Cyclone Club Frequently Asked Questions
In what order are Cyclone Club benefits assigned?
Donor benefits for priority seating and parking are assigned in the order of (1) highest annual giving level and (2) individual donor rank––based upon priority point totals––within that giving level.
When do I need to make my Cyclone Club contribution for priority seating and or parking?
To receive 2019 football and 2019-20 basketball priority seating and parking privileges, a Cyclone Club pledge must be made and received by our office prior to March 29, 2019. Priority points are accumulated when membership dollars are received by the Cyclone Club, not when the original pledge is received. Payment plans are available to help spread payments throughout the year, however all donations must be paid in full by December 31, 2019.
I am interested in moving my season tickets, how do I do so?
For football – each season ticket holder will receive an appointment date and time in May to log into their account to select their seats. Should you wish to keep your seats the exact same as the previous year, there is nothing further you need to do. Should you wish to move your seats, you must log into the system during your date and time (or anytime thereafter) and find & select the available seats you wish to move into. When selecting new seats, please be sure to select seats in the seating area that fulfills the minimum donation requirements needed for that section. If any additional donation is needed regarding the upgrade, the ticket holder will be contacted by the ticket office.
For basketball - the ISU Athletics Ticket Office places every seating request in order by donor level and then priority points within that level. You must request a seating request during your season ticket renewal in July. It’s important to note the ticket office defines an upgrade as lower and closer to mid-court unless specific directives are given by the ticket holder. If clarification or additional information is needed regarding the request, the ticket holder will be contacted by the ticket office.
How do I request my football season tickets and/or parking stall to be near friends?
Donors wishing to sit in the same section or park in the same lot as friends must wait to select their respective seating & parking at the lowest donation level and/or priority point total of each member of the group. Because football seating & parking is all in the power of the fans for selection – we no longer take these types of requests in advance of the selection process. Parking assignments are not guaranteed from year to year.
What happens if I do not fulfill my pledge to the Cyclone Club?
A donor, who does not fulfill a pledge, may not make a pledge for the following year until the unsatisfied pledge is paid. If a donor’s account is not reconciled by the end of the calendar year, that donor will be considered an inactive club member.
Are priority points earned for donations to ISU departments or units outside of athletics?
No, donations to units or colleges outside of athletics are not counted for priority points in the Cyclone Club. If you have a question about receiving priority points for a specific giving idea, contact the Cyclone Club for a clarification.
I am a $2,500 annual donor who has been in the Cyclone Club for 10 years. I want to move my seats. My friend is at the $5,000 level and joined two years ago. She is purchasing season tickets for the first time. Who would have their ticket request reviewed first?
The $5,000 donor would have his/her ticket request reviewed first because his/her annual giving category is higher.
Is my membership in the Cyclone Club tax deductible?
Under the latest tax legislation, if you make a contribution for the benefit of the University and then receive (directly or indirectly) benefits, including the right to purchase tickets for seating at an athletics event – these gifts are no longer tax deductible. Please consult your tax advisor for more information on these recent changes.
