I should jump in and say "I am pretty sure"  ..... since I am out of the loop, but that is how I read the material. John can let us know if I was wrong.

You were 100% correct

 

The tickets are able to be renewed at this time.

 

 

Hi John, when will new season tickets be available for purchase?  I thought I saw May 1st on the website, is that correct? 

 

Give me a call at (813) 974-7492 and I can discuss the options.

Hi John,

 

When can we buy Navy and Maryland tickets?

Road game information is typically sent out in late May / early June.

The tickets are able to be renewed at this time.

The Ice Bulls play out of Palmetto.

I believe they will be moving up to Wesley Chapel once those rinks are built.

Should be all set by March 9

Looks like they moved to the new place but no info on the new donor system yet that I could find ....

 

One good thing that I think happens with the new system (if that seating chart posted here was accurate), 100% of your Bulls Club donation not tied to the tickets will be tax exempt .... as opposed to the 80% of the total donation if you bought sports tickets in areas that required a donation.

It will still be 80% since the additional funds would be going to a giving level where you are receiving extra benefits.

The $181 seats were within Sections 122-125 last season

 

 

 

I think this cuts several ways.

 

Based on the deal we inked back in '97, my seats were in the $1K/GJ section, however, having been a ground-floor sort of guy, I was grandfathered in @ $100. I've gotten pretty fair mileage out of that thus far. As for 'priority points' and such, I never found myself wanting for tickets, so part of that may just be demand. I dunno. I do know, however, that even at the Bullseye level, I was pretty surprised at where I was on the points totem pole...just sayin'.

 

Now that USF is restructuring the donor~ticket relationship, and we have to make decisions about whether we move forward with this, there are some things to consider. To begin with, the cost of my four season tickets will escalate from an expense of approximately $850 per season to $1,600 per season...nearly doubling, due mostly to a six-fold increase in donor fees. So, if there is an expectation of continuing to purchase tickets in light of the past four years performance (I'm obviously not as altruistic as some) , CA makes the decision more palatable. For us - and there are more than a few in at the OG rate - CA is a selling point.  

 

 

Wooly, are you sure about that $850 figure? I'm in a lower than GJ level section and my season tix by themselves were $250/ea last year. Grandfathering didn't cover the actual ticket prices, did it? That should have put you at a minimum of $1100, compared to the $1600 this year.

 

 

Here's my math, for four season ticket seats in section 234....

 

Ah, that was it. Forgot under previous plan, the East side tix were cheaper ... Good luck with your Household Board of Directors. You can also try to sell a move to the shady West side if seats available.

 

Section 234 had a renewal price last season of $270 per seat. 4 seats there last season would have totaled $1,080 before factoring in the annual gift.

Anyone know when the renewal deadline will be? Mid-March or later?

It will all depend on when the renewals are sent out. If the renewals are sent by the end of the month, then you're looking at a deadline around mid April.

Also, if you're a hoops season tix holder, I think the same set up is going in place so there will be donation amounts built in there, too.

 

 

This is correct. MBB and WBB will be moving to the same type of ticket model for '15-'16.

I'm really confused on this new set-up. The amount is significantly less than my current annual donation. What am I missing?

Feel free to give me a call and I will explain.

 

Hmmm... Where's the faculty/staff section?

 

I'm thinking maybe the not yet announced alumni discounting may include faculty/staff .... just a guess, though.

 

There will be a faculty/staff discount along with the alumni discount. 

This will now give all faculty/staff members a much better opportunity to relocate/add to different seating opportunities.

Welcome back BullNupe!!

Triple B,

Yes, that is correct. We will be contacting renewing season ticket account members once the new pricing structure is finalized. Those who place the seat deposits will be contacted after that.

Bullnupe,

The benefit of putting down a seat deposit is that you will have the opportunity to select your seats before they become available to the public. We have traditionally had the deposits available before pricing is finalized.

What hotel are most of you staying at?

The Hampton Inn downtown doesn't appear to be too far from the stadium.

Just reserved my flight. Looking into hotels now.

Triple B,

The renewal deadline is the same for both the Men's and Women's season tickets (May 15).

We are able to sell new season tickets at this time.

USF_BULLS_R_WE, feel free to contact me when you have the chance. The New Graduate season tickets are within Section 240 and will be $102 per seat this season.

Ricky The Bull, at this time there is no alumni discount on season tickets

Bull Martin,

You are able to log into you account online and when you click on the "manage this event" tab it will give you the option to donate the tickets. You should be able to do this in the summer once the tickets show up within your account. Thank you for your support.

DELdaBull,

Season tickets are discounted for renewing account members and the discount is good up until February 5.

Good morning all.

I just wanted to point out that we were planning on sending the renewals at this time of the year. In fact, they were scheduled to be sent out in late November. 

This is going to be the time of the year when the renewals should be going out from this point forward. 

Go BULLS!!

The survey was sent to a random sample of account holders.

The survey is also a national survey and not one that was made by USF.

Had a great time,  Weather was beautiful,  the row I sit in was completely empty accept for the seats that I have , so a good friend of mine visiting from Louisville was able to walk up to the ticket window the day of the game ask for John L , tell him he wanted to sit next to us and was able to purchase the ticket, ( a luxury having few fans attend games, allows for you to buy the seat around you for friends and family),  the game was played early enough to allow us to get home to see the rest of the days games.   Got a chance to see if White is our QB of the future or not.( playing in his first game as a bull).  Was the last time to see us Play Ville( ending a good series, unfort Ville now holds the tie breaker 6 to 5).  It was a chance to see a Heisman trophy candidate.  A chance to see a bud of mine nephew play for Ville in person.    

 

 

All in all it was a great day.  

 

Go Bulls.

I'm glad I was able to assist. I felt bad that it took a few minutes to print his ticket, but he was a pleasure to talk to.

 

I know underarmour has rights, but it would be awesome if CWT surprised us and wore the dickies shirt on Saturday.

I have a cool pic to share, but am not smart enough to know how to paste or attach a jpg. 

 

Not sure if this is the picture you were referring to or not.
