Has anyone looked into this? Me and a few buddies heard about the deal while we were students in 2019. Covid happened in 2020 so obviously that didn’t work out for us, but we signed up this year. After talking to another buddy it doesn’t seem like the deals are great compared to what they were in 2019. I believe most games in 2019 were like 40-50 bucks a game.

This year the only games near that are the non conference.

Really only looks like the away game tickets are remotely decently priced and most likely because of where we would be sitting.

100 plus for upper deck tickets for some crappy conference games seems like it really isn’t much of a deal. Sounds like this program kinda sucks.

The way it was originally described to me a couple years ago was that you could basically get season tickets for $200-$250 and that all the seats were below the band, it looks like I was either told wrong info or they changed it.

Would never pay that much for UD. Except outside of bama, maybe FLA.

Would rather watch on TV than sit that high.

Amen!! I only go to games in person if I have guaranteed seats that would be better than on tv. It's hard to beat no crowds, private bathroom and kitchen, and a beautiful, huge hi-def tv with a comfortable chair.

After my son and I went to the Kentucky game in 2007 where we were in the corner of the end zone halfway up, we vowed to never go to another game without seats between the 25 yard lines, about one third of the way up. It just isn't better than at home without that.

Different strokes for different folks I suppose but I love sitting on the home side corners. Pretty good angle of the field and in the shade usually.

Ofcourse between the 25’s are better though

Program had so much promise from what I was explained. Woulda Been good to sink in some people for 5 years after graduation and get them accustom to going to games in their after college days and be more willing to pay the season ticket prices after that when they were more established in their careers.

Seems that was lost on the ticket office.

yeah I’ll take the end zones over between the 20s all day. I like the view from the end zone and the people who sit between the 20s are the old farts who get mad if you stand

Is this still in effect? Can I still get discounted tickets as a recent grad?

I took advantage of this program after graduating in 2014 for all 5 years. It was extremely worth the $50 TAF fee if you attend away games and postseason. The only game I recall not getting lower bowl for was Knoxville. It's also convenient for Regionals/Super Regionals. I'm not sure what all has changed since then but when it was first implemented, it was a steal.

ETA: I did not use this program for home football games that I can recall but know friends who got North Endzone tickets at face value.

It was a really great deal. They changed it this year for some reason. There’s basically no advantage to it other than away game tickets.
