If you buy through USF - you sit w/USF. On the other hand, if you go TicketMaster/StubHub you can get tickets wherever you want...and in some instances they are 'better' than what you get through the university. They have this whole 'priority points' program that - depending on where you are on the fiscal totem pole - determines the number of and quality of seats available (generally comes in play for high-interest or bowl games). If you are just joining the Bulls Club getting seats for this game through USF could be tough. Being a Thanksgiving weekend game could help you out and make it possible. You'll put in a request and they'll let you know if you get them. You have to give credit card info when you put in your request and they charge it if you get them. They don't come back and ask a 2nd time. The priority points formula is pretty simple: Donate a reasonable sum of money and you'll probably get seats in the USF block Donate a lot more money and you'll get better seats in the USF block Donate a sh_tload of money and Judy will fly you to the game on a private jet and you can sit on Doug's lap in the AD's suite.

I believe that there are over 25K people with some number of priority points. It all depends on how many of those ahead of you want to go to that UCF game. I don't think we'll be going. Just keep waiting for that tinker toy stadium to collapse. As for "better" seats, that is a mixed blessing. Last 2 times going to L'ville we were in the 1st two rows. Whomever assigns them assumes closer to the field is better. There was usually room in our section to move up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Row 94 in Tally, the last row in Gainesville, , always bad seats at Bowl games,- I think they seat donors alphabetically and we are near the end Oh well, at least we get tickets.

After, I'll have to rely on priority points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is only because visitors get stuck in the worst seats. How far up you are in the crappy section is priority points.

That being said, I have been to every BE team's stadium in the north and have never had trouble getting tickets through USF. I know this is due to the fact that not many Floridians are going to make the trip up but lets face it we are not Michigan or Florida in terms of fan base.
