From AJC on that topic:

quote:

The success of UGA football’s Young Alumni Program, which took frequently unused seats away from the student body’s ticket allotment and made them available to recent graduates, ought to send a loud and clear message to the undergrads:

Show up for games, or there might be even fewer student tickets sold in the future.

The young alums program, instituted for the coming football season, offered those who graduated from the University of Georgia within the past five years (May 1, 2008-May 31, 2013) the opportunity to request renewable season tickets for football without having to make the usual required donation.

The 2,000 tickets in question, previously part of the 16,000 allotted to students, are those in the northeast upper level of Sanford Stadium, where UGA averaged about 6,000 empty seats last year. That was especially embarrassing to the university on television.

McGarity added: “We only have 2,000 available this first year, but who’s not to say that if students’ attendance continues to decline that we may up that number in the future.”

8 years ago students went to the games, drank too much, and cheered loudly. Now they play COD and read Twilight in their dorms

Assholes never sent me anything. Granted, I should have graduated in 2002, but since I didn't until 2011, I was able to call and get my name on the list for the application. Woohoo!

Back in '79 when I graduated it was automatic that your donation(only $50 a year back then)was waived for two years & you got point credit for the 2 year donation($100) as long as you continued buying renewable season tickets...

They hooked me back then & I've had 'em ever since.

They also had non-renewable season tix back then (no contribution) but you never knew what you'd get & they were generally shitty seats...

What a great idea, wish we had this. Unfortunately for me I'll probably be dead when my season tickets come in.

That's not it, it's that they stay at the tailgates getting drunk during kickoff, and then leave early from the game to keep the party going.

Or they're laying face down in a quad somewhere.

Or that....not sure why it's so hard to get shitfaced and stay for the entire game.

The only play I remember from the 09 ASU game was the last one. My head was in my lap most of the rest of the game.

That was the game I decided I need to quit drinking liquor before games.

I had to hold a kid up for most of the '06 UT night game. He had it right, though. I wish I didn't remember any of that one past the first half, either.
