Yep, break it off into tiers based off of your previous years ignited points.
Still leaves FR behind everyone else and doesn't fix the "Freshmen don't have tickets!" issue that really isn't a big deal
Additionally, doesn't make sense why pepole should be punished for not liking other sports. While it would have benefitted me, Auburn football <> Other AU Sports

I don't care about what year you are and getting tickets. But I think it may marginally help because you will have tickets available for freshman that otherwise gone to reselling foreigners.

You are looking at it the wrong way. You aren't punishing people for not liking other sports, you are rewarding students who support the other sports teams. Similar to how block seating used to be.

No I don't like anybody buying student tickets just to resell them.
The fact that they don't know about football only proves the purely monetary motivation for buying the tickets. There are people who know about football but resell all of their tickets. They are equally shitty in my eyes.
The school makes the tickets cheaper to make it more affordable for students to attend games. Do they have the right to resell the tickets? Yeah but it's still a pretty shitty thing to do.
Let's say you just ate but you see there's one slice of pizza left. So you buy it for the regular price with no intention of eating it and resell it for 3x that to someone who was about to buy it from the pizza place. You're telling me you wouldn't see that as a shitty move?

Except people will figure it out. Go to the game, swipe their card, maybe stay for 5 seconds and leave. Plus they already reward students for going to support other sports teams.
Just leave it the way it was and everything's fine.

If a kid only likes football, making priority would mean going to sports they don't want to go to. That's effectively punishing them for their lack of interest in other sports.
As much as people hate to admit it, if they want to fix this the solution is jacking up student tickrt pricing. The subsidy is what is fricking up the utility curve
