someone help me with this math...
I have been a season ticket holder for a while (not a long while, but a while - dating back to the last couple years in the dome). I currently have four tickets in the corner, section 133 next to the student section, 20-something rows up. I put in a change request to move closer to the middle of the field. I never heard anything back on it so I assumed my Gopher points or whatever didn't merit it. Oh well.
Then, a couple weeks ago, my brother in law called me to let me know that he was just offered 4 seats roughly 20 rows up in section 135 (the exact section I wanted to move to) as a brand new season ticket holder (had been on the waiting list). He didn't make any donations or anything to raise his Gopher points. Basically, he got "my" seats and was able to do so by just jumping on the bandwagon AFTER last season. Brand new to the scene and no extra $$. I actually helped him find the season ticket waiting list.
