I guess they want to encourage fans that buy 4 season tickets to more easily add a 5th or 6th ticket to their yearly purchase.

They want fans to buy ST period. It was ridiculous that you needed to pay the same money to buy one seat as four. This is the way it always should have been.

Personally I think they need to focus on ticket sales generally before they look at season tickets. Season tickets will sell themselves when youΓÇÖve created a market for them.

No; in preparation of raising the donation amount required per seat in a couple of years.

There are plenty o folks like myself who have had season tickets since Ford opens and will pay whatever it takes to keep sitting next to the people I have come to know over that time. So there is money to be had. That said, it won't happen until the stadium sells out on a regular basis.

We might get a significant uptick in season tickets next year if we can land a preseason top 25 ranking with SB coming back.

This is a great, common sense change. Glad to see it.

I'm fairly certain nobody with any power has said a word about reseating Ford. lol
