The "Membership" ticket strategy is incredibly stupid
If you don't want empty seats because people (prob big donors and corporates) buy premium seats but don't come to games, limit the number of seats one person can buy, use tiered ticket pricing, and REWARD PEOPLE WHO DO COME TO GAMES. I am local and did not miss one game. Donated to Hokie Club, etc., multi year season tkt holder. Was I rewarded? Nope, got bumped to GA.
Punishing people who don't come vs rewarding those that do is frigging dumb. People who show add to the atmosphere AND buy overpriced concessions, wear Hokie merch, etc. Should be respected and rewarded, not dumped.

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

This is probably an outcome of the media money game
