In an effort to “recognize the longtime supporters of UCLA athletics,” the university has developed a point system plan for fans to select future seats in what will be the renovated Pauley Pavilion, which is set to open for the 2012-13 season, an Associated Press report states. Alumni, longtime season ticket holders and donors will be the main beneficiaries of the project.
The ranking system will allow the 125 people with the most points to pick their seats first. Courtside seats will require a $500,000 donation, payable over five years, plus a $17,000 yearly donation per seat to the Wooden Athletic Fund. A $30,000 donation gets you as many as four seats in the lower part of the arena.
The renovation will cost $185 million and force the Bruins to play their 2011-12 home games elsewhere.
