about the success of the Tech Fund. With all of the ramblings, I decided to pony up the big donation to get 50 YL Lower West seats this season. I figured it was my only chance to move to the seats of my youth. I recieved my call this morning and not only were there no 106s available but there were none in 105 nor 107 and only a very few very low rows in 104 or 108...not even four together.
So, I moved over to 127, row 21, and bought the whole row fore the money we had left. It costs me $200 per seat which seems high to me but we sit within 2 feet of the Club section for about half the price. We've sat in the Club seats and the lounge is so crowded it adds no real value IMO.
I questioned the young man taking my order about no availability in the lower West and he said they have had about a 90% retention rate thus far. While there will still be lots of good tix available that no one is willing to pay the option on, my guess is the Lower West being filled at that per seat donation is going to mean a lot more money in the AA's coffers. So, Dan Rad might come out smelling like a genius. And hopefully the Lower West will be filled by some rabid fans for the first time in awhile.
127 wasn't what I had hoped for but it's not bad either. It should work well for the fam if we keep having/adopting kids as we have the entire row. I don't have a plan for the sun yet so thanks for any suggestions.
It looks as though 122, and especially 128 and 129 will go unsold in large part. I'm hopeful they will let me buy some 3 game packs in those sections to sell to Stingtalkers and other GT fans who were unwilling or unable to pay the licesnse fee. The gentlman I spoke with said they would try to keep my 3 game packs close to my season tix but I have my doubts based on the process last year.
