This is true. We bought 2 club tix back in 2011. Had a couple of kids after that and couldn't add tix around us. So since then we have been buying 4 club tix and reselling our 2 club tix.The current upgrade process even encourages reselling tickets. Say I have 2 tickets in a relatively decent area. I upgrade to 4. The additional 2 aren’t going to be near by current 2. I’m not going to bring my family and split us up, so I resell the new 2. The next year not enough people drop tickets for me to upgrade to getting all 4 together anywhere decent. I resell the newer 2 again. Maybe 4+ years down the line I get lucky and get 4 together where I’m relatively pleased.
I haven’t done this, but I could easily see myself doing it in the future. I get that TCU is trying to be fair, so that big donors aren’t upgrading to 50 seats or something. At the same time, if you adopt 2 kids and need 2 seats, you are out of luck at TCU.
Not unique to TCU. Had the same problem with our tix at Texas and it was even worse there. They wanted us to up our donation for all of the seats rather than just the 2 new seats we were trying to add.
Common problem with no obvious solution.
