Interesting, still not sure how these times were determined
I feel the frustration of those who have been bumped to general admission.
I purchased tickets this year hoping to get reserved seating, bit I also ended up in general admission seats. I do donate, but since I choose to fund other areas at VT, my athletic donations are not huge. My "selection" time is this afternoon.
I am seeing posts from people who should have received times much earlier than me.
The last time we had season tickets to any sport was during the Michael Vick era when we had season football tickets. We moved out of state after that and had small children, so we gave those tickets up. I have always supported the women's basketball team, but been content to see them here in North Carolina with an occasional trip to Blacksburg. I am happy to see the support that has grown over the years!
Now that I am retired, I figured I would get season tickets and try to get to Blacksburg as often as possible. I knew I wouldn't get wonderful seats; however, with the addition of more reserved seating, as well as having a seIection time, I thought I would at least be guaranteed reserved seats somewhere so I wouldn't have to stand in lines for so long-not so much fun since I am now older! I will call and select the seats, but I think that my planned trips Blacksburg have now decreased. I like seeing the long lines but I don't want to stand in them!
For those of you who have been there to support the team, thank you! I hope you will continue to do so. I am sorry that you got bumped to general admission. I would prefer to see you in those seats than seeing a bunch of empty seats from those who can afford that choice. It does not look good when I watch a team on tv that has empty seats close to the court. Let's hope that the VT ticket office also sees this as a problem and allows general admission holders to fill the lower seats for games!
Go Hokies!

Yep. They're rejecting more money (additional $80/ticket).
