The point thresholds are established targets for students to strive towards The baseline threshold was created so that a student attending every game during the academic calendar would qualify for priority seating without having to do anything additional (check-ins, punctuality, social media etc.) Students who miss a game or two could still qualify for priority seating if they utilize social media to promote Wisconsin Basketball and are punctual with their attendance
Students will be able to sign in to their leaderboard account online and track their rewards points progress and everything associated with the attendance rewards program. Visit uwbadgersrewards.com for complete details
Students will receive e-mails leading up to each of the seven home games which have priority seating. Students will be notified if they are in the priority seating group or the non-priority seating group.
