Re: UCATs Fee

MessageI don't know the answer, but that has never stopped me before!

I would guess that the "regular" would be far over (one of the two sections closest to the ends) about half way up, and the top 5 would be same sections in the top 5.  Giving much more than the $100 might get you somewhat better seats, but not much better.  Maybe half way up a little closer to the middle.  

Speaking of which things are likely to change greatly in 5 or so years when and if a new arena is ready.  I'd imagine they will still have the cheaper seats, but for many of us the new price structure might be quite interesting!  I heard that there are folks who sit in the upper regions and donate a 5-figure amount.  The folks down low are not giving up their seats.  I am sure the "giving" at the new arena will be a lot more.  For example there are many silver bearcats who sit in the chair backs down low (the red-sweater section).  They won't be there at the new place.

With that said, I will be curious to see if those who have said they'd come to a game if the arena was better, will come.

Tom, I am with you to an extent abut the schedule, but more so about joining the Big East.  Had we been left behind in CUSA, I was going to give up my season tickets because >$2k/year would have been too much.  It's probably too much now, but I cannot imagine not being their live to see UConn, Syracuse, Pitt, UL, etc. etc.  Especially after all these years of going!

  This brings up a question of mine.  I will be earning my undergraduate degree this June (getting my BBA in Information Systems, but anyway), and will thus lose rights to the student tickets that I have used for the past five years.  

  What I am wondering is, what are the costs of season tickets?  On UCBearcats.com, it says that season tickets for UC Basketball are as follows:

  -- Regular - $405 plus a $100 donation to UCATS (donation of $100 allows the purchase of up to 2 season tickets  
  (Total of $505 for one seat or $910 for two seats?)

  -- "High Five" - $291 plus a $50 donation to UCATS per season ticket (upper five rows of designated sections at Fifth Third Arena) 
  (Total of $341 per seat?)

  Do the above prices include season tickets for football as well?  And, for the "Regular" package, where should I expect my seats to be?  How much to I have to give to get in the lower level?  Or is it not a matter of money, but a matter of how long I am a season ticket holder (or a combination of both)?

  Thanks in advance to those who know for answering!  

  - Jay

      Anyone out there a Gold Bearcat UCATs member?  How much of the $2000 is tax deductible?  In the past it has been $1440 of $1800, but it went up this year.  I either threw it out or never got that notice.

      Thanks,

      Andy
