FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

 
How are timeslots determined?
Timeslots are determined by ranking all John Purdue Club (JPC) members who are season ticket holders by priority points with non-member season ticket holders at the end of the reseat.
HOW CAN I BE A PART OF THE RESEAT IF I AM A JPC MEMBER BUT NOT A CURRENT SEASON TICKET HOLDER?
All JPC members who would like to be considered for the reseat and are not current season ticket holders will need to contact their Boilermaker Athletics Representative to be added to the reseat waitlist. Any JPC member on the reseat waitlist will be ranked in order of their priority points. Being on the waitlist does not guarantee you will be a part of the reseat.

How many seats can I purchase?
  • In order to ensure we are able to offer season tickets to as many fans as possible, all season ticket holders will have a purchase limit of 8 total tickets.
    Further limitations for seats in the lower arena (including club and courtside seats) and upper preferred section, will be dictated based upon level as follows:
    • Brees Leadership ($43,790+): 8
    • Champion ($22,885+): 8
    • Hall of Fame ($15,000+): 6
    • Olympian ($10,000+): 6
    • Legend ($5,000+): 4
    • All-American ($2,500+): 4
    • MVP ($1,000+): 4*
    • Captain ($500+): 4*
    • First Team ($200+): 2*
    • Young Professionals: 2*
*Lower arena season tickets only available to All-American level members and above
How can I improve my seats?
Increasing your JPC priority points is the only way to move your timeslot earlier in the reseat. Please contact your Boilermaker Athletics Representative or the JPC office at 765.494.2582 to strategize the best way to earn points for your specific situation.
How long do I have to increase my JPC priority points?
Priority points will freeze on April 30, 2022.
How can I get in the lower level of Mackey?
John Purdue Club members hoping to be able to select seats in the lower level of Mackey Arena, must be All-American level members or higher and will need to have enough points to be ranked high enough that their reseat timeslot occurs before all previous timeslot holders have selected their seats in the lower level. To learn more about approximate projected cutoffs and how to earn JPC priority points, please click HERE to contact your Boilermaker Athletics Representative or call 765.494.2582.
Will premium seating (club or courtside seating) be part of the reseat?
As an added benefit to premium seat holders, and because these seats are part of multi-year contracts, they will not be reseated unless the seating is impacted by a renovation.
How can I purchase club or courtside seats?
Please reach out to your Boilermaker Athletics Representative or call the John Purdue Club at 765.494.2582 to be placed on the premium seating waitlist.
Why do we reseat every 5 years?
  • The reseat process provides a path for loyal members to improve their seating over time (In the past, seat upgrades rarely occurred).
  • This process helps us provide incentive for fans to increase giving and help provide the resources needed for our student-athletes to achieve athletic and academic success. Annual support goes to cover our $12M scholarship and academic support bill to the university for our 550+ student-athletes.
  • Allows members who may have lived out-of-state or were unable to attend games but continued to support an entry point into season tickets that is reasonable for their level of loyalty and support.
How will the reseat work to pick my seats?
  • You will be sent an email that will confirm your time slot in late May/early June.  
  • All fans involved in the reseat will get another email that will include a link to the online seat selector which will walk you through the steps of selecting the seats you want from the available seats at the time your choice comes up.
  • When your time slot opens you will be able to log into your account and pick your seats
If I've traditionally held more than my limit of tickets, will I still be grandfathered?
No, in order to increase the number of fans able to access the best seats and to incentivize more fans to support our student-athletes as well as reduce the number of tickets sold on the secondary market to visiting fans, we’re now requiring all fans to meet the limits outlined above.

If you’ve traditionally purchased for others, we encourage you to refer them to your Boilermaker Athletics Representative and we can help them get signed up as a member, a timeslot and get you additional bonus JPC priority points for the referral.

*Only eligible for upper preferred seats
