Parking is included at donor levels. I was told by our AD that Kansas State maxes out at 4 tickets per donation vs 8 tickets for us which is a HUGE difference.

according to this they can buy at least 12, and you can get up to 3 parking passes.

And the price for those just says you need to be a $500 donor to receive, not pay for so not sure what they have to pay there.

I dont know about the Directors level, but I for sure know parking is not free to donors. I have purchased them at Gold level many times.

12 for football but we don’t know at what level/where you can get seats + parking and we don’t know on MBB which I was told is 4.

How much is your parking for the season and where is it?
How much is yours. Why dont you show some data? Im tired of arguing and proving you wrong with every data point.

You literally have not shown a thing, I just continue to give you data, you just give opinions on "what you heard"

Sorry, I have no reason to believe you can get 8 premium seats for Kansas State MBB at the highest donor level like you can at ISU and have found nothing that shows you can. Nothing personal man.

You literally have to be at the $15K donation level to be offered more than 4 tickets to mens Basketball.
But we have been Debating football, not basketball, I have not compared BB tickets etc. So dont move the goalpost.

Your last post about what you heard was wrong, so how about post something with actual proof.

Hang on folks... this is only the very beginning of the increases fans will be seeing in the future. Not just tickets, but parking, concessions, securing your seat preference and parking preference... not to mention how much NIL money it's going to take to remain even somewhat relevant.

Hope you all are loaded and can afford it!!

Yep.

Will be interesting to see how all Big 12 schools manage the $20 million....I've seen many already say they are "fully" committed ..im sure other schools also will need to adjust to make it happen.

It's been said, but we are fortunate to have good coaches and locked them in. Now would not be the time to have to come up with a buyout or try to hire a coach at market rate.

Well I can tell you for bowls and ccg and the b12 tourney our top donors only get the option for 8 tickets. They get the option for up to 12. I have nothing that says anywhere that any donor levels are restricted to less than 12 tickets to anything at KSU. I do have proof that the max we get at ISU is 8, and that is only at the top director level donors.

My point is does this mean that we will be funding the full $20 million?
Other things will have to give, but full funding support is a critical point in sustaining athletics now. There really is no way around it. It sucks that some parts of the country will be able to do this easily based on their TV deals alone, but like we're always saying we're aren't cyclones because it's easy. It's because it awesome.

I didn’t know we were only debating football. That’s silly to compare donations at different schools but only look at the benefits you get for one sport. But yes, I’ve been clear this whole time that 8 lowers for MBB at the Directors level is a huge benefit you can get in Ames and not other places.

You can get 12 tickets for bowl games at the Directors level at Iowa State.

Until they reseat Hilton, isn’t the actual perk that Directors can buy 8 tickets? I thought you couldn’t kick existing seat holders out of those seats until they don’t meet the donation requirements.

And for all the ******** about losing people over the 7% increase, you are also going to lose people that don't want to be surrounded by a ton of drunk people.
I hate to break it to you... you already are. Of those people who tailgate, a large percentage of them are already popping the top off a brew for six hours before kickoff.
