These links should give you the info you are looking for. The "donation amount" is the fee Tide Pride members give the University each year per seat. Better seats=higher donation but you are able to rack up Tide Pride points a bit faster. For each $100 donation you get 1 Tide Pride point. It took 500 points to be able to order BCS tickets which translates to $50,000 in contributions over the years. There's a long waiting list to be a Tide Pride member and you can either give a sizable donation or add your name to the list and wait.

There's one way around this waiting list if you're looking to buy post season football tickets. You can become a Tide Pride member of other sports (baseball, basketball, etc) and rack up Tide Pride points thus enabling those with enough points the ability to purchase SEC, BCS, or other bowl games without actually being able to purchase football season tickets.

Pretty positive you have to be a football season ticket holder to get post-season and away tickets for football, no matter how many points you have accumulated in other ways.

You can now donate to the Crimson Tide Foundation and get 3 points for every $100. Building up points without the ability to buy tickets benefits you by giving you a higher tide totals amount when you actually get to buy season tickets, thus jumping ahead of others in the line to buy post-season/away game tickets. But if you want to get ahead on the waiting list to buy season tickets, be prepared to fork over a nice chunk of change in one lump sum. Money talks.

Good Luck!
