Decided to bite the bullet. I've got 532 Tide Totals points & am ranked around 4,300 in Tide Pride. Just in the unlikely case they assigned ne to the premium package, I called Tide Pride and told them I didn't want to be considered for that package as its outrageously priced. The other tiers were more reasonably priced. I'm surmising that since I'm always offered championship game tickets I'll be able to qualify for Plan B. Guess I'll have to wait until September 8 to see if I'll get my tickets.
