[QUOTE="tcumaniac, post: 2868004, member: 31299"] Nothing comes to mind outside of possibly allowing the contribution to be worth double the normal value of priority points. Typically, a donation is worth 2 points per $100. Say you have 4 season tickets worth $375 each plus a parking pass for $2,000. If the season is cancelled, you have the option to: 1. Get a refund on everything 2. Apply the cost as a credit for the 2021 season (not very enticing unless you maybe needed the cost of the tickets to meet a new credit card spending bonus or some other unusual reason). This also doesn't make a huge difference to TCU in the long run, because they'll be missing out on the revenue for the 2021 season. 3. Apply the cost of your tickets as a donation to the Frog Club for priority points (which is obviously what TCU would prefer people to do) As the policy stands now, there's not a lot of incentive to apply the cost of your tickets as a donation, because it simply gives you the amount of priority points you would have received making any other one off donation. [I]But[/I] if TCU were to say: If you choose to apply the cost of tickets and parking as a Frog Club donation, you will receive double the usual amount of PPs (4 points instead of 2 points for every $100), there's suddenly a lot more incentive for season ticket holders to consider donating the cost of their tickets. With the scenario listed above, the 4 tickets plus the parking pass would total $3,500 and be worth 70 priority points if you chose to donate that cost under the current policy. Double the value of the priority points you'd receive to 140, and you may be much more motivated to waive your option of receiving a refund and let TCU have your money as a donation instead. But this only incentivizes those still looking to improve their seat location. If you're happy with your current seats, priority points, as you said, are pretty meaningless. [/QUOTE]
