HOW WILL SEAT SELECTION PRIORITY BE DETERMINED?

Current 2015-16 basketball season ticket holders (including all Gator Boosters, season ticket holders & faculty/staff) will be ranked by their 2016 basketball Loyalty Point ranking.

New 2016-17 season ticket holders will be ranked after all current 2015-16 season ticket holders & must place a deposit of $100 by April 1, 2016.

IS IT POSSIBLE TO SELECT SEATS WITH MY FRIENDS?

Yes; the membership with the most amount of Loyalty Points that enters Virtual Venue first would need to wait until their friends are also in the Virtual Venue before selecting all their seats simultaneously.

WHEN WILL I KNOW MY APPOINTMENT TIME?

You will be notified in April by mail and email of your appointment time. Appointments will not begin until mid-May.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I AM NOT AVAILABLE DURINGMY APPOINTMENT TIME?

Please make every effort to be available during your scheduled appointment time so you will have the opportunity to select seats. If you realize in advance you will not be available, you have two options.

WHAT IF I’M NOT COMPUTER SAVVY OR DO NOT HAVEACCESS TO THE INTERNET?

Virtual Venue is very user friendly but we understand it can be intimidating for some, especially with the nervousness associated with choosing a seat location. You may call the Gator Ticket Office in advance and make them aware that you would prefer to show up in person and select your seats with the assistance of an employee of the athletic association.

LOYALTY POINT INFORMATIONThe value of the Gator Booster Loyalty Point System is based on: A. One (1) point for each $100 contributed to Gator Boosters for men’s basketball. B. Ten (10) points for each consecutive year of ordering men’s basketball season tickets. C. Milestone bonuses for each decade threshold you have achieved (50 points every 10 years) D. Financial contributions to our endowment or facility projects (2 points for each $100)

Football contributions have no bearing on men’s basketball seat assignments. Contributions which are applied toward football per-seat cannot be applied toward per-seat requirements in men’s basketball.

$6,500 - $9,999 YES

$2,400 - $6,499 YES

$100- $2,399 NO

This is a brand new arena. You are not required to maintain your previous level of contribution or the number of seats you’ve held. When your appointment time arrives, you can select any seat that is available and are only responsible for the required “per seat contribution.” Our only limitation is that a Gator Booster member cannot select more than four (4) club seats and cannot hold more than eight (8) total seats within Level 1. This restriction is to ensure that the most amount of Gator Boosters have the opportunity to select the best seats in the house.

Seat selection appointment times will be assigned to those placing an order for 2016-17 season tickets. All current 2015-16 Gator Boosters & season ticket holders will be placed in order of Loyalty Points. Any non 2015-16 Gator Booster or season ticket holder must place a $100 deposit by April 1, 2016 for an appointment time. Your appointment time represents the earliest time that you can access the system to select seats. Your selection window opens at your appointment time, and then you may select seats at any time until the selection process is complete in early July. There is no time limit; however, please keep in mind that others will be able to select seats as their selection windows open, so we encourage you to choose your seats as close to your assigned time as possible. We anticipate the overall process will require 6-8 weeks. Point rankings will be displayed online at

FloridaGators.com/renovation and will also be emailed to you in the upcoming weeks.

As we embark on the construction of our new Stephen C. O’Connell Center, there is great excitement for all of our programs that call this multi-purpose facility their home. The O’Dome has served this University, our athletic association, and the entire North Florida community well over the past 30+ years but the time has come for us to take this campus icon to the next level.

The construction of this new facility will include numerous changes to its layout and design, and as an organization, we are very sensitive to all of the University’s many diverse stakeholders. With that in mind, we are confident that the following plan is the most equitable for all those interested in ordering men’s basketballs season tickets for the upcoming 2016-17 season.

Jeremy FoleyDIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS

Dear Gators,

The process will be based on your ranking within the Gator Boosters Loyalty Point System. This ranking accounts for your consecutive years as a basketball season ticket holder (10 points per year), milestone bonuses for each decade threshold you have achieved (50 points every 10 years), ticket-related giving (1 point for each $100), as well as any financial contributions to our endowment or facility projects (2 points for each $100) that applied to men’s basketball.

Every season-ticket holder will be required to select new seats.

Gator Boosters will be assigned a seat selection date and appointment time according to their ranking within the Loyalty Point System.

Gator Boosters who are not 2015-16 MBK season-ticket holders will be assigned appointment times after all donors have completed their seat selections.

The selection process will begin in mid-May and will extend through early July.

In order to make sure the Gator Ticket Office has your most current contact. information, please log into your FloridaGators.com/tickets online account.
