93% of what? They talked about season ticket sales and seemed excited about some 93% number but it sounded like 93% of last years number which sounds disappointing to me. Have tickets only gone on sale to existing ticket holders?

I think it must be significant to be at 93% of the previous season's total this early on after the season. They didn't say where they were on May 25th last year but the impression is that they were not close to this far along.

If I remember correctly, renewals are typically not available until I think August usually. They opened them early this year to capitalize on the good year.

Guessing the goal is to get a 100% renewal rate quickly so they can open general season ticket sales ASAP ahead of typical sales cycle.

ETA: Looks like regular season ticket sales are open.

if 93% of people renewed then that would be impressive. But if we are at just 93% of last years season ticket sales when combining renewals and new signups that doesn't sound impressive. It's clearly not bad, I was just hoping for more. You can actually go up to ramblinwreck.com and see exactly which seats still remain, just did it and it's a lot. Entire sections are empty. We had such a small base of season ticket holders last year that I am hopeful of a very big jump - 50% over last year or more. I don't know the exact numbers but I bet we could get to 100% over last year(aka 200%) and still not be very close to a sell out.

I went back and checked dates... @dtm1997 is pretty close... I paid my renewal last year on July 3 and this year on May 4, so renewals opened up two full months in advance. Good move by the ath dept to strike while the iron is still hot.

I renewed 6 of my 8 seats, but checked and the two I let go were already sold the next day. (I had seats on the floor, but couldn't justify the expense anymore.) Based on the seating map on ramblinwreck, there are still about 25 seats in the Callaway Club available. The non-club seats in 108- 110 appear to be sold out. Tons of seats left in 100 & 102. That's surprising, as those are sideline lower level seats.

Bottom line, if you're interested in season tickets, this is a great opportunity to get them in good locations. If CJP keeps the momentum going, you won't be able to get seats in the Club or 100/102 again. Once people snag those seats, they tend to hang onto them. I've had my season tix at midcourt for 16 years and you'd have to pry them out of my cold dead hands ;)
