Seat Yourself Process

[kldm64]

I just looked and absolutely amazed how many seats are available through the Seat Yourself Process that started today.  There are a ton of great seats still available yet.  My time slot isn't till tomorrow but can't believe so many people must not have reviewed their season tickets.

I think we're seeing that across the US and across the world. I'm sure there's many factors in play.

 

Some potentially COVID related, some may have reevaluated their entertainment budgets, others may be more comfortable staying home or find the value proposition of grabbing a six-pack some burgers and a TV much cheaper and more entertaining than going to the game, some may be voting with their season tickets and canceling them; there's likely so many factors at play.

 

But I also don't think this is a "last two years" trend. Viewership behaviors have shifted quite a bit over the last decade. Even Moos was complaining about people watching the football games on mobile phones while out on the golf course. I'm curious how the overall behavioral changes will end up once many of these major variables start to settle again.

Would someone be willing to look up my section? Just curious what seats are open around mine...

I agree, Husker hoops fans have been kicked in the teeth enough times to not let the last two years get them down. Plus, the future is VERY bright.

 

But Covid has changed the formula, along with more viewing options. A lot of people don't want to tie up their money if they think we're going to be canceling games again. Others (mostly older fans) may have decided they didn't mind watching from home, instead of going out into the cold. 

 

I still think we'll have great crowds, but I don't expect season ticket sales to be what they were.

I assume this is 100 level tickets.  I'd assume this is covid related because we're talking about an indoor environment and things changing on a day to day basis.

We'll see how many are left and what demand looks like once they open to the general public.

The "Seat Yourself" process doesn't start for basketball until tomorrow, according to this item on Huskers.com: "The Seat Yourself process for the 2021-22 Men's Basketball season will begin August 24 and will end August 27 (or before if all tickets have been sold prior to August 27)." 

And I'm not seeing anything that shows what seats are currently available.

What am I missing?

Let's start with a hypothetical: sections 303 and 220 and 115.

[hskr4life]

I’m not until Thursday.  Ughhhh

[Swan88]

So . . . here's the deal.  The opportunity to sign up for Seat Yourself came with the email for ticket renewal.

Anyone who didn't sign up then is not in the process.

[HuscurAdam]

This is what it looks like now...

I think it is decieving because when you zoom in there is mostly scattered seats available, but I'd say renewals were easily north of 80%.

[HuscurAdam]

Here are Sections 303, 220, and 115....

[HuscurAdam]

If you want seats on the 100 level, unless your time is today, good luck. 

[kldm64]

I'm already in the 100 section but was hoping to move down closer to the court but my time isn't till 1pm today so not looking good I'll be able to do that.  I have great seats now but always looking to improve any chance I get.  

[Norm Peterson]

My only hope in this seat yourself process is that the people who are left ahead of me already have better seats than the ones that are open.

 

It's probably not going to happen, sadly.

Any luck? I guess I was worried about losing my current seats if I did seat myself..

You are protected against losing your seats by doing Seat Yourself. There is no risk.

Welp good to know that in case it happens again in future. I am currently top row of 100 level and really do like them so doubtful I would of found any better.

At all or just to upgrade? Because I know there will be games I can’t get to this year.

That is not entirely true as if you uncheck the "keep" box accidently before you submit your request, you will lose your current seats.

No.  I'm pretty much at mid-court but was hoping to move closer to the court.  I was not able to find any better seats so just kept the ones I have.

I signed up for season ticket emails, but my time isn’t until tomorrow at 4:00 PMish

[hskr4life]

Do we know what’s left for season tickets out there?
