Transferring of season tickets

Yeah, I'd like to know how because I called last year and they said NO.

I'd like to match it but I'll have to make sure I can afford it. I want to maintain what they've done. Family has had the seats since 1981 and I'd like to have them for my family one day

So to my knowledge there isn't a way to bequeath tickets in your will or anything like that. However, season ticket holders have the option to make a ONE TIME change in your account holder name. I know this because we just did it. My uncle started our family's account back in the 70s when he worked for Coca Cola and Coke would match 2 for 1 on us every year. Our points built up considerably but they're old now and probably won't go/contribute/be around much longer. In order to keep all our points in our family for a long time, we changed our account name this year and put it in my 8 year old cousin's name. So I imagine you can do something similar where you keep your grandparent's account and their accumulated points, only it'll now be in your name and your responsibility.

You can. If you have given $1 million dollars over the last 5 years. Otherwise, you are screwed

This. WG, you may have a different set up given the corporate connection that allowed you to exploit some sort of loophole. But they have now made it so that you have to be in the Silver Circle (or something like that) by way of donating $1 million+ to then have the privilege of being able to pass on your points to the next generation.

So, get busy earning and donating or get busy purchasing a comfy couch upon which to watch from home

Keep the account in his name. Transfer all the information (payment, address, login, etc) into your information. They will always be in his name, but you will have complete control. You just wont earn any lifetime donation for yourself or be able to get the tax breaks...

This seems like the most logical means of accomplishing this. It's not like they're ever going to check to see if they are deceased. I have a rental property that was my mother's home and according to the mortgage and property records, it still belongs to her. I simply manage it through the estate. At the end of the day, they don't care where the money comes from; they just want the money to come.

This. You may be able to setup an LLC or something in his name if you wanted to try and make it more concrete. Legalzoom or whatever other online option could probably be used for a couple hundred bucks. I know my family (Clemson) did this to pool together their donations and ensure that all parties had access in the event that one family member were to pass. Not sure how that would be handled from the UGA side, but would be my recommendation.

The LLC option is intriguing. Wonder if you could get a ticketing or development official to answer the plausibility of that off the record

Yea, that's the thing, I know there isn't anything in terms of loyalty to use and that it makes more sense for the school to take our seats back and then get other donors to drop bank on them. Sucks but I get it.

Sadly, or really pretty awesome, my grandparents had some pretty fantastic seats. No way I could afford the donor level at this point in my life. Hell, with the way it's gone up idk if I ever could.
