[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 646534, member: 2426"] Those are two separate issues. You still need priority points to get to better seating areas, get tickets/better tickets to away games -- post season, etc. If football club seats become available, the person on the waiting list with the highest priority points will get offered the seats. You then are required to make a contribution to the "Tech Fund" when purchasing tickets. That was indeed set up so that the ticket prices could be raised, but the person purchasing the ticket could deduct some of the cost from their taxes. Club seats cost $325. Section 101 seats cost $325. Tech Terrace seats cost $325. Club seats are in the middle of the field. Section 101 is in the corner of the end zone. Club seats include chair backs, an air conditioned area, and two drinks. Section 101 includes none of that. Tech Terrace includes a buffet and drinks. Are all of those tickets actually equal in value? The "Tech Fund" contribution was precisely to have multiple price levels but provide a tax break. The law changed last year. Some people pre-paid their "Tech Fund" contribution in late 2017 in order to be able to deduct them. General "AT Fund" contributions award 2 priority points per $100, while "Tech Fund" contributions award 1 point per $100. "Tech Fund" contributions are described as: These contributions are basically revenue that the athletic association can use in any way the want to. AT-Fund contributions can be unrestricted general contributions, or can be made specifically to just about any particular thing you want. [URL]http://www.atfund.gatech.edu/t-fund-faq[/URL] [/QUOTE]
