Nope. I'm on the 30th at 3

I have yet to receive an email with my appointment time. My points are correct on the ODAF site and I come in at 2149/3058. I'm going to guess 6:00 on 5/24.

My guess would be you are going to be closer to the 30th.

My guess would be earlier than the 30th. I'm 2579 out of 3058 and my selection time is May 31st at 2:27 PM. I'm assuming that someone that's over 400 spots higher than mine would be selecting at least a few days before I would.

I did some guestimath and it looks like roughly 200 people per day.

Every 3 minutes for 20 per hour and 10 hours a day. Pretty good guestimath!

Yeah, I called it guestimath because I wasn't 100% sure it was for 10 hours a day. =] I saw some 7am picks and some 6:summin pm picks but that's 12 hours.. but using 10 hours made my ranking make sense. =]

Also figured there are roughly 5500 seats available on the home side and 4x 1000 people ahead of me (200 per day for 5 days) there stands a good chance I land home side seats. Crossing fingers.

OK, maybe I missed this.

Today my hard copy ODAF letter arrived in the mail.

All of us have seemingly been worried about our overall ranking, but this tells me that the only factor in seat selection is the 2013 gift.

Quote:Your appointment time is based on your total 2013 pledge. Please keep in mind that your on-line ODAF ranking only factors your current cash gift but your seat selection appointment time and ranking is based on your entire 2013 ODAF pledge.

What????
I guess all that tripe about loyalty is just that; tripe.

As critical as I have been of them to date I now have to come to their defense. All they are saying is that if you pledged $500 and have to date given them $300, your points and position are based on the full amount of your 2013 pledge along with the other categories i.e. lifetime contributions, consecutive years of giving etc..

Maybe they could take a freshman writing course so as to be clearer.

You see how I got some criticism in there after all.

OK, hehe.

Does anyone think this is our last reseating in the current Foreman Field. I hopee so.

I'm picking the 17th after lunch. But a friend who started going to games last year, just join ODAF at the 2K level and has jumped right pass me. They weigh the current year's gift very strongly. The ring campaign was also a good way to help your standing.

What is the 4x 1000? Are you saying that 1000 people ahead of you will get an average of 4 seats? If that is the case, I will say that it is more likely that the average for the first 1000 is more like 8 seats.

Yeah, was just assuming an avg of 4. And you're probably right.

I hope he realizes that if he does not maintain his giving level next year, he stands to lose some seats.

Oh he's all in, we'll be seeing him for a while. He wanted good seats on the pads.

They did away with pads. Unless you mean depends!

Pads sound better than the plastic bottom parts, that still get your butt wet.

Welp... got an email, premium seats are gone.

You are receiving this email because when you placed your order for season tickets you requested seats in the premium sideline seating area. Unfortunately, at this time we have sold out of the premium sideline seats. Premium sideline seats were allocated utilizing ODAF priority points and limited to the number each donor is eligible to purchase based on ODAF giving levels.

When your appointment time comes you will still be able to select your priority seats for next year from the remaining seats in the seating bowl. Since the premium sideline seats were priced at $200 per seat and the priority tickets are $163 per seat you will be issued a refund by the ticket office at the conclusion of the reseating process in early June.

Yep, I got that email also. It came just about 5 minutes before my selection appointment time.

Power outage in CA has the webserver down that hosts the seat selection.

http://seatselection.seats3d.com/ncaa/ol...selection/ = down until further notice and all times might get pushed out as a result. If your times are affected they will be getting in touch.
