In 1990, the Wildcat Club Priority Point System was created to supplement the priority seating program and to reward loyal Wildcat fans for years of season ticket purchases and contributions to the Arizona Athletics.
THE PRIORITY POINT SYSTEM IS USED TO DETERMINE:
- All post-season ticket assignments including quantity and location (must be current Wildcat Club member or current season ticket holder in corresponding sport)
- Single-game tickets for away football and Men’s Basketball games (must be current Wildcat Club member or current season ticket holder in corresponding sport)
- Luncheon and banquet seating
- Season ticket upgrades for current members during the renewal process in Football, Women’s Basketball and Softball (based upon availability)
- Season ticket upgrades for current members (based upon availability). Preferential seating will be given to donors who contribute to Capital Projects
- Men’s Basketball season tickets upgrades within the same priority area. (example: A donor wishes to improve their “C”area seats within the same section, or move to a different “C” area section)
PLEASE NOTE:
New Men’s Basketball seats in McKale Center may be assigned to only those donors who contribute to Capital Projects. Men’s Basketball seating upgrades to higher priority area may be based on gifts to support Capital Projects.
