Way too hard to predict even if you had all of the Hokie Club data in front


of you. There are simply too many variables to calculate an accurate estimate.

For example, the top 1300 or so in the current priority rankings likely aren't going to move much priority-wise at all. Let's say currently 40% of those 1300 are paying the minimum $500/year. How many of them are going to pony up whatever additional money to keep good seats and parking? I'm guessing most of them will. They will probably only lose 100-200 people at most, IMO. But that's a complete guess and there is really no way to know. A lot of them may just choose to buy a couple seats in lower sections. That could be 0 tickets or it could be a 2000 tickets in lower sections.

Nothing really changes for the current Platinum Hokies (roughly 500 of them).

The Golden Hokies are where it will get very interesting. I think most people that are donating $2k won't have much trouble jumping up to $2500 for good parking. But what about people that buy 4 seats? Going from $2k to $3200 is a much bigger jump. So do they just go to $2500 and buy 4 seats in the $600 section?

Also, a lot of longtime Silver hokies and even Bronze will jump some of the newer Golden Hokies. Do those Silver Hokies pony up $600 additional and buy two $800 seats taking them away from the Golden Hokies? And then all of these variables just continue to trickle down.

Parking will be very interesting too. I think a lot of newer Golden Hokies like myself that like Lot 8 may wind up very disappointed. I think the long-time silver hokies and some of the Golden and champions that don't feel like paying $2500 are going to swallow that lot up before it gets down to us. The question is will there be anything left in Lots 1-5 by that point? If not, newer Golden Hokies are going to be way overpaying for parking compared to the current system.
