Villanova AD Defends Price Point Changes For Men's Hoops At Renovated Pavilion

Villanova men's basketball season-ticket holders in September are "going to find out what the new price points are going to be" as the Pavilion undergoes a "major renovation" ahead of the '18-19 season, according to Dick Jerardi of PHILLY.com. Villanova AD Mark Jackson said, "The only folks we’ve talked to about seats in the new pavilion have been those 20 to 25 folks that have given seven figures-plus to the project." He "explained that courtside seats will require a 'one-and-done capital gift.'” Jackson added that the required gift "could be" in the $50,000 range. Jackson: "It’s going to be a very transparent priority point system that we’ve never had before that will recognize how long you’ve been a season-ticket holder, how much you’ve given to the university, whether you’re an alum. There’s all kinds of different qualifications for that. That’s what’s going to be rolled out over the next couple of months, but to say that we’re strong-arming people into that ($50,000) price point range in order to secure seats, that’s not accurate.” He conceded there will be “some higher priced inventory that’s never been there before." Meanwhile, the renovated building will "still have around 6,500 seats, but the look and feel of the place will be undergoing a dramatic upgrade" (PHILLY.com, 7/26).
