Would anyone like to trade Rivers St passes for Liberry Deck?

I have Library Deck

I just sent my Rivers St. passes back in to get Liberry Deck so I know they have at least one extra set if you call Yosef club. Even though I have on my account I want Liberry, they always seem to put me in Raley or Rivers. They are pretty good with switching out if they have the capacity.

Do you currently have Raley? I would be interested in switching Raley for my Library parking pass.

I called and spoke with Allen. He said no. In past years I contributed at a higher level and bought 4 1/2 season tickets. This year with no 1/2 season tickets I bought 3 season tickets but contributed at a lower level. Because of that I can't get Rivers St. But Rivers St parking can be changed to Liberry. So competition for a space in Library will be greater. He said that is policy. I couldn't find it in any Yosef info. He said it is buried in the website. I told him that info may help in someone's decision if parking is important to them and should be better accessible. He said they haven't had to enforce the policy in years past but demand this year doesn't allow it.

Liberry is the "lowest" parking level, then Rivers St. That has been the case as long as I've volunteered with Yosef. Liberry requires a $250 donation to Yosef. All donors at the $250 level get a hunting license for festival parking. The two festival parking areas are Liberry and Rivers St. From there, it's a points issue in determing which donors get which lots. The way it's worked in recent years is $250 = Liberry while $500 = Rivers St. Depending on demand, those $250 donors with the most points may (I stress may) end up with a Rivers St pass, though Rivers St is now (IIRC) 100% $500 donors.

To date, there has not been a stated level for each lot. The laws of supply and demand dictate that. For example, about 70% of the stadium lot donates over $2500 per year. Therefore, if someone asks what donation level is required for stadium lot parking, the answer is $2500. As Yosef annual giving increases, that number will increase.

It is always possible to request to park "down" from whatever level one qualifies to use. One of the folks who works with me qualifies to park in Duncan but parks in Greenwood because there's less traffic and more space for his children.

I do know that Rivers St is over subscribed this year. That's going to make for some fun at some of the more popular home games. The athletic department will communicate plans for additional parking before those popular games, I'm sure.

Thanks for being Yosef!
