They "can" do anything they want. But a lot of your questions

(and mine) will probably go unanswered/ignored. Years ago, when I first started asking, when my wife and I couldn't even get seats together, 800 seats in Cassell were set aside for 'other contractual obligations." Between that, the ADA seats, student seating, AthDept/HC set asides, etc, a lot of the seats are taken (red dots) during re-seating. The attitude of the VTTO/AthDept has been that once the seats are sold, there is nothing they can do. @VTScoop really didn't talk about these corporate seats. Many years ago, I wrote a series of screeds about this, but they didn't care, and most on here didn't either. I probably still have them saved somewhere. For years, there were four seats in front of my wife and I that were only used for the UNC, Duke, UVA and UofL games. And, on those occasions, they were filled by visiting team fans. We asked the UVA fans whose tickets they were, and they said Nike. Regular attendees know about these seats, just because they're usually empty (almost always for OOC, and usually for ACC games).

The "Membership" ticket strategy is incredibly stupid

There you go again, Chip, thinking outside the box.

There is another group that VT AD doesn't give a hoot for.

Can (rhetorical question) the Ath Dep encourage USE of corporate tix/seats?

Exactly. They do not care about "regular people" fans. Esp in WBB**
j9hokie 07/22/24 07:24 AM ET
This is also true.**

I feel like I'm in the same boat. I'm disappointed in the new system too.**

Our basketball ticket strategy isn’t very good
GreenvilleVT 07/19/24 06:37 AM ET
This is probably an outcome of the media money game
HokieAl 07/19/24 10:34 AM ET
You are exactly right - it is about ow it looks on TV
j9hokie 07/20/24 08:17 PM ET
