Donating to TAF(Best way to maximize points)

Donate $100 a year to the gold fund and then when you can, donate more. There's not much difference in a $300 donation to $100. The next cut-off is $5000.

Donate $110 per year, minimum. The extra $10 give you a tiny bump over the people that are just giving $100 per year.

When you start making more money, try to give $5000 one year and that will give you a big bump.

Here's the TRUE answer:

1. Make a $100 donation TODAY --- specify that it is for 2011 membership.

2. After January 1, 2012 make a second $100 donation and specify that it is for 2012 membership.

3. Make the additional $100 donation to a TAF fundraiser that pays 2 pts/$1000 donatated ---- do so before 3/31/2012 to get credit in the 2012 season ticket selection.

If you have not donated anything to this point -- I would not recommend signing up for the waiting list --- you'll be pissing away $10 --- but you can do that too --- sign up for the season ticket waiting list and pay $10 per year to be on the list. IF there are away games that they do not sell out the full allotment to season ticket holders you may have the opportunity to purchase tickets prior to sales to the general public.

I got that opportunity for the UNC game to open last season and bought 4 through LSU in advance.... good seats too. But none were available for the Oregon game this season .... it depends on season ticket holder requests.

Either donate $100 or $5,000.

With $100 you get 0.1 points + 3 bonus points.

With $5,000 you get 5 points + 3 bonus points + 7 bonus points.


Anything in between just gets you 1 point per $1000. There are no other bonus levels.


ETA: this is how it was when I started donating a few years ago. I donated $100 the summer after Katrina and got 4 tickets in the West Uppers that year with 3.1 points. The list is longer now though.
