  • Hi Guest, we are working on updating the site servers and software. We're also 'forcing' everyone to read and agree to our site privacy policy and terms of service. There are no significant changes to either of these but the terms page does clarify a few things that are mostly in the legalese. You can just click the checkbox for both and continue using the site as usual! We'll update you more on the site upgrades VERY soon!

I need to go through my mail...I am 99% sure I didn't get anything from UA...but all these people talking about it is making me nervous. I had faculty/staff tickets through the 2006 season...but put myself on the list towards the end.

You'll get an email first notifying you of the impending letter.

My brother-in-law and I both signed up in early 2006.:conf2: After hearing all of the people that signed up in 2006 that are getting in this year, I will be somewhat distraught if we don't get in. I have really had my hopes up, but it's starting to fade with each passing day that we don't get a letter/email.

Congratulations to all who have gotten their tix this year! rtr

I never got any e-mail. My letter just came out of the blue. It shocked me more than anything because I had just about given up hope on ever getting season tix. Last year, I thought I wouldn't get to go to a game due to finances, but amazingly I won a pair of tickets to the Bama-Arkansas game in some Toyota contest out of B'ham. That was fun!

I thought many a times during the Shula years about buying multiple tickets just because I could. I knew if we turned it around those tickets would be like gold. Geesh was I right. How many times have I regretted not buying more...oh well, I should be thankful for the seats I have. I'm glad to see some movement in the Tide Pride list.
Boy am I glad I jumped in when they first announced this back in the dark days (Curry). :) On my way to Calgary today. I'll be through the ATL this thursday and again on Sat so might see you and might not. RTR

I signed up after Saban's first A-Day game and just got one of the magic letters:)

I checked both of the upgrade boxes at the bottom of the form and just got a call offering me an upgrade to either the BAMA or Touchdown club:biggrin2: Surprised to say the least!...Never though i'd get an upgrade offer in the first year.

The seats are still U4, but guaranteed closer to mid-field. Needless to say, i'm writing another check to Tide Pride:)

:BigA:

That scenario played out for me, as well, deskclerk. Small wonders never cease, but this big one was well-timed and much appreciated! Bama or Touchdown?

Wait, so on your initial form to join Tide Pride there was an option to upgrade to Bama or Touchdown? Did anyone else who was in the first two rounds of invites get that option?

when i signed up there was no option. I just went and looked and now it gives you 5 or 6 different levels to put in the order in which you would purchase. you also have to put how many tickets you want.

I have been in the Touchdown club since 1999. To me, it hits the "sweet spot" between the too-expensive scholarship seats and the lower levels where your seats aren't as good.

My seats are in lower level, West stands. We have been sitting with the same people for 10 years now and we love where we sit. Even if we were offered the option to upgrade, we would not.

My CC location used to be BDS Only TD Club, when TP got rid of BDS Only, shortly after that, they restructured the levels. I got a letter in the mail telling me if I want to continue being in TD Club, then my donation was going up or if I want to remain in my seats, I would be bumped down to CC, coming from NJ and only going to a couple of games, I opted for the CC level and my donaton decreased.

They actually offered either amazingly. I went with Bama. Touchdown was VERY tempting, but I want to see where they put me in a Bama section first. If i'm on the isle six feet from the Touchdown section next door, it will have been a good wager. If i'm in the top row on the other side of the Bama section, i'll start beggin for another upgrade next year:biggrin2:

Either way, i'm giddy as a kid in a candy store though...RTR!

I don't blame you...those are great seats. I suspect my children will be lucky to see our seats in the west lowers...and I have no children yet:smile:
