Current Volleyball Season Ticket Holders
3 Key Points For Current Season Ticket Holders in Volleyball
-
Badger Select is an optional benefit for current season ticket holders.
Current season ticket holders who do not want to change their current season ticket location, add
additional seats to their account, or purchase season memberships to Bucky’s Balcony do not need to log in to Badger Select.
To order your current season ticket location, the same process as previous years applies, of purchasing your season
tickets and season parking (if applicable) and making your contribution (if applicable) online by May 19th.
Orders not received by this date will be considered late. Late orders are subject to seat relocation.
Season tickets may not be available for purchase following the order deadline.
-
After purchasing your season tickets and making your contribution (if applicable),
you will automatically be assigned a personalized selection date and time during the Badger
Select process, which runs June 26th – 30th, based on Badger Select rank: 2023 Annual Giving
Level and Badger Select priority points as of December 31st, 2017 plus 2018–2023 priority points
accrued from non-deductible donations, and years of purchase for non-donor season ticket holders.
You then can choose to log in during that time, or any time after until the end of the process,
to view available seats at the UW Field House.
Badger Select Rank is first based on 2023 Annual Giving level,
and then by Badger Select priority point total within each giving level as of December 31st,
2017 plus 2018–2023 priority points accrued from non-deductible donations.
-
During the Badger Select process, as a current season ticket holder you have the ability to purchase additional
seats, swap your current seats for other available seats, and purchase season memberships to Bucky’s Balcony.
Importance of Badger Select Rank
Your Badger Select rank will determine your priority in the Badger Select process. The higher your Badger Select rank, the earlier your selection date and time will be in Badger Select which may increase the pool of quality seats to choose from.
Badger Select Rank is based on 2023 Annual Giving Level and Badger Select priority points. Badger Select priority points include: points as of December 31st, 2017 plus 2018–2023 priority points accrued from non–deductible donations. Non–deductible donations include those associated with priority seating and Badger Select seating contributions.
For Badger Select Rank, 100% deductible donations made in 2018–2023 will NOT be allocated towards Badger Select priority points. 100% deductible gifts include those to sport specific funds, endowed scholarships, or capital projects. (Please note Badger Select rank is different from Donor Rank.)

Historical Season Ticket Data
Below, two factors are discussed which impact seat selection: ticket availability and donor rank. Also included are the season ticket seating results from the 2022 season for your review. It is recommended using last season's results only as a guide, as past results cannot predict future results.
Ticket Availability
Ticket availability is determined after the current season ticket-holder ticket sales process has completed (May 19th). The quantity and location of unsold tickets determines the inventory available for seat improvement as well as new / additional season ticket requests. Ticket availability for volleyball does fluctuate from season to season. However, as evidenced by the chart below, season ticket sales rates for volleyball are consistently strong.
Season Ticket Retention Percentages
2022 Season Ticket Seating Results
2022 was a unique season ticket order period in that current volleyball season ticket holders affected by seating enhancements in courtside sections D, E, F, G and H were given priority (over general requests) in the seating process. Seating enhancements in courtside sections E, F and G (Gold price level) included chairback seating. The quantity of seats available through attrition at the Gold price level in 2023 is expected to be significantly less than the quantity of seats available through attrition at the Gold price level in 2022. The table below shows the 2022 annual giving level and priority point thresholds needed for seat improvement or new season tickets amongst general requests. We recommend using last season's results only as a guide, as past results cannot predict future results, especially given the new seat selection process.
