Priority Points
The Pirate Club Priority Points System rewards loyalty, recognizes giving and helps determine rankings for select ticketing, parking and seating opportunities.
In an effort to equitably serve Pirate Club members, the Priority Points System was developed and implemented in 1993 by the Executive Committee of the ECU Educational Foundation, Inc. The system determines ranking for season ticket allocation, high-demand events, postseason tickets, priority parking and seating upgrade requests.
How Priority Points Are Used
Ticket Allocation
Used for high-demand games, away games, postseason tournaments, championships and bowl games.
Parking Priority
Helps determine priority parking assignments based on annual giving and priority point ranking.
Seating Requests
Used when reviewing select seating assignments and upgrade requests.
