Season Ticket Improvement? - The Orange Mane

KUBronco · 12-05-2005, 04:31 PM

Anybody have any experience with trying to improve their newer season tickets? I got season tickets for the first time this year (section 539, row 22, priority number in the 24,000s) and am curious about how hopeless it is to move down a little, or even (gasp) a section or two toward the middle. Can I hope to move more than a few rows next year?

It is hard to make it to all the games from Kansas as it is.

Went to the game in KC yesterday. The 4th down play was right in front of me. No way MA made it, unfortunately.

Just hold your breath for a while (a decade or two). I have three pair of tickets in that section. I had one pair for over ten years (priority in the 13000 range), the other for abour six and the last one for two years. I request upgrades each season, but with six seats together it's tough to move.

Even my lower level set which has a priority number in the low 6000's doesn't get replies for upgrades because (I think) scalpers own the other 5999 sets!

Just be happy that you have a set. You need to realize there are 15-17thousand people on the waiting list!

This is either Year 9 or 10 for my parents. We've been in the corners or the edge the entire time despite requests to upgrade down or closer to the 50 every year.

TailgateNut · 12-06-2005, 07:20 AM

The only improvement I've been able to make is to combine all six of my upper level in one section. Originally they were in sections 522, 539 and 540. I had to b****, moan and remind them how long our family has owned tix to get an acceptable response, but my seats in 539 had to sacrifice 13 rows to combine them with the others!

I've had my season tickets for 5 years now and this past offseason was my 1st chance to move with priority #1550. But last year was the 1st time for a lot of folks because a lot of fans gave up their tickets last year.

How in the world did you get a priority # that low if you've only had your tickets for five years? The set I've had for over a decade has a priority # of over 13000! Doesn't compute!

1999 was the last year season ticket holders could sell their tickets with the priority numbers intact...a friend of the family had them for 30 years and wanted $1000 for the rights to purchase them.

Thanks for the anecdotes. A long wait is on the horizon . . . .

how many tickets do you have? I asked to split my four and I could have moved to almost any area of my choosing.

KUBronco · 12-06-2005, 08:36 AM

Only two. Hopefully this will help?

doh...I edited my post...two tickets should be much easier to move.

CUBuffman08 · 12-06-2005, 10:23 AM

My pair of priority (of about) 1350 was unable to be moved when the new stadium was built... haven't checked into it since.

I've checked every year since the move and last year was only time I got a call back....same goes for a good friend of mine (priority number of around 13,000) and he moved his two seats last year.

Dukes · 12-06-2005, 10:59 AM

I've been thinking about doing this myself. I'm 21, a senior in college. I should get on the list now for when I get out of school, have a job, etc.

Thats my logic

KUBronco · 12-06-2005, 11:49 AM

It took me about 7 years on the waiting list and (as I said above) this is my first year. Recommend to anyone in their early to mid 20s to get their name on the list now. There is nothing to lose because you can say no when the Broncos finally offer the tickets.

Caveat: if you move to Kansas, the travel can get expensive

i4jelway7 · 12-06-2005, 12:59 PM

how long have the season ticket holders in the lower level 50yd line behind the broncos bench had thier tickets...

It wouldn't suprise me. I know a doctor who sits in the lower level, he's had those seats for about 30 years

Dukes · 12-06-2005, 01:39 PM

Who would I have to talk to in order to get my name on the list? Is there a number you have to call, or can you go to the statium?

Meck77 · 12-06-2005, 01:43 PM

You can call in. Ask for Bobbie or Cassey. Nice gals.

A friend of mine was offered an upgrade this year. He had a couple seats in 502 I think it was. He only owned them a few years and managed to upgrade them to south stand seats.

I'm in the market for lower level (south stand season tix for next year). It would be real cool if we get an omane section going.
