They’re giving 1,000 points per year of holding season tickets.

Overall, think this is an improvement but seat selection prioritzy should be based on lifetime contribution not annual.

Then we are looking at a scenario where "old money" is all that matters. It would actually create less incentive for younger fans (who are doing financially well and willing to pony up to get better seats) to make solid contributions to the I-Fund (or whatever it will be called). For that reason, I believe you need to start with prioritization to current annual giving and then use lifetime giving as a potential fallback tiebreaker.

My problem with the reseating process is a long-time season ticket holder who has never donated to the IFUND can be leapfrogged by a short-time season ticket holder if the short-time season ticket holder donates at the lowest IFUND level in early 2025.

There is a simple solution for that...especially given how cheap tickets are now.

I am confused why not more season ticket holders donate to the IFUND. The perks of free parking for a $250 donation essentially pays for itself (especially if you have season tickets for both football and basketball).

I'm a football season ticket holder because it's relatively cheap. I'm not local so I make it to a few games and give away the tickets to the games I can't make.

If they increase the price for the same areas AND continue to schedule games on Thursday nights, they will likely drive away a lot of fans who travel for games.

The ERA documentation says consecutive years as season ticket holder

I don't think student season tickets count. I first got football season tickets as a freshmen, and have maintained them ever since, however my priority points only go back to the first year I got season tickets post graduation.
