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.
