So I went online last night at 12:01am to purchase my tickets to the Aggie Invitational. I bought 5 club level seats, my father in-law bought 10. What really sucks about buying them from the school is that you are NOT able to actually select your seats. You can only buy tickets for "a section" and I am presuming A&T's ticket office will seat you wherever they want to seat you at within that space.
This is of course FAR different from buying the tickets through Ticketmaster where you can purchase AND select your seats. But of course we are encouraged to buy them through the A&T ticket office because the money goes "directly to the school." Nevertheless, not being able to actually select where you are sitting within the section absolutely SUCKS and I wish this wasn't the case. We have a large group and we want to be able to sit close together. Oh well.

They should be able to accommodate that request.

See this is the kind of nonsense that irks me. This is a simple matter all purchases with multiple allotments should be seated together. but then like Bumpy stated to Shaft when Shaft asked Bumpy about the cost for his efforts wherein Bumpy replied "money matters.." and blew cigar smoke in Shaft's face crossing his legs and relaxing on his couch.

It shouldn't be that difficult and I have the sneaky suspicion that it doesn't have to be. The ticket office really needs to work on updating their system to allow consumers the ability to select their seats. We have some older folks within the group who have knee problems and it would be nice and to their benefit to go in and manually select the seat that is nearest the exit instead of having to walk down (and up) the steps of the stadium in order to use the bathroom, visit concessions, etc.

Say if some wants club level seats will the second level be available for those who have missed the first round of buying. Or do this mean that SWAC side has to sell out or some of buy on SWAC side club level that is?

Yes because I’m unable to see where I’m sitting I cancelled my order for tickets for the family . I’m not comfortable with that , I have kids who like to go to the restroom for no reason when a game gets good so I always choose a row with end seats. That way I don’t have to say excuse me every 15-20 minutes. I hate being that person .... But I’ll be by the band wherever I sit more than likely

I purchased through the school last year and this process was in place. You will be grouped together in the section you ordered. If you have 3 club seats, your three seats will be next to one another generally. I'm not sure where all of this confusion came in to play this year.
I guess it's a sign that the demand for these tickets increased tremendously.

You do know that SWAC could select their seats when tickets went on sale. In fact, they could select and purchase their seats at midnight anywhere on their side of the stadium. A&T should have given better information and directions to their fans on when all of the sections, including the club level would be open. That would have shown the fan base that A&T is not as incompetent as many think. It would have shown that the university cares about their fans and do not just take them for granted. A&T needs to stop being lazy and assign people who actually know how to plan for major events. They owe every fan that wasted time at midnight an explanation.

Agreed now do this mean that perhaps the second level club seating will be available on our side? I like the club seating and have always been in this section due to the convenience.

In looking at the chart seats are available on the SWAC side club level that is the point how long will this last before those of who desire club level have to make a decision once SWAC side is taken off the chart. Will the second level be available on the MEAC side?
