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.)

As you consider taking part in Badger Select, for either additional season tickets or a seat change, please note the recommended minimum annual contributions for the opportunity to order seats in certain sections:
Gold Price Level – Sections E, F and G: $250 per seat
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 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 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.
