Does everyone have their tickets in their app at this point? I don't have anything, but maybe they're just saving us plebes in the general admission seats for last.

I've received a conformation email, and can see entries in 'upcoming events' on my tablet through the app, but no actual pdf files yet.

I got the invite to the season ticket holder event, so I assume they just didn't want to waste time informing the general admission people of anything when they had so much on their plate with the reserved seat shuffle.

Never got an email about my GA tickets this week, but the app shows that I have tickets and when you click on the specific matches it says "Check back 48 hours before the event to download your ticket. There's no mobile pass available for this ticket. Please check your confirmation email for more info."

Well, I guess the good thing is that the ticket situation will never again be as messed up as this year... that is, unless they put in even more seatbacks!

I haven't received anything, but they said we'd get the same seats (Silver - Section S) and the website says delivered the week of 8/22. So I decided not to panic.

I would assume that they would do exactly that in the coming years. My guess is to eventually have seat backs everywhere in the Field House in a couple of years. No insight, just a guess.

How much do they value battling it out with Nebraska for being the attendance leader? I guess the revenue is the bottom line, but if they do that and price out the fans that have been coming for years if not decades? There might start to be a loss of some fans along the way. I would expect to see this happen in the silver section in the next decade, but I doubt it goes any further than that.

I would expect to see this happen in the silver section in the next decade, but I doubt it goes any further than that. The sections and seats they did it in this year was the "retractable" seating; look at the photo Punzel posted the other day of them doing drills on two courts, side by side. That meant it was relatively easy, and cheap, to do. Every other section would, I guess, be harder and more expensive to replace the benches. Not to mention the LARGE loss in overall seating capacity. I doubt they go to "comfy chairs" anywhere else. Might they impose "donations" in other sections? Maybe. But that would trigger the same musical chairs mess a second time and that might depend on how well or poorly they perceive this as having gone. So my guess is they leave things alone going forward.

I'm really not too worried about it. Yes, yes, I was able to afford to apply for and receive Gold seats, but the way I see it is that my paying more for my "premium experience" subsidizes keeping it relatively inexpensive for families and casual fans to attend.
Sheffield wants the building to be full and loud. But he also expressed a lot of concern about the lack of seating *options* and - this is a big one - the lack of quality ADA seating. This addresses both. And Bucky's Balcony allows VB to cash in on the real high rollers.

You would have to competely gut and rebuild the upper deck from scratch to have seatbacks even be a logistical possibility given the physical structure of the tiers, so I expect the upper deck to remain a general admission wild west for quite some time.
