UNCC Mayo Kickoff game now Friday

[AppSt94]

What if you give a lot of money but are in “Bad Standing” ?

I believe we should still let Eric Church buy a ticket.

I would let Eric Church have free tickets for life (home and away) if he so desired if his Chief Cares foundation actually does what it has said it would do for folks impacted by Hurricane Helene.

First I’ve heard of this. Can you explain please?

Concert for Carolinas after Helene. Church and Combs helped organize. Those two and a host of others played the concert. We attended. Carolina Panthers owner donated the stadium and paid for employees from own pocket versus taking away from proceeds. I cannot remember exact totals...but over $20 million raised at the time and maybe more after. Website link. I had heard they recently purchased land to begin builds.

I was at the concert as well. I knew of plans on how to utilize the donations. I was looking for an explanation as to what had not happened to fulfill his commitment to the folks in WNC.

They announced the other day "land has been acquired" I do not know if it is a final sale and or under contract, but they have big goals to break ground in March and try and have folks in homes by Summer? I haven't seen where the land is, just Avery County, but sounds like they are ready to roll, haven't seen plans or sizes of homes either, but the effort is there and it wasn't just a bunch of smoke (pun intend if you listen to his music).

I dont think he was insinuating that it wasn't going to happen.

[T-Dog]

Charlotte is allowing it's fans to choose their exact seats while App State is just selling tickets by price range.

[spacemonkey]

AppState tends to "take us for granted". Just give us your money and trust us. I want good seats. I may wait for the secondary sale.

If someone knows a different way to order and I pick my seat and App can still get credit for my money let me know.

[RankinApp]

Yup, I noped right on out when I saw there was no option to select seats and the additional disclaimer that the ticket office could make contact with seat relocations based on demand and giving level.

Clown level stuff.

Props to Charlotte for doing it right.

"Shut up and send us your money," is a vibe I get far too often from our athletic department. One would have to make an effort to be as tone deaf as they seem to be on a regular basis. I have long since stopped hoping for better communication.

I called the Yosef Club about this last week, spoke to a very nice person, who was unaware that the tickets were being sold in this manner.

So, I think I will wait and order at a later date, which is a shame because App doesn’t get the money. However, it would suck to order a $90 seat and then get kicked out to a $50 seat.

Just let us pick our seat, is that asking too much?

I guess so.

[appstate24]

Same here. I went in to buy, only to close it out. I’m paying good money, let me pick my dang seats.

GO APPS!!

[BallantyneApp]

Yes the AD needs to read the room. If we were coming off a 10 win season and this was a marquee opponent, go ahead and maximize revenue.

We had a lackluster ‘24, fired our coach and it’s UNCC.

[BambooRdApp]

I wonder if this has to do with who is the "home" team. For past visiting games bought through App, I was not assigned a seat. I found out later.

[spacemonkey]

People buying early....you know......Your fan base. Should get 50 yard line seats.

[Mjohn1988]

I bought as soon as I was allowed and to the best of my recollection was told I was in the 50 to 30 yard line area but just not assigned seats yet. If I get seats that aren’t in that area I’m going to be very unhappy. I agree with some others who feel like long time fans who just can’t keep raising the donation level are taken for granted. What I have really heard is that there’s a line to take my place. I try to keep myself calm by telling myself two things, it’s a charitable contribution and that if I stop enjoying it I need to stop giving and going.

[AppSt94]

Looks like only $50 seats are left. Must have sold out the seats from the 50 to the end zone.

They opened part of the Upper when we played ECU. This is a game where I'm not sweating tickets. It won't get to the point of filling to the Upper End Zones, so worst case, I'll end up with an upper between the 20's.

Also, Ticketmaster reduced the ACC Championship tickets to $25 including fees before tip off. Maybe they are starting to realize that it's better to have butts in the seat vs. not selling seats at full price.

I don’t think tickets will be a problem either. They sold tickets to YC/ST holders a few weeks ago with price points of $115 and $90.

I don’t understand how they can relocate based on giving level. That makes zero sense if higher levels get earlier access to purchase. If they miss their window of opportunity, they shouldn’t get preferential treatment that force others, who’ve already purchased tickets, to move seats because they were tardy to the party.
