Virginia Tech Football 2015 Season Ticket Catalog

2 0 1 5 F O O T B A L L T I C K E T C ATA L O G

GREETINGS HOKIE NATION I hope this message finds you all doing well! As always, we thank you for your support of our athletics programs and for the energy and passion that each of you bring every time you come to one of our events.

This is the time of year when we all start looking ahead to the 2015 football season.

Let me first say, though, that I’m proud of our strong finish to 2014. We won three of our final four games, beat Virginia for the 11th straight time and then won the Military Bowl against Cincinnati. You all played an integral part in our great finish to 2014, and you will again play a huge role in our success in 2015.

We’re really excited about our 2015 home schedule. We have Ohio State coming here in one of the most anticipated games in Lane Stadium history. The Buckeyes won the national championship, and we’ll be playing in front of the nation on Labor Day. We also have terrific home matchups against Duke, North Carolina, Pittsburgh and NC State – and all four of those teams played in bowl games this past season.

@VT_Football

So the challenge is large, but we’re optimistic about our team in 2015. We have 15 starters returning. All eight of our All-ACC performers from last season return, and 100 percent of our scoring returns as well. We’re excited about the possibilities.

That said, we need you this season. Fan support is paramount, and your attendance and passion at the Virginia game and the Military Bowl were critical in us winning those final two games. We hope that you will purchase season tickets and be with us every step of the way in 2015.

We look forward to seeing you all for the season opener against Ohio State on Labor Day. Let’s make the 2015 season the best yet.

Go Hokies!

Hokie Club Point Priority System: The Hokie Club uses a standard formula called the point priority system to assign a rank to each member of the Hokie Club. The point priority system is used to distinguish and distribute all Hokie Club benefits.

The system was designed to reward those who are loyal and active supporters of the Hokie Club.

Hokie Club Donations: Priority points will be calculated based on contributions made by Dec. 31 for the upcoming year. Consideration for new seats, seat selection, single-game tickets, etc., will be based on points accrued by that date.

Priority: Orders from Hokie Club members are prioritized according to their point priority rank as of the Dec. 31 donation deadline.

Donation Payment: Please include a separate check for any Hokie Club donations sent with your season ticket order. Make checks to Virginia Tech Athletic Fund or VTAF. Priority Ticket Limits: Platinum Hokies and above can order up to six priority season tickets. Golden Hokies and below can order up to four priority season tickets. Season tickets are unlimited outside of priority when available. (Refer to the Benefits Chart at www. hokieclub.com).

Any questions regarding the Hokie Club, please contact our office at (540) 231-6618.

BALLENA

SELECT-A-SEAT

Continuing with the 2015 football season, all seat improvements, new season ticket allocations and parking allocations will be selected using Ballena’s online selection technology. It will allow for real-time assignment of seat locations and parking spaces for all ticket holders. In April, all qualifying patrons who have ordered season tickets will be assigned a selection date and time that will allow them entrance into the system based on their Hokie Club point priority ranking.

u Inactive and Downgraded Memberships Hokie Club members who downgraded their membership level or became inactive as of Dec. 31, 2014 will need to reselect new seats during their selection dates and times as their 2014 season tickets will be released and available in the system.

u Renewing Seat Patrons Patrons who wish to retain the same seat location from 2014 and have maintained their membership level need not do anything. Your 2014 seat assignment will be locked in prior to the start of the process and can only be changed if you wish to change it.

u 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 available green seat dots are better than his/her current seats. If these patrons decide to change locations, they simply click on the green seat dots 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.

u New Seat Patrons Patrons ordering tickets for the first time or wishing to increase the number of season tickets they purchase (based on availability), 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 available green seat dots.

u 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.

PARKING INFORMATION Parking maps are available at www.hokieclub.com/tickets-parking.php

Parking will continue to be selected annually based on your Hokie Club point priority ranking as of the Dec. 31 benefits deadline.
