Seat selection depends on your priority ranking in the Hokie Club supposedly. Some time around the end of April or beginning of May they start the clock for people to select seats. It goes in order from the highest seniority to the lowest. That said, they don't let people bump lower priority members to take their seats, they just get their selection of available seats. I think since the online selection, I have changed seats once to go from XX to SS.
I haven't seen any details on any increases and to be honest, I am already irked that basically everything from inside the 30 yard to 30 yard appears to require a seat premium upgrade on the West side. I am already paying for my tickets plus a 2000 golden hokie membership. I don't want to pay an additional $1,000 per seat premium for good seats on the West side or the South side.
My wife and I are West Outdoor Club ticket holders. It is a little on the expensive side and calculate that the $2,000 per seat donation to the Hokie Club is somewhat of a surcharge. However, I still work, make good cake, kids are gone, live close enough to attend games and our seats are awesome. I did not attend VT so this is my way of being part of a great group of supporters I missed while being a "commuter" student in Florida. I think sell outs will quell the surcharge rumor. If there are additional costs added to our nearly $5,000 donation, we be gone!!

I watched this so many times, I love Seth Allen.
Chelsea at Stamford Bridge has a great atmosphere.
I think the article may have said more but I stopped reading when the got to this nugget.
Poor atmosphere is an Arsenal thing, I've been to a few games at Highbury (their old ground, which is near the Emirates and you should go check out if you get a chance as two sides are declared historic buildings and thus can't be torn down). My brother's an Arsenal fan and continually laments the library-like feel of the place (actually, he's never been inside the Emirates but I think it's even worse with 20,000 gooners than before).
Best atmosphere in London is probably Crystal Palace in south London-should be easy to get a seat the rest of this season as their survival in the EPL is basically assured, think they have two home games left.

# | Hokies' Open Practice Reveals Rapid Pace, Injuries and A Glimpse at the Future The problem with that is they like to get down with no delay, which is an awful practice for running backs. I prefer my backs remain upright, ideally in an endzone.
Oh, well I could be wrong about that, then. I think I may have just assumed that the "seat donation" counted towards Hokie Club level.

# | Hokies' Open Practice Reveals Rapid Pace, Injuries and A Glimpse at the Future I think we can make this official. Someone tweet it.
The donation part does affect your level.
Does it? Every time I go to donate online, the seat donation and the HC donation are separate entries in the form. It never lets me select a HC level above the amount in the HC donation box. I get points for everything, but my level seems to be directly limited by "total - seats".
I.e. my $1000 donation for my two club seats plus $2000 in HC donations only qualifies me for the $2000 donation level (for the case of this example, let's assume there's a difference in level between $2000 and $3000).
Yea there are actually season ticket holders from the 60's and 70's with prime seats who are not part of HC.
This is great and all, but I somehow feel that UVA fans might actually start referring to their "games" this way.
I thought this comment was just a sarcastic jab at uva culture. Then I read the article
No, you don't. I think there was a period of a few years where you had to be a HC member to become a new season ticket holder, but that stopped being the case a couple years ago when we stopped selling out every game. Even during that time, non-HC members who had season tickets were able to renew without joining. I've had season tickets (technically my brother-in-law has them) since about '02 and none of us have ever joined the Hokie Club.
Well if we're going to go down this road...
I think you're right.
Actually as it was explained to me the surcharge or premium for a ticket in the good part of the west side or the south side is NOT tax deductible. It was explained to me that it is a extra fee and not considered a donation. Hence my irritation at being asked to fork over golden hokie money, and then a lot of additional money again for four seats.
