You forgot the 3 points for giving at least $100, it is added to the other points for a total of 20 points each year giving $5000, or 35 points for each year giving $10000.
If he has no points right now he would almost certainly have to give at least $10000, but it would be better to give $5k now and $5k at the beginning of next year for 40 points.
Even that would be borderline for 4 tickets in the lower bowl I think. 4 in the upper deck or 2 in the lower bowl shouldn't be a problem at that level.
exactly

That said, if you do the math on that vs what you'd spend buying tix on the open market, it's going to take 5-10 years to break even.
1. It's not like it's a car that I'm going to get rid of in a few years. I'm 36 and hopefully will be attending games for at least the next 40 years.
2. I'd rather give my money to the university than some scalper charging a premium for tickets.
3. I get a tax deduction for my donations and I believe I can deduct a portion of the Tradition Fund.
4. When I die I can pass my priority points on to my kids/grandkids.

I have been paying on average about $250 per seat home and away regular season games of choice over the past 6 years on the open market. I only attend the top tier games 2 or 3 per year.

Dead on again.
I do it because I'm comfortable with making donations to the school for not just the tax benefit, but because I want to contribute to "do my part" to helping them be the best of the best of the best
I take pride in being a season ticket holder. If I had more to give...I would. For now I'm in the corner endzones and happy to be there. Hopefully one day I'll be in the big boy seats. I don't want to pay somebody elses TAF fees year after year.

This is what my Dad is thinking. He wants it to be a family thing that he doesn't have to worry about every game.

for 5k he can buy my tickets

i'm pretty sure if he walked into the TAF office with a checkbook and asked how much they'd tell him (as opposed to not telling him over the phone).

Stubhub it. 15K buys you the best seats to any sporting event you want to attend.
