Important Policies You'll Want to Know Within the Equity Seating Plan
This new plan puts the selection of season ticket locations directly in the hands of Rams Club members. To expedite your selection, please note these important policies of the Equity Seating Plan:
- The giving level/points deadline for the 2011 football season ticket selections is APRIL 15, 2011. This is a HARD DEADLINE. All orders must be received by this date, and all giving levels must be established by this date for any selection priority for the member.
- Rams Club members will have the opportunity to select their own seats and eligible parking spaces online or in person. Appointments will be determined after the April 15 deadline, and will be shared with members directly by mail and email. Members with giving levels in Priority
- Group A will be ranked by points, and will choose seats in rank order. Members in Priority Group B will be ranked by points, and will choose next.
- If your ticket order in the main bowl exceeds your priority ticket limit (based on giving level), you have three options:
- Upgrade your Rams Club Membership to the appropriate giving level.
- You may choose the maximum number of tickets on priority, and have any surplus tickets auto-assigned in the Surplus Tickets group.
- You may move your full group of tickets to the next Priority Group, and choose them together - Group A to Group B; or Group B to the back of Group B (maximum of 8 tickets).
- The default option is the second option of extra tickets assigned in the Surplus Tickets group. Please notify The Rams Club if you intend to use the third option for your extra tickets.
- If you are unable to make your appointed time in May/June, you will have an opportunity to list seating preferences in advance of the selection process. Your seats will be chosen for you based on those preferences should you not be able to make your appointment.
- Seats in premium seating areas (Blue Zone, North and South Koury Boxes, Pope Box) do not count against available priority ticket limitations. However, your total ticket order (premium and main bowl) does count toward available parking priority.
- If two or more members wish to choose seats together to guarantee adjoining seats, they may do so based upon the priority of the member with the fewest membership points. For example, if a member with 450 points wants to choose seats and parking with a member who has 150 points, their selection appointment time will be based upon the member with 150 points.
- Members will not be able to choose a seat location that strands a single seat in a row. For example, if three consecutive seats remain in a row, a member choosing two seats will not be allowed to choose two of those three seats. This policy maximizes capacity at KenanStadium, and protects against leaving unsellable single seats.
- The Rams Club reserves the right to move your selection one seat to the left or right to avoid stranding singles or odd numbers of seats in a row. This policy will not be used to move seats off of an aisle, or if it disturbs "stacked" seats (a block of seats back-to-back in two rows).
- A member who is 30 minutes late for his/her selection time will have his/her seats assigned automatically to protect priority. The staff will choose the best available seats closest to the previous year's assignment.
- As under the previous policy, members must be at the Big Ram level or higher to qualify for a parking pass. Qualifying members will receive the rights to choose one parking pass with a purchase of 1-5 tickets. A second pass will be made available with a season ticket purchase of 6 seats or more; a third pass with a purchase of 10 seats or more; and a fourth pass with the purchase of 14 seats or more.
- As with the surplus tickets policy, any surplus parking passes will be assigned automatically after other parking selections are made. For example, if a Big Ram (who qualifies for four seats on priority) purchases eight seats, four will be chosen on priority and four assigned automatically. The purchase of eight seats qualifies the member for two parking passes. One pass will be available for selection by themember; the second pass will be assigned automatically after all qualifying members have chosen parking.
- In years where no selection process occurs, members will maintain their seat assignments as long as their giving level does not decrease.
- In the years between selections, any change requests or additional ticket orders will be handled in priority rank order, and will utilize seats available at that time.
