My selection process is during a private walkthrough with GarBar and Coach Ferentz the day after the team returns from the bowl game.

We're not interested in mild cat seats

I select in early March. Is this where I call you a prole?
I guess you should. I only have 13 years of season tickets, and donate like a prole.
I have early March, what date does the reseating start on?
Also, have the contribution amounts changed at all? I dont think they have or am I mistaken or not remembering correctly?
zone 1 $600 - isnt that the same amount for midfield
zone 2 $400
zone 3 $200
zone 4 $50
and zone 5 or the white shaded areas in the endzones where no contribution is needed.
If the amounts arent changing why are they reseating?

And here I thought NW didn't make a bowl game this year.
Well too bad, my 29 years of ticket buying gets me on the private jet with GarBar coming back from Tampa where he and I go over my seat choices. Just kidding about the private jet thing.

I was scheduled to do mine after the Michigan game, but it was so cold I decided to wait until January.

Who is NW? Does GarBar or Coach Ferentz work for them?

The contribution amounts are not changing. The only donation change is a few areas that used to be donation free are now in the $50 area.
Why are they reseating? I noticed in the paper mailings I've received, they strongly hint at the fact that you should donate more, almost insinuate you must donate more, but don't actually say it. I think the whole reseating exercise increases giving, even though they don't force us to increase giving.
Actually this isn't true. All of the donation levels are going up except for the IClub ($50 level)
National I-Club Recognition Levels For Annual Contributions

uihawk82 and I were talking about donations for seating, which are not changing. You are correct that the I-Club levels are changing.
Things are as clear as mud, which is what I think the athletic department is attempting to accomplish. When everyone is clueless, they are more likely to donate more money in the fear that they'll lose their priority.

I just hope I can stay close to the seats I have...
If I had to make any change it would be to give less money. Getting too old to recoup the donations.
I will soon be passing the torch on to a new generation of hawk fanatics.
I have been hooked since the late 1950s when my dad took me and my brother to our first games. What a time to start watching Iowa football. And twenty years before that my dad took the train from Des Moines to see the ironmen.
My son is a fanatic now. And I hope times dont get rough again so more young people can go to games and take their kids.

I think I have 188 points.
But the first and last time they did this online reseating I clicked on 4 seats together on one side of an aisle and saved my selection. And guess what when I got my seats they were in a different section closer to the goal line.
Not sure how that worked out but buyer beware.
If you have season tickets then you should have something equivalent to where you are at now.
The worst case scenario is more people in the high seat donation areas opt to move to a section that has less donation and then people who pick late dont have seats in their donation amount price range, that would suck.
I had 4 seats at about the 42 yard line on the east side when they announced the first reseating and I could not justify donating $600 a seat. So like many people I had bought a lot of season tickets on an off from 1970 only to go from the 42 yard line to the goal line. But they are decent seats.
