Someone explain it to me like I'm five. How does getting on the season ticket list work? I know it involves blindly donating to the Volunteer Fund, but what's after that?How much gets you access to season tix? How much does not? Is it a moving target? Do you know where you stand once you donate? All I see is that there is "15,000-20,000 people on the season ticket waiting list." Where are these people?

Let's say hypothetically, if one were to donate $10K to the university, is that enough skin in the game to snag season tickets?

Follow up: once you have season tickets, are you bound to a certain "donation" each year to keep them?

I'll hang up and listen.

If you have unlimited money call and find out how to buy your way to top of list.

For all others google and you come to the page that shows your yearly contribution for your desired seat after you wait to get to top of list

Thank you. Still a bit fuzzy to me. Are you saying anyone can get on the list without making a contribution initially? And if so, you have to wait until your time is up and then decide how much you want to contribute?

Using the example, what if somebody had a $10,000 contribution, or 5000, or 1000, upfront etc. Does that essentially buy your way up the list based on how much you give? Or does everyone wait the same amount of time depending where you are on the list and then contribute once your name is selected?

I have heard if you have big money you can buy your way to top but doubt it is 10,000.

Every season ticket requires an annual non tax deductible contribution every year to retain the right to buy your season ticket. Your required yearly contribution amount is determined by what seat you want.

If you don’t buy your way to the top of the list with an insane amount of money, you wait in line.

You get on waiting list without any up front investment, The annual contributions are only required once you start buying tickets.

I just called the ticket office and bought them. I don’t make any separate donation, it is built into the season ticket price, at least for me. I pay about $1400 total a year for 2 season tickets.

You called recently?

I thought there was a waiting list?
One can buy through a second party vender. Usually, if you call the ticket office at this time of year, you are transferred to the third party organization and pay a premium for the tickets. My tickets have been I the family for 93. If we decide not to renew them, they go back into the pot to be sold to the people on the waiting list with the highest donation points.

I have season tickets too I was just confused by the comment that said just call ticket office and bought tickets. Wasn’t sure if they were saying single game or season tickets and didn’t understand how you could call and get ahead of those on waitlist.

I was told most of the wait-list was for the higher end tickets. People want the terrace, lower club and such. I think some regular tickets in the upper deck and end zones are available each year.

Edit: some people pass on the tickets because they want better seats, they just move on to the next.

I had wondered if you were better off to take a few classes online there get the student discount price. I never checked into it was just curious if it would work and be cheaper. But calling ad dept and or (scalpers) outside the game , which I’ve done a lot.

We've had season tix since '54 (Grandparents graduated then) and it's the same for us. Grandma is still kicking at the ripe old age of 95, thank the Lord
