SEAT Selection
F.A.Q.
What are my options if I’m not available during my specified time? You are able to select your seats at any time after your specific date and time up until the final seat selection date. Another party may select for you online. It is the account holder’s responsibility to provide account number and pin number to that person, along with seating preference. A Proxy Form (available on HerdZone.com under ticket tab) must be returned to the ticket office one week prior to the first selection date to have another party select for you in person at the ticket office. Will I have the opportunity to renew the same seats I select during the 2014 seat selection process for the 2015 season? Yes. Individuals will have the option to renew their same seats for the 2015 season that they selected for 2014 season. How often will the seat selection process occur? The seat selection process for football will occur every five seasons (subject to change). What if I want to sit next to someone specific? If you wish to choose seats next to someone else, we recommend simply waiting until the lower Priority Point person’s date and time. It is imperative that all parties wishing to sit together communicate with one another to make sure they select seats at the same time as the lowest Priority Point member of the group. What if I’m not near a computer when it is my time to choose? Not only can individuals select their seats by visiting HerdZone.com, you may also do so by calling 800-THE-HERD, or stopping by the Cam Henderson Center Athletic Ticket Office or Big Green Office in person at your specific date and time or after. It is recommended individuals selecting in person show up 30 minutes prior to their time. What are the advantages to selecting my seat locations online? We encourage that you complete the seat selection process using HerdZone.com. By doing so online, you are able to see your exact seats along with a virtual view of the field from any seat.
