Question on the priority points... I need to contact someone to confirm mine are correct. I've been a season ticket holder (6 tickets) since about 2006, but had to switch to 4 a few years ago and I think I messed up my account when I did that. My history only goes back to 2021. I know their priority point system only goes back to 2010 per their website. Would the ticket office be able to confirm, or is that a question for the Bobcat Club?
Yep as mentioned by others contact Bobcat Club. I do know that for some people they have been able to "merge" two different accounts that were inadvertently used by the same person into one for priority points.

Contact the Bobcat club. E-mail - bobcatclub@msubobcats.com

The ticket office isn't going to know your priority points or your overall score.
I just got my PP# from the ticket office.

BTO did say BC would be the point of contact.

202 here. The extra Cat/gris tix were sold out long before they got to my place in line.

Not hopeful for natty tix.

The breakdown should be in our alumni account profiles, but I couldn’t find it.

There is a breakdown on how it works:

Just curious, but did you drop significantly in this years points rankings? I guess giving to the IPF had a big impact.

Thanks. Sent an email earlier. I never paid much attention to it, but now that more things are being geared toward the priority points, figured it was a good time to ensure I have credit for more than just the past two years.

No significant change, actually a bit lower number this year.

Dear Season Ticket Holder,

Thank you for your continued support of the Bobcats as a season ticket holder and as a member of the Bobcat Club Annual Scholarship Fund. We are working on gathering all the data for the priority point rankings. We will get that information out to you all next week.

With the 2024 football regular season coming to an end, the Bobcats are in consideration for the FCS Playoffs. As we did last year, you will have the opportunity to request your playoff seats before the conclusion of the season. Starting Tuesday, November 12, at 10am, you can reserve your seats and only be charged for the games in which Montana State hosts. You will also have the opportunity to request tickets for the National Championship game in Frisco, Texas. For more information and for ticket office hours, please visit this site.

National Championship game requests will be filled in order of priority point ranking. Therefore, a request does not guarantee tickets. You will be notified the week of the semifinals if your order is successfully filled. The deadline to request tickets for the FCS championship will be Wednesday, December 18, at 11pm

Potential road game playoff tickets will be made available once the matchup is set. Priority points will be used to determine ticket distribution.
If I had only waited a couple more minutes to ask. Thanks. I did get that email.
I did NOT receive said email.

Has anyone received their priority points info?


And no one has called about parking either. :)
I just got an email with where I sit in the rankings. Check your inboxes.
Got mine too. Still in the 300's which should get me 4 tickets to Frisco I hope!

I pledged $2,000 to the IPF and nothing else changed, but I went from 358 to 386?

Yeah, I mentioned this earlier. I pledged a nice donation to the indoor, purchased two more season tickets for a total of 6, my monthly donation to the collective is now counted, and my ranking still dropped. I'm guessing some of those big donations to the indoor must have lowered the rankings.

Totally random this morning… but my son just reminded me about this. Has anyone else noticed throughout the season that the band often plays while we are in the huddle and lined up on offense? It has been bothersome to me all year, and then I actually noticed against Sac that Tommy twice gave a demonstrative “silence” hand gesture to the band. I understand that the conductor can’t see the field, but shouldn’t there be a member of the band that gives the ok or not for the band to play? I appreciate what the band brings to the game, but it is very frustrating when they are working against us while we are on offense.

Haha. What a season. Can’t rip the coordinators or Vigen. So, let’s chat about when the band plays. :D

Some have mentioned that even after generous pledges, their priority point ranking has gone down. We have never paid our donations in installments, so I don’t know how it works, but I assume priority point credit is not given until the pledge is paid in its entirety. Anyone know?

I can change my BN name to ‘Griping Guy’ if required after this post and love the band, but observed the same including Tommy’s gesture during last game. There are some times the band isn’t helping the offense but agree - nice to complain about something dumb like this.


Never argue with an idiot. They bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Yep, I saw that too... and at first I was thinking he was telling the crowd to shut up but yes it did look like he was telling the band to shut up. If a player of Tommy's intelligence is doing that, it tells me it's a real thing. Somebody needs to get that corrected, like right now - before Cat Griz and playoff run.


Great time to be a BOBCAT!

Could’ve the cats gotten bumped to #1 if they would’ve kept scoring and kept Davis at 8? Seems like beating the #4 ranked team by 4+ touchdowns in their place could’ve got the cats enough votes. Curious about other opinions.

No, because NDSU played an opponent that was 8-2 and ranked #14 in the coaches poll and beat them by 38 points. They were dominant and there would be no reason for anyone who had them at #1 to drop them down.

No matter how much the Cats might have won by, the only scenario where NDSU would drop down is if they took a loss—fair or otherwise.

Stan Becton switched us around on his ballot. I'd guess several others will have as well. I net we go from 14 first place votes to 20+. Not enough to jump to #1 though.

Edit: I was wrong, Stan's was the only 1st place vote we gained :lol:
