TAMU has per seat donations. So you pay your season ticket price and depending on where you want to sit you pay that donation.

This is for 2012. Not sure how they'll do it once we have the new stadium.

it's usually cheaper to buy season tickets on stubhub or something.


Man I don't know. I have four lowers at Alabama and I sold two of them on Stubhub before the season two years ago (was paying for a wedding the following spring ). I made enough money to cover the costs of all four of my tickets.

Hey bud. I hate to break it to you but we are talking moving forward with the stadium expansion. Re-read the post a little less high. The pretty picture of the stadium is out of date my friend as of, well, now.

Also, did you know the playing field will be lowered 7 feet and moved 18 feet to the South, and kiss G Rollie goodbye. It's outta here.

So, to clarify for my high Aggie buddies, I am talking about in the future, and it may be as soon as this coming season. You should donate to the 12th Man Foundation and buy season tickets. You get lots of info.

I think he's trying to say that in order to get season tickets, you pay $5000 initially. After that there's a much smaller yearly donation. That's how it is at Alabama at least.


Is this new? I got on the waiting list in 2006 and finally got 2 tickets after the expansion in 2010. I never paid an entry fee (certainly not 5 grand) and I only pay my donation level per year (the lowest - 160 I think). For two tickets, I pay a total of about a thousand a year. That's for the cheapest level, of course.

The way to buy season tickets is to find someone who has a block of them but is downsizing so he has seats for sale. That way you circumvent the huge donation and get pretty good seats at what they paid per seat. Did this last year and paid 280 a seat for two seats.

USC:

PSL's are through the YES program and range from $50-$1,500 per seat. (All of that depends of coarse on location.)

The benefits are:
You can ensure your reserved seats every year or ask for improvement. (Although, we could do that before.)
It raises more money for the athletic office, yep, that's the main one.


This is an old ebrochure, but the prices were the same for 2012.

Auburn-
everyone who purchases season tickets must make a minimum annual contribution. The mandatory contributions range from $235-$750, depending on seat location. This contribution is in addition to the actual cost of the tickets. This is for "regular" seats and all but the $235 seats are sold out and have a waiting list. The next step up from this basic season ticket purchase is being a Scholarship Donor and that requires a donation of $5200 for 2 seats and $10,400 for 4 seats. However, that donation does include the cost of tickets, a parking pass, free food & drinks, along with additional priority when it comes to ordering away game tickets, etc. These seats are located on the club level, BUT there are more scholarship donors than seats in club so there's also a waiting list to move from the "regular" seats into club level seats.

ETA: At Auburn you also lose your built up donation priority if you stop giving for one year and get reset to zero.

True, but I'm talking about the initial donation to even get enough priority to get the opportunity, plus the season donation, plus the tickets.

Maybe that's was somehow the case, but that was also Alabama coming off a title with high hopes. For most other schools with slightly less demand, I think you'd be better off buying a season package from a third party. Better yet, I'd just buy tickets to the 2-3 decent games and get the scrub teams for 20 bucks outside the stadium.

What a DB. I've been a season ticket holder since 1995. I'm well aware of how the Priority Points Sytem works--apparently, you are not. They aren't abandoning the Priority Points System--they use it everywhere, even at Olsen after the renovation.

fish, you either misunderstood your father or he is not understanding the rumor being told to him. Nothing has been announced or even hinted to by Texas A&M to season ticket holders. I have 6 seats on the west side and pay a $500 per seat fee(donation)to have the privilege of paying for the season ticket for that seat. With the stadium changes, I think most season ticket holders are aware that this fee will go up anywhere from 5 to 20%. You should not be so quick to talk trash, some of us are the same age as your dad and are just trying to help you be better informed.

Hey Old Sarge. I've been out of college 20 years myself. At this point it is pure speculation what will happen, as you are well aware is the reason behind the questionnaire recently sent out to season ticket holders. Here is a hint. The questionnaire was a hint of things to come. I'm sure you received one as well. Both he and I misunderstood his LSU buddy and had no idea the SEC trend, hence the reason for the post.

It's funny you call my postings trash talk. You, my fellow Aggie, don't know trash talk if that is your impression of trash talk. We'll find out soon enough what the 'donation' or fees will be, for a start.

LSU Tradition Fund prices per seat in addition to ticket price. This does not inlude priority points it takes to qualify for a specific ticket section...

Kentucky football: about 20% of seats (not counting student, band and visitor sections) are public season tickets - no donation required, just first come / first serve. These are all upper deck, mostly upper-half of the upper deck and upper deck corners.

The rest of the season tickets in Commonwealth Stadium (everything in the lower deck, under the overhang, and lower part of upper deck) is K-Fund seating. Per ticket donation ranges from $100 per seat (most endzone seating and corners) to $525 per seat (between the 35's under the overhang) Of course you need higher K-Fund point totals to have access.

Rupp Arena donation levels run from $450 to $5,000 per seat. There's actually quite a bit of no-donation seating (much of the upper deck) in Rupp, but very few of those seats (or the lowers with donations) come open. You either have to be picked in a lottery or make a large one time donation to get them (then the annual donation).

In 2001 a pair of Endowment Seats (courtside) went for around $300,000 (one time donation.) Today I think they're in the $500,000+ range.
