How does one become a season ticket holder?

I have been a season ticket holder for 6 years. There wasn't a wait when I started up as we were still in the rich rod years. I would recommend emailing the ticket office at [email protected]

They can tell you the process and if there is a point total you will need.

Enroll at U of M 

Get student tickets.

Profit.

You pay the $150 fee to join the wait list, and for ever 100 dollars more you get a point. The more points you have the higher up the list you go. Then over the summer the ticket office looks at how many season tickets are available and the people at the top of the list with the most points are offered. Not much if any consideration is given to how long you've been on the list. My buddy was offered tickets last year and that was the first year he applied. But it depends on the demand and how many people are above you. 

Email [email protected]. He will tell you exactly what to do regarding donation and ticket process.

With all due respect, WD, I cannot forsee how you have any money left over after the Jordan Brand launch.

I just joined the list and I got them first year, but that was convinently during the transition period to Harbaugh when everyone got offered tickets because Brandon had chased everyone off. Now I'm sure the list is back, but its tough to know how long it might be, especially if we have another big year and the hype train goes off the rails.

I'd get on that list when you can for the seasons to come, but if you're looking for this year, I have an extra I'm getting rid of that's on the MGoSpreadsheet.

I chose to get 2 hoping to need it for a significant other some day and just to bring friends in the mean time (and also because I figure it'll be hard to increase the number in the future and not get sent back to the top of the endzone), but that proved stressful and annoying to get rid of them all last year so I'm trying to just offload it in whole to whomever last year.

So you are telling me that WD is not a season ticket holder??<--- Mind Blown

I know he just turned 21 but based on the $700 dropped at the Mden, I assumed that he was among the chosen few that had season tickets purchased for them by others.

With all of this in mind....Go write your check for the application fee and stand in line...then call next year...make additional donation and stand in line... do this for a couple years...  then call back after year 4 and ask ..." How much of a donation will it take to get me off the list and into some season tickets? "

An alumni in the row below us stroked a check for $1500 after 3 years on the list.... Success!!

I put myself on the list this year. Cost is $150. Even with all the Harbaugh hype I got tickets and the Athletic Department put me in the same row and section as my family per my request. I am sure the interest list is better than the last several years, but it is not like it once was back in the day where you had to wait years before getting tickets.

However, I am sure I have a few more priority points than you, WD. 

I signed up for season tickets about 9 years ago. At the time there was a two year wait list. I asked the clerk of making a donation would perhaps move me off the wait list. I was told perhaps it would. I next asked how many dollars would perhaps move me off such a list. She wouldn't hint at an amount.

I donated $750 dollars and was promoted off the wait list within 36 hours. I was offered 4 seats in the blue section which I still have today.

Pay the man.

All about points.  You can donate the minimum and get tickets if you had a ton of priority points beforehand (letterman, spouse is also an alumnus). Non-alumni won't get the automatic 20 points for graduating from Michigan, so you might only have a couple points to start.  Like UMBIG11 noted above, contact the university.  They'll be deliberately vague but give you rough ideas of how many points a donor needed to be considered for tickets in past years.

Your spending on such frivolous things will be the downfall of modern society.

How did I get tickets?

1) Graduated from UM
2) Joined Alumni Association
3) Applied for a group of 6 tickets with two other Alumni Association members
4) One year later got our block of six tickets in the Victors section
5) Profit

You're 21, right? You have no idea what you can and can't afford long term yet. Are you saving for retirement? Do you have a stable career or just a good job? Could you afford it if season tickets increased 15% in price? Individual games, buddy. Cheaper and easier. And maybe better seating - do you really want to be in line behind people who's season ticket purchases go back generations??

If you would have asked this question two seasons ago, the response would have been a six-pack of Coke and an agreement to pledge your soul to Lochdogg.

Now it's probably more of a waiting list and donation game.

I got on the list with the$150 donation, (this offseason)just before the deadline, and success. Now you will have to pry them out of my cold dead hands.

Easy. jusr send me a $150 donation and I'll send you an info pack with all the secrets

Inform the ticket office of how many Mgopoints you have and that you referenced in a John U Bacon book and your wait should be much shorter

I thought you of all people would know this.

My guess is donating money. Now that Harbaugh is here, season tickets will be hard to come by. A base amount of probably $150-$200 probably gets you on some kind of waiting list, and the more money you donate, the closer you move to the front of the line, and probably the better seats you can get.

To answer your question in a nutshell, be prepared to donate money.

After the UNLV game last season I joined the interest list, which requires a $150 donation. And luckily I was able to get tickets for this season without donating anymore. But with Harbaugh doing what he does, I'm sure there will be a longer list and it might help donating a little more than the minimum.

Consider secondary market
I've spent thousands of dollars on season tickets and have nice seats that I use about half the time.
The end zones are always available- even for big games ( just higher price).
