Tickets in the corners and ends of the balcony will remain a non-donor area. This year the tickets will be $199 each. Let us know if you have any additional questions.

Try if you want. Ticket office told us that not all Director Club members-$25k + will get new season tix. Crazy high demand.
best decision of my college career.No new donor sections were added. The bottom level is all 5k and the donor levels in the balcony all atleast doubled. Still don't need to be a donor to buy tickets in the corners.
I respect that Jamie Pollard has gone out of his way to keep the corner balcony a non-donor area with an idea that these are often families of four that otherwise might not be able to buy more expensive season tickets. However, it would a bit more sense to have those areas fall into a $100 donation requirement. Essentially if you have a family of four that is $224 per season ticket for 17 games after the donation is factored in. ($13.25 per ticket) It still irks me that the corner balcony individuals do not have to provide a Cyclone Club donation (I understand that some do but it is not required) and then pay $199 for a season ticket versus those individuals at mid-court in the balcony that pay $425 for a season ticket and effective this year are required to donate a minimum of $2,500.00. From a fairness standpoint that makes little sense.

I'm a little bitter too since I will likely miss on season tickets when I give $1000 per year and most people in the corners give nothing but I think I understand what JP is trying to do. If ISU wants to grow its fanbase, we have to cater to all groups and not just donors, even if that means sacrificing some a little bit of donation money.

Not sure on the last part. I have a letter or two letting me know that I need to increase my donation in order to buy corner tickets again.
It's not a big increase, and I'm not bothered by it, but they may effectively be donor seating by this point.

I understand that. My letter from the AD was very clear that an increased donation (of a paltry $25) will be required if I want to order tickets this year. I want the tickets, and I'll gladly pay that amount.
Nominally, it's a non-donor area. If you're there and donating, they'll squeeze a little.
Prove it. No way do you currently have corner balcony seats that don't require a donation and they're making you donate to keep you non-donor seats. If you choose not to donate $25 more they're not going to let you renew your tickets? In a non-donor section that doesn't require a donation?

It just makes no sense. Why would they kick someone who already gives out of a non-donor section over $25? Just to give your tickets away to someone that doesn't donate at all? I really just want proof that our athletics department would do that.
Because they're smart enough to understand how hyped our program has become. People will gladly pay a small extra amount to see a top 5 team.

It's the way to quietly get some more money. That's how anyone collecting money is going to operate. No big deal.
Are you sure you're not confusing that with the price increase for corner tickets? I'm a donor that sits in the corners and never received a letter like that. Of course that could also be because I donate more than your cheap ***:smile:
