Mark Harlan lives in my neighboorhood, and i’ll tell him this personally when I see him, but I wil never again purchase away game tickets or bowl tickets through the University. If I’m makeing the effort and spending the money to go to the game, i am going to chose seats that I’ll be happy with.
My family travels to games every year – this year, the Stanford game. I bought tickets through my Crimson Clud rep, and was told, as always, the priorty for location would be given to members of the crimson club and would be based upon giving level. I’ve heard this for years, and always been very disappointed with what I eventually received. I have, however, always bought tickets through the U so they would get the credit/funds.
For the Stanford game, i specifically asked if they could find some aisle seats, as I had a broken ankle, was walking on crutches, and wearing boot. He said he would “do the best he could”.
At the game, we tailegated with three other familes who all have season tickets, and I know from the location of thier tickets they give at a level below mine. They all had fine seats. I was in the second to the last row of the worst Utah section, in exacty the middle of the row. most of those around us, bought tickets through the U, but were not CC members.
I will never again pay for any away ticket through the U. I’m going to know in advance where I’m sitting and not leave that selection up to some individual or committee, who’s criteria is not transparent.
