This is the reply I received:
A few things we are doing this year for those who renew by March 15th. It’s not required to renew by the 15th, but anyone who does will receive extra priority points and be entered to win 10 Tournament tickets, a Team Signed Basketball, and a Coach Odem Signed basketball.
Season ticket holders will have the option to relocate in mid-May, and their place in line will be determined by two things: 1. Previous years' giving and 2. Points. Someone who wants to potentially boost their spot in line could do so by renewing by March 15th and receive those extra points. More info will be sent this week.
I understand there have been some questions and confusion about why we are launching our renewal process earlier this year. While this process is new to our fanbase, it’s not new to the world of sports. Most professional teams launch season ticket renewals prior to the end of the regular season, and college athletic departments are quickly starting to do the same.
The best time to talk about next season is during this current season. In the last few home games, the Siegel Center has been filled with excitement. We have had a higher than anticipated demand for season tickets next season. On our end, it’s ideal to know what seats are going to be available heading into the summer so we can fill those seats for next season.
Long-winded response, but please let me know if you have any questions. You don’t have to renew by March 15th; you can wait until the May deadline
