Gordon Monson: “The school is asking fans who want season tickets at the Marriott Center for the coming basketball season to take a chance on donating more money in the hope of increasing their odds of getting those tickets.”
The school is asking its fans — at least it can be interpreted that way without much stretch — to do something The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints discourages its members from doing.Only Momma might want something even more — season tickets at BYU basketball games.
Here’s the thing: Fans can jack up their donations, until it hurts for them personally, but there are no guarantees that they’ll get their desired seats or any seats at all. In football, according to school officials, all Cougar Club members who wanted season tickets got their shot at them, as mentioned some in a less desirable location. While basketball will also displace fans from their former seats, everyone — including Cougar Clubbers and others — is uncertain whether some fans will get shutout completely.
Some fans are royally blue over what’s happening, unable to afford gifts to the school and uncertain that even if they scratch up more cash that it will actually result in what they seek — decent seats or any kind of seats at the games. Informing people, if they do stack up considerable priority points, precisely where their seats could be remains a crapshoot.
“We’ll tell people what it’s looking like as we go,” said McBride. “We’re trying to be as transparent as we can be.”Other than that money gifted could, he said, “increase your chances.”
