I pegged you as a Legacy V kind of guy. |

In my mind since they have gotten around $12,000 of my money I consider myself Legacy I, officially I feel like my brother pulled one on me. :) |

There must be a hell of a demand for tickets and big contributors if a $10,000 donation gets you 6 seats on the 35-40 3 quarters of the way up the upper deck and not all together. Those squatters and friends of BYU are costing the program a lot of money. |

Legacy 2 gets you good seats, though. |

4 are on the 50 first row upper deck. Actually great seats. 2 with two old geezers then our other 2. The last two are on about the 40 4th row from the top on the lower section. If we tried to get all 4 together , they would suck. We were promised when we gave them the dough great seats on East Side. When they put the seats in, they then decided it would be cool to charge an extra $1,000 for the right to the seats, (don't have to be legacy to do that), and $1,000 for the seats. We did that one year and found we had corporate folks who didn't give a crap about the game all around us. We then moved to the West side. I am still a little miffed they told us we would get the seats and then added about a $1500 surcharge. BYU loves surcharges. |
BYU71, there are thousands and thousands of fans at A&M kicking in over 1k donation per seat. And with crappy seats.

This doesn't go over well, but I consider both BYU and who they play the product. I will pay up for a good product. Plus, quite honestly I would probably give them up to another $20,000 to keep priority seating. |
I used to sell football tickets when I was a student at BYU. I think you would be absolutely disgusted if you saw how many of the best seats in the stadium are being hogged by stadium donors...only the donor is long since deceased, and the family is keeping the seat in the name of the deceased and it's the grandchildren buying the seats (the tickets were for the life of a donor and the life of one of their children).
I volunteered to actually do the research out of the public records and find out which of those seats were being purchased by people who had no legitimate claim on them...free of charge. Val Hale told me he didn't want me doing any such thing, because he didn't want to anger anyone who is purchasing season tickets. The other thing I asked Val Hale is why they didn't just jack up the prices of those seats so that the people that weren't legit donors couldn't afford them anymore, and the university could reclaim the seats. He also said that it was because they didn't want to upset the actual donors who still use their seats, because they are people that stepped up to the plate and made a hefty donation at a time that BYU fb really needed that money. |
