talked to someone at 12th man foundation. They said that the lowest priority point ranking to get new seats this last season was around 1,300. I just started donating last year, and I would have to donate roughly $200k if I wanted to get there now lol Maybe someday.

There are more efficient ways to get your points up and accumulate points. Read through the PP rules very closely. For example, if you have season tickets to other sports you will get points for each ticket, you'll also get extra points just for donating for consecutive years.

Pretty sure the cheapest Priority point is a by a donated dollar. Tickets, if I recall, are more expensive, when you look at the total cost.

1300 wow. Doesn't "feel" right from what I saw on the boards. I missed it by a few hours and am in 4000s.

That being said, it doesn't surprise me one bit. A few hundred seats available for a team/program that is having a ton of success.

Right, I've looked at those. I'll get there someday hopefully when the new stadium is built. I plan on getting football and basketball season tickets as well.

I think there's something like 3000-4000 total season tickets and they had a 98% renewal rate last year.

I think that is correct for the most part but I can tell you that my Soccer season tickets cost $75 each and as per the Priority Point rules...

Non-priority Season Ticket Holders

5 Points per season ticket
The season ticket holder, if an active donor, will be awarded 5 points per season ticket.

So, $75 cash donation gets you 3 PPs or it can get you a Soccer season ticket and 5 PPs.

BUT, please for the love of God, DON'T buy them just for the PPs! Go to the games instead of buying them with the intention of leaving the stands empty!

Nice arbitrage. I looked through it all a few years ago to see if I could figure out a more efficient way to get points. The math didn't work at the time.

The best thing is to use your company's charitable matching program, that is the most efficient path.

Sometimes I wonder why I play the priority points game. It really doesn't make sense on the surface. That said, I enjoy sitting in the same seats in football every week and getting to know the ages around me. The certainty of supply and the "pressure" to go the game knowing you already have tickets helps.

That being said, for me to get tickets we're either going to have to suck, stadium expansion (unlikely at scale IMO) or they are going to have to raise prices significantly to reduce demand.

Hopefully, only 1 of those happens.

i was 1449 and got 2 3bl bleacher seats. that was the best that was available for me that had 2 together. anywhere else was isolated single seats. i dont remember exactly, but maybe a dozen or so total left in the bleachers when i picked.
