NLC New Season Ticket Point Cut-Off

since if they were “checking to make sure there were enough funds” they could just award the tickets as soon as they see the check is cashed, which obviously didn’t happen. There are a lot of businesses that make money off of interest of money that they don’t really “own” and will be giving back eventually. Just think about mail in rebates, where yes, they make money off of people who never send them in in the first place, but they also make a few months interest on the “rebate” money from the time you pay full price for whatever, until the time (6-8 weeks later) that they send you the check and you cash it. On individual purchases it isn’t a ton of money, but for every rebate ever processed, that $ adds up.

at the NLC page that describes the points, and I see where your post about 15 points comes in, but they have not put my AA membership 10 point bonus on yet. Will that happen eventually, or do I need to raise hell to someone?

Just got off the phone with the NLC. Not like it wil matter for me, as it will only bump me to 18, but they said they do a bulk application of that year’s AA members.

is there’s almost enough seats for every NLC member to be able to get 4 tickets, and yet I can’t even get 2 (yeah yeah, I know plenty of high donor people have a billion seats, it just frustrates me)

It just jumps to almost 1500 memebers out of nowhere.

As far as I know, it is only for graduates, but I could be way off. Of course, the word “Alumni” in “Alumni Association” is pretty self explanatory. That being said, I don’t think I had to prove alumni-ship when I got mine, but they might cross-reference when they sell the memberships. Again, I have no idea, mine was a gift from my alumni father.

their long term cash flow with all the discounted lifetime memberships becasue I recently received an offer to become a “contributing lifetime member”. You get all the benefits of your current membership that was paid in full 15 yrs ago, but you now have the privelege of belonging to a select group that is still sending checks to PSU. True men of genius.

My dad’s seats were on the ten yd-line 2/3 of the way up the side of the bowl to the luxury boxes, and the sun was a bitch.

It’s also a great view of the valley from up there. And like I said you get a great perspective of the field from up there, almost a videogame-esque view of the field.

the North seats face south, which is where the sun typically is, especially in late november noon games.

But yeah, ever since I’ve graduated, the only seats I ever get are in the North Upper or South Upper. They aren’t a terrible view (I actually like being up high enough that I can see the plays develop and such, and my favorite seats are midway up in the corner…which just happens to be the student section :-p ). What I don’t like about the South Upper, though, is you are above the band and student section, so you don’t really hear them that well.

What they will do is start you off in the North or the South. That doesn’t mean that you’re stuck there though. What you’ll want to do is select a preference if you want to sit somewhere else. Then what the NLC will do is look at the amount of openings in that section and all of the requests for that section. They will award the open seats to the people with the most points that requested that section.

Once you get tickets, the NLC will keep you in that section forever unless you request a seat change and even then you’ll have to have enough points to qualify for the seat change as I indicated above. That’s why the process is about timing and money.
