If they average 22k season tickets, would this plan raise that to 28-29k? Could be a win.
With whatever donation requirements and/or extra fees it costs to be a season ticket holder added into those revenue figures, too. And then after the event capacity restrictions are altered/lifted, they will end up selling a lot or all of those single-game tickets anyway (most likely scenario).
So, to answer your question... Yes, a very solid plan to sell more season tickets and bring in more revenue. All while maintaining the appearance that they actually care about social distancing and the health and safety of those in attendance. It's a win/win.

Since LSU pretty much sells out its stadium through season tickets (other than visitor and student seating), this is obviously a plan that wouldn't work for LSU.
I'm worried that LSU will handle the season with some sort of lottery on a game-by-game basis. By that, I mean if LSU tries to give each season ticket holder 2 or 3 games. Could you imagine if you got Rice, Miss. State, and UTSA and got screwed out of Texas and Alabama? THAT is what scares me the most about trying to limit the seating in Tiger Stadium, i.e., that LSU would come up with some idiotic scheme like that.
More likely, they'll do it on the basis of Priority Points. Even if they do it on that basis, it would still have to be an all-or-nothing proposition. I would tell them to stick my season tickets up their a$$ if they tried to do it on a game-by-game basis, i.e., the big donors get Alabama and Texas while the regular season ticket holders get the Rice, UTSA, and Miss. St. tickets.

they'd probably separate the games into tiers, and youd get one game from each

Here are the games at home this year:
UTSA
Texas
Rice
Ole Miss
Nicholls St
Mississippi State
Alabama
South Carolina
Reasonably putting these into tiers:
Tier 1:
Bama
Texas
Tier 2:
Ole Miss
South Carolina
Miss St
Tier 3:
UTSA
Rice
Nicholls State
Theoretically, each season ticket holder could get 1 Tier 1 game and 3 from Tiers 2 and 3, if capacity is reduced to 50%. If it drops lower than that (which it could if recommendations are to keep the total # in the stadium below a certain threshold), then that could reduce those numbers even further.
From a fairness standpoint, though, if there are limits on seating in the stadium, fans should be able to opt out at no cost, and not lose their seats. In other words -- let's say I get the Texas, Ole Miss, Rice and Nicholls State package. I should be able to say "nah, I'm good" but keep my seats for next season, and then I could take my chances on the secondary market.
