I've been dealing with this shite for 5 years and I still don't have a clue how it works.
I donate $100 to TAF every year and pay $10 to get on the waiting list.
I hear that's the best way to do it for the long run.
Hugo this is the exact same boat I'm in. I graduated in 2007 and have donated $100 every year, just trying to get an idea of how the system works.
Also I'm assuming your ranking applies to getting tix for all sports (football, baseball, etc.)

I think it's just for football.
The $10 for the waiting list is a must and well worth it.
I've gotten tickets to at least five home games every year and access to purchase some away game tickets through the waiting list.

TAF lifetime donation points are utilized for the distribution of new tickets. your $100.00 per year donation nets you 0.1 pts + 3 bonus points.
For instance, if you donate every year for 5 years at 100.00, you will have earned 15.5 points.
Season tickets are distributed on priority basis. As you can imagine, not many tickets ever come up for sale - with reneway rates often over 95%. In the past few years, you needed to have a priority number in the 3-4000 range to get tickes(i think).
You can always call TAF and ask how much money to donate in order to get to the point where you SHOULD get a ticket or tickets. The best time to call is late March, since the cutoff is March 31.
In 2014, there will be many tickets availible with the opening of the south end zone expansion, so you have 13 months to get your priority total where it needs to be.

An ok sideline seat TAF donation for existing season ticket holders costs ~ $900-$1000 each year to maintain the rights to buy their seats. That's why folks get so pissy about all the scrub games, because ~2/3 of the cost for each of the games is on TAF/tradition fees, and the ticket itself only costs ~<1/3 of the amount such season ticket holders dole out each year. So if we play McNeese or ULL or UAB, the real cost for a ticket to such a game for a season ticket holder is $150+...Yet, if you seek to sell it, good luck getting face value.
