Seat equity plan?
Jan 2, 2016, 11:59 PM
|
|
I recently just graduated from Clemson 2 weeks ago and have a question about how the seat equity plan works.
So how does it work, haha?

Did they teach you to Google in school? Sorry man, but you're a young buck...not a computer illiterate person like my dad that I have sympathy for.

Google is so easy and fast to find out virtually anything. It's usually 10x faster than creating a topic and awaiting a response.
There's no such thing as a dumb question. A lazy question, on the other hand...

It wasn't a lazy question. I didn't understand how the plan worked.
Relax.

Fever basically said what the website says. Was his post somehow easier to read?

I don't think it had all the Orange paws and authentic looking Iptay logos that frankly most find distracting

You're absolutely right. I apologize. It's just that there have been so many questions lately that have been sooooo easy for the asker to find themselves in less than 10 seconds.
It often seems like if someone knows how to use a computer, they should just use Google or Yahoo for simple questions. It's the ofttimes confusing details of those "simple" questions that sometimes require the one-on-one advice that that you were seeking. You came to the right place.
Good luck out there!

Not sure if you studied economics or not but the more you give the more equity you have.

Are you guaranteed lower deck seats if you donate a certain amount?

Was trying to say, first off join IPTAY YA! immediately... 90% off donations year 1 (so the benefits of a $1400 yearly donation only cost you $140 year 1, $350 year 2, $700 year 3, etc.).

Yep, I know about this.
I'm honestly just trying to see if its possible for a 1st year donor to get lower deck tickets.

Of course anything is possible, write the school a 100k check and you will love the view from those seats.

Then that should have been your question. The more you pay, the better your seats. Contact IPTAY or go to the office to get a better idea of how much it would take.
Also young man, uppers in the first 15 rows are nothing to turn your nose up at.
Hope this helps.

Also, not sure if $1400 even guarantees you lower level tickets anymore. When I joined back in 2008 it did (Section Q, Row X) but that was back before the Tigers are what we know them to be now.

Basically this....

In order to buy a season ticket, you need to be an IPTAY member. You can join IPTAY at many different levels. Seats in DV are divided into sections each having a different seat equity value, which is basically the "minimum" amount you have to give to IPTAY in order to be allowed to buy seats in that section (even if you've had them for years). The amount is per seat, so in order to buy two tickets in a $500 section, you have to be giving at least $1000 that year. This amount does not include the actual price of the ticket (~$330), just the privilege to buy it. The number of tickets that you can purchase also depends on the level of your giving that year.
But the real kicker is "priority". There are many people who have been giving for years. They have earned points which places them ahead of you when it comes time to assign seats. You get one point per year, plus 4 points for each $1000 you've given over your lifetime. There is also temporary bonus points for your current level. So, when tickets orders are fulfilled, they start with the highest level and work down. Within each level, they go by priority points. You can give $10K one year and jump ahead of a lot of people, but keep this in mind... Once you have good seats, nobody can take those away from you as long as you give at the minimum seat equity level.
There are very few tickets in the lower bowl that are not renewed each year. You can't get the ones that are renewed no matter how much you give, if those owners meet the minimum. So, don't give $1400 and expect to get two tickets in the $700 section - you will get upper deck.
Hope this helps.

Hey, if you like the easy route...you could just create a donation page to fund your donation to IPTAY. Seems all the kids are taking the easy route today.

Good. Don't mean to be so hard on you. But you are in Clemson, closer to the IPTAY office than 95% of us.
Guess we're flattered you think so much of our opinion...but we're also a bunch of hard ##### here. You know this.
Congrats on your career and your step into being a donor. Hope you find the seats you want. But be patient. Those folks you see on the 50 yard line under the overhang in the shade...they didn't get there overnight.

I find it hard to believe, with as good of an education as you leave with at Clemson they don't have these students set up with Iptay before they go. Someone is dropping the ball.

Maybe this guy didn't have time for football while he was up there studying and just now got into the whole process. Imagine being up there in school and not even attending a game. Crazy isn't it

Wait...there were classes when I was in Clemson? Like actual classrooms?
Where? Are the in Tigertown Tavern or TD's...cause I swear I've hit on women in every corner of those places and didn't see a desk or chalkboard anywhere.
