When I renewed my FB season tix a month or so ago I didnt make the "donation" payment, only the ticket payment. I did this becuse I have 2 tickets but they are not side by side instead they are "piggy back" and I was hoping this would be my year to finally get 2 seats beside each other. This will be my dad and I's 6th season as season ticket holders. We intended on adding at least 2 more seats this year for my mom and wife, but like many others, the increase in price made that decision an easy one. I didnt make the "donation" payment because I wasnt sure which zone I'd end up in after a potenial seat adjustment. Anyway, I just got a call from the ticket office and they told me I had 2 options as far as the "donation" payment goes. Either pay the $150 a seat "donation" before this Friday to at least lock in the seats we currently have or not pay the donation and lose our current seats. I asked the girl that called what the policy would be if we managed to get 2 seats together in a lower donation zone if we payed the fee for our current seats and she said there would be no refund for the overpayment. She tried selling me on the fact that I would benefit because I would be locked in to the lower donation zone for next year. Needless to say, I was baffled. After all that has been said on this site, in the media, etc about this whole price increase the last thing I expected was to be potentially taken advantage of AGAIN. I also asked how renewals were going and she told me they just ran the numbers the other day and that they are close to being on track with last year. Has anyone else gotten this call? What did you say? Am I out of line for being a little upset about this? Why does it feel like the athletics department doesnt get it AT ALL?
