This is good practice for the 2022 UNC ticket allocation thread.Saint3333 wrote: ↑Tue Oct 20, 2020 12:01 pmThat is how it works in normal times.

And that is what its there for. There are some that donate and do not care, and kudos to them. I totally get that. However, simple fact is it needs to be fair. If you are only giving the tickets to only the high end donors and have no intentions of spreading it out and making it more inclusive that is an interesting take. You are shutting off other donors who would like to attend a game. And may give more money as time goes by.Saint3333 wrote: ↑Tue Oct 20, 2020 10:45 amNot a popular take here, but I don't give to the Yosef Club for the parking space or the ticket access.
I give for the student athlete. I have no intention or expectation of attending a game this year, but that check to the Yosef Club was an easy choice.
My expectation was to be provided the option to roll tickets over to the next season, the university has met and exceeded that (with any more options).
It's one season, there is a vaccine and treatment options coming, there is no election next year.
Is it "fair" to those that gave for years before I was born to give me their tickets (as defined by the priority points system we all signed up for) for the second game of this pandemic season?
This concept of "fair" is problematic in many levels.
I may be overreaching on this specific example, but all too often "Fair" has turned into what benefits me and my set of circumstances I'm currently facing.

Re: Ticket Allocation: App vs Ark St
Has anything been said about parking yet?
That's what I do. I gripe and I know things.

Re: Ticket Allocation: App vs Ark St
From AppStateSports.com:
BOONE, N.C. — Beginning with Thursday's home football game against Arkansas State (7:30 p.m., ESPN), App State is pleased to welcome a limited number of spectators to Kidd Brewer Stadium, while prioritizing the health and safety of our fans, student-athletes and staff.
With the implementation of Governor Roy Cooper's Executive Order 169, Phase 3 of North Carolina's eased coronavirus restrictions allows for outdoor venues with 10,000 or more seats to operate at seven percent of seating capacity. This will allow for the welcoming of 2,100 fans to Kidd Brewer Stadium.
Priority for this limited number of spectators will be given to football student-athlete families, App State students and football season ticket holders. All 2,100 fans will be assigned a seat for the upcoming game, as the physical distance between seats will not allow for general admission seating. No tailgating will be permitted on the App State campus.
Tickets will be distributed according to the following breakdown:
App State football and visiting team families – 450
App State students (via ticket lottery) – 800
App State season ticket holders (allocated by Yosef Club rank) – 650
Other ticket allotments – 200
TOTAL – 2,100
Gates and Arrivals
Gates for Thursday's game will open at 6 p.m. Guests will be advised of their gate and arrival time, staggered to provide the least amount of congregating as possible while entering Kidd Brewer Stadium. Markers will be placed six feet apart outside stadium entrances to ensure six feet of physical distancing while guests are in line to enter. Guests will not be allowed to re-enter the stadium if they leave prior to the conclusion of the game.
Safety Precautions and Requirements
All guests must follow the 3Ws — wear face coverings, wait to ensure six feet of physical distance and wash hands often or use hand sanitizer. Violation of physical distancing and/or face covering policies may warrant removal from the stadium.
University faculty, staff and students in attendance must complete the university's COVID-19 Daily Health Check prior to entrance.
Pocket-size hand sanitizer bottles will be given away at the East and West gates, while additional hand sanitizer stations will be positioned in the Ricks Athletics Center and throughout the stadium concourses.
Restrooms will operate at a reduced capacity to maintain distance between guests. Water fountains will not be operational. Cleaning services will sanitize high-touch locations throughout the game. In addition to face coverings, some event staff will wear face shields and gloves.
App State's clear bag policy will be in effect for all guests.
Student Ticket Lottery
App State students are vitally important to the game day atmosphere and the success of Mountaineer Football. App State Athletics, in collaboration with the Student Government Association, is implementing a student ticket lottery system on a game-by-game basis. Students are being sent an email from App State Athletics and must verify their student account to be eligible to enter the lottery. An email containing the admission ticket (for a specific seat) will be sent on Tuesday after 4 p.m. to those students who are randomly selected.
Student guest tickets will not be available during the 2020 season, and tickets awarded through the lottery are non-transferrable. Students awarded tickets will be assigned specific seats within student sections, and seating requests cannot be taken. Face coverings and six feet of physical distancing will be required at all times in Kidd Brewer Stadium.
Season Ticket Holders
The 650 seats for season ticket holders who have opted in for 2020 will be allocated based on Yosef Club rank. Additional details regarding ticket allocation and pick-up will be sent directly to season ticket holders in the coming days. Those who do not gain entry will also receive an email.
If you have additional questions about the allocation process, please email athletictickets@appstate.edu.
Parking
Parking lots for season ticket holders and suite guests who receive a ticket to the game will include several lots adjacent to Kidd Brewer Stadium. ADA parking will be available at the Hill Street lot. Lots will be open for those with Yosef Club parking permits by 5:30 p.m.
No tailgating will be permitted on the App State campus on game day. There will also be no Yosef Club pregame hospitality event or Mountaineer Walk.
Additional details regarding parking pass allocation and pick-up will be sent directly to season ticket holders in the coming days.
Concessions and Merchandise
Concessions will be available at two locations – one in the West Concourse and one in the East Concourse, and will be operated by App State Dining Services. One location in the South end zone concourse will serve alcohol to patrons 21 years or older, operated by Taft and Harding Entertainment.
The App State Bookstore will be selling merchandise from a location on the West Concourse ramp. An auxiliary location will be outside the West gate selling clear bags and face coverings.
All transactions will be credit/debit only, no cash. Concessions and merchandising personnel will be following appropriate COVID-19 safety protocols. During the 2020 season, a limited menu will be available at each concessions location, including hot dogs, popcorn, candy, nachos & cheese and bottled Pepsi products. Attendants will be stationed throughout each concourse to ensure concessions lines remain socially distanced throughout the game.
Team Safety Precautions
App State athletics teams follow NCAA and Sun Belt Conference COVID-19 safety standards, while current team testing protocols exceed the minimum NCAA and league standards. App State Football tests student-athletes and staff at least two times per week, and strength & conditioning workouts are conducted in small groups.

This is not true. At least I’ve never met such a person. And if there are such people, i have a suggestion for them: there’s still time.

Re: Ticket Allocation: App vs Ark St
Screw Yosef Club points and standing, tickets should be allocated on lung capacity and decibel range of one's voice based on the level of sound incident on a boom mic in the TV booth.
This is my very generic signature added to each post.

Re: Ticket Allocation: App vs Ark St
Tomorrow night, it won't matter how much DJ music is played vs. band music. It won't matter if Ice is available at the concession stands. No one will get yelled at for standing up the entire game. It won't even matter where those who get to attend have to sit. (It might not even matter that someone started the APP/STATE chant while we were on offense.)
All that will matter is that they are fortunate enough to attend a game this season at The Rock........and, the track will not be in view.
I hope all that get to go have a great time. (and that no one leaves early, even on a Thursday night)

Why is ADA parking still at Hill Street?
That's what I do. I gripe and I know things.
