National Championship Tickets

So that’s what was said…. But I know a few people who donated $100 and they did NOT get link this morning. Might’ve got okey doked lol
I got an email from the HC and they hooked me up with my link! Nice!

And I think I know what happened. My HC membership was created like 20 or so years ago using my old email address (which forwards to my gmail account). I bet it went to the Spam for that email (which I don't know how to check anymore).

I'll have to update my email address on my account! HA!

If you go to the Priority ranks for the HC , which showed a little more than 10K people total, would it just be those 10K people vying for the tickets?


It should be, though there MIGHT be a small pool of Season Ticket Holders who have never made a HC contribution.

I do know that my rank has slipped a bit this month, as the total pool has gotten larger. The simple explanation is that people who were previously ahead of me in 2025 or 2024 finally renewed for 2026. Either that, or someone(s) made a big contribution.

When I first requested tickets at the beginning of December, I was in the 200s, now I'm in the 300s.

Also, keep in mind...UM goes FIRST by level, THEN by ranking. Radakovich reset the points system shortly after he was hired, though he reinstated the "lifetime giving" points a year later.

So, there could be 500 people in levels HIGHER than my level, but maybe 160 of them have only recently started to make contributions, thus my donations from the 1990s-forward give me more points, even if they are in a higher level than I am. Eventually, my rank will start to decline if enough people join Golden Canes for a few years, and quickly earn more points than what I have built up over the years.

For those that have gotten their email and yes at the time I am writing this I know it's not on sale for another hour and 15 minutes, but have you been able to click the link, enter your password that they gave you in the email and at least see the page saying it's too early or whatever else or are you getting an invalid password message. Would love somebody else to check because I think these idiots maybe gave me my password all in lowercase but when you put it into the form that I'm using it's forcing it all capitals so if it's case sensitive and it's not just that the page isn't live to even enter a password yet, I know I'm screwed as I know there's no way to get through to that ticket office ahead of time.

They had some initial problems if you clicked from your e-mail. Mine didn't have the initial offer (CFP4?) typed in, it only had the password screen.

I re-clicked from the original e-mail, and then it came up correctly. I'm logged in now.

I had to try the password a few times before it got me to the next page where it has the timer

The link and password worked for me.

How did you get to that screen... My Hurricane Club Priority Points screen only shows my points and not my rank

Is this the total amount of HC donors (10247) or just the number of donors in your particular tier/level and your associated rank within that level?

Of course, you got your tickets when they sent the email in December, right?
It blows my mind that there were season ticket holders that didn't request Natty tickets. Made no sense. The game is at home. Payment doesn't come out until tickets are confirmed AND we had to make it that far. There was no downside.
