BALLENA
In August, all qualifying patrons who have ordered season tickets will be assigned a selection date and time that will allow them entrance into the Ballena Select-ASeat system based on their Hokie Club point priority ranking. Seat improvements and new season ticket allocations will be selected by patrons using Ballena’s online selection technology. It will allow for real-time assignment of seat locations.
INACTIVE AND DOWNGRADED MEMBERSHIPS Hokie Club members who downgraded their membership level or became inactive as of Dec. 31, 2015 will need to reselect new seats during their selection dates and times as their 2015-16 season tickets will be released and available in the system.
RENEWING SEAT PATRONS Patrons who wish to retain the same seat location from 2015-16 and have maintained their membership level do not need to do anything. Your 2015-16 seat assignment will be locked in prior to the start of the process and can only be changed if you wish to change it for 2016-17.
SEAT IMPROVEMENT PATRONS Any patrons who wish to improve their current seat location will log into the system using their customer number and provided personal access code at their selection date and time. Once logged in, it will be up to the patron to decide if any of the open seats are better than his/her current seats. If these patrons decide to change locations, they simply click on the open seats to select their new seat location. These seats will then be added to their cart. Once the full allocation of seats has been selected, each patron will be asked to confirm which of the seats in his/her cart he/she wishes to retain for the new season. To drop a seat from the cart, the patron simply clicks on the red ‘X’ next to the unwanted seats to release them from the cart. NOTE: Once you release seats, they may be selected by someone else in the system.
NEW SEAT PATRONS Patrons ordering tickets for the first time will log into the system using their customer number and provided personal access code during their selection date and time. Once logged in, it will be up to the patron to choose a seat location from any of the open seats.
TO ADD SEATS DURING SELECTION Patrons wishing to increase the number of season tickets they purchase, based on availability and priority limits, should contact the Athletics Ticket Office prior to their selection time.
SELECTION TIP ON SINGLE SEATS In order to minimize unsellable single tickets, you will be prompted to reselect new seats or purchase the additional seat, if availability and priority limits allow, when making a selection that leaves a single seat by itself.
