Season Tickets

Explain this to me as though I suck at math (fact check: true).

5,500 seats = (hypothetically) 2,000 people (assuming that the average is something over 2 tickets per person) which means that the person at 50th percentile is #1,000 to select and the person at the 75th percentile is #500 to select, something like that?

Also presuming the cap is your current # of tickets but IDK.

From a purely Math perspective that sounds about right. I guess the big questions are:
  • How many season ticket holders/group participants are there in total? Correct to probably assume 2K for CA but how many more for MSG only?
  • Is it possible for MSG only ticket holders to jump over full season ticket holders based on donations and will they be more likely to buy full season tickets with all of the excitement about next year's team thereby pushing full season tix holders who can't or don't donate more down the list?
  • Why did they have the top percentile at 5th? Usually your percentile represents the percentage of the group you are higher than? My high 90s SAT scores taught me that. ;)

Yes I also thought that the person who posted that needs more math classes :ROFLMAO:

I believe your math assumptions to be correct. I wonder if there will actually be 2,000 virtual slots, I envision groups receiving certain slots at the same time.

But that’s just me wondering.

Another thing not being considered within this process is what prices will be next year. There might be people who “qualify” through point totals for seats they decide to pass on for “worse” seats at a lower price point.

As an example back in the 1980s I had Mets season tickets that would be the equivalent of Delta Club now. My current plan is nowhere near that location, simply because at current prices I no longer consider that location a value not because I was pushed out by a points process.

Also, it would be good to know how many season ticket holders buy section 116,117,118, and 106 to 108 at MSG?

I agree about the prices. I may go for "worse" seats then I qualify for. Will be looking for aisle at MSG. Great seats but in the middle, brutal to get in and out of.

Aisle middle is definitely the sweet spot. I like visiting the guys in 114 but it's a bit off center for my liking. ;)
