Re: 2018 Iptay Parking: I'm at 73 points in the Champion Level

($800 to $1599). My 1st year in Iptay, 1992, was a one year complimentary membership for new grads and i haven't missed a year since. I still have the free navy blue duffel bag they gave with that complimentary membership.
Parking is drastically changing every year for my giving level. Lots come, lots go, Iptay changes the giving requirement as they see fit for each particular lot. I was assigned a numbered space at Byrnes Hall for 2017. It wasn't bad. Now, CUAD shows you have to be at Tiger level or higher for Byrnes Hall.
In years past lots 13 and 14 were not really spoken fondly of as highly desired lots but now in current terms, having a parking spot in lot 13 or lot 14 year in & year out would sure seem to be terrific.
I've been looking at the 2018 parking application for a week now. Iptay will not give my any data or specific info. as to how my 73 points would rank within my Champion giving level. I really have not much of an idea other than to say i doubt it's in the top or bottom 20% for Champion.
Does anybody have any inside info. or thoughts of if there has ever been such a ranking be known by Iptay?

IPTAY doesn't just change the giving requirement "as they see fit", the giving requirement changes based on supply and demand.

There are more and more IPTAY members every year. They have now maxed out season ticket sales (season tickets are sold out), but they continue to lose parking on and around campus, which increases demand for some of the formerly less desirable lots. That in turn pushes lower donors to farther lots. The only thing they have to base the giving requirements off of are previous years, until all the requests are in.

As far as how your 73 points would rank you in the Champion giving level, I have no idea. That said, it's not going to really help you but so much. Their estimates of what level you need to be at for certain lots are pretty accurate.

You can always write in the notes in your ticket request that you would really like to be in the Byrnes Hall lot (or whichever lot you desire) if at all possible (even if you didn't donate enough and it's not actually an option in your drop down list). There's always a chance that there will still be a few spots available by the time they get to Champion donors and with you being a long time member, and a decent amount of points for Champion Level, there is always a small chance you may get assigned one of those remaining spots. The worst they can do is say no.
