Maximizing Your UGA Alumni Football Ticket Benefits

As a University of Georgia (UGA) alumnus, you unlock a range of exclusive benefits, particularly related to football tickets. This article explores these advantages, focusing on how alumni can leverage their contributions and priority points to enhance their game day experience.

Priority Points and The Georgia Bulldog Club

The cornerstone of UGA alumni football ticket benefits is the Priority Point system managed by The Georgia Bulldog Club (TGBC). These points are accumulated over your lifetime of giving to the TGBC and play a crucial role in determining access to season tickets, single-game tickets, away game tickets, and parking passes.

Earning Priority Points

Priority points are earned primarily through donations to the Georgia Bulldog Club. Specifically:

Annual Fund Donations: Contributions to any TGBC annual fund (Hartman Fund, Men’s Basketball Fund, Women’s Basketball Fund, Gymnastics Excellence Fund, Georgia Baseball Fund, Georgia Softball Fund, and the Victory Fund) receive 1 point per dollar contributed.
Sport-Specific and Endowment Gifts: Donations made through the UGA Foundation for sport-specific purposes or endowments also earn 1 point per dollar contributed.
Magill Society Contributions: Bonus points are awarded for contributions to the Magill Society.

Your total priority point score is the sum of all eligible contributions made to The Georgia Bulldog Club throughout your lifetime. These contributions are vital as they provide essential support for all UGA student-athletes.

Season Tickets: A Priority-Based System

Securing season tickets often hinges on your cumulative TGBC priority points. The Georgia Bulldog Club identifies qualifying scores by arranging Hartman Fund contributors in score order and assigning tickets based on availability.

New Ticket Requesters

New ticket requesters are required to make the minimum per-seat contribution, which was $250 per seat in 2026, as well as pay the season ticket cost, which was $585 per seat in 2026. Meeting these requirements enters you into the Online Seat and Parking Selection Process. However, selection is not guaranteed due to high demand.

Adding Season Tickets

Existing season ticket holders looking to add seats must submit their application and payment for additional tickets by the specified deadline (April 1 in 2026). Failure to do so means you will not have the option to purchase additional seats during the seat selection process. The minimum per-seat contribution also applies to additional tickets.

If, during the seat selection process, you choose seats with a higher per-seat requirement than your existing Hartman Fund contribution, you can secure those seats by paying the difference at checkout. If you're unable to secure desirable additional seat locations, you can request a refund on the season ticket cost or apply it towards your next Hartman Fund contribution.

Renewing Season Tickets

Renewing season ticket holders have the option to opt out of the seat selection process and maintain their seat location from the previous year.

Single Game Tickets

Hartman Fund donors are eligible to request single home game tickets based on their priority points and annual contribution. Each game has a minimum cumulative score required to be eligible to request tickets. This does not guarantee that anyone within these point totals will receive tickets if requested.

Away Game Tickets

Hartman Fund and/or Magill Society donors can request away game tickets based on their priority points and annual contribution. Similar to single-game tickets, away game tickets are assigned based on cumulative priority points and availability. You do not need to be a season ticket holder to qualify for away game tickets.

Georgia-Florida Game Tickets

The opportunity to request tickets to the annual Georgia-Florida game is a benefit of being a Hartman Fund donor. You do not need to be a season ticket holder to be eligible to request tickets for this highly anticipated matchup.

College Football Playoff (CFP) Tickets

If UGA hosts a CFP first-round game, season ticket holders will have the first right to purchase their same seat locations for that game. Season ticket holders can choose to purchase all the seats on their account or decline tickets.

Parking Passes

Donors who contribute $1,500 or more to the Hartman Fund and are assigned season tickets on the same account are eligible to select a season parking pass based on availability. Parking pass assignments are also determined by cumulative priority points.

Premium Seating Options

Sanford Stadium offers a variety of premium seating options for an enhanced game day experience. These options often come with additional benefits and amenities.

Luxury Suites: Constructed in 1994 and expanded in 2000, Sanford Stadium features luxury suites offering a premium viewing experience.
SkyClub: A 6,000 square foot heated and cooled premium space offering a comfortable environment for enjoying the game.
1929 Club: Introduced in 2024, the 1929 Club provides an exclusive premium experience with cushioned exterior stadium seating, a luxurious club space, and premium food and drink offerings.
The Lounge: Located on the 200-level concourse, The Lounge provides an open-air, covered space for guests to enjoy food and drinks.
Legends Lounge: An exclusive premium offering unveiled by The Georgia Bulldog Club in partnership with Proof of the Pudding, offering an unparalleled game day experience.
Rob & Cindy Scott Field Club and Suites: Located in the East End Zone on field level, providing a unique perspective of the game.
Champion’s Club: Situated on the 50-yard line, Champion’s Club allows guests to participate in the game day experience within an open-air, covered space.

The William C. Hartman Jr. Fund

The Georgia Educational Enhancement Fund (GEEF) was renamed the William C. Hartman Jr. Fund in 2006 to honor the late Coach Bill Hartman. Contributions to the Hartman Fund directly impact the lives of UGA student-athletes and provide donors with the benefits outlined above.

NCAA Rules Compliance

It is crucial for alumni to be aware of and adhere to NCAA rules and regulations. The University of Georgia is responsible for ensuring that its various constituencies, including alumni, abide by these rules. A staff member or representative of UGA’s athletics interests may not offer or provide any benefits to a prospect or the prospect’s relatives or friends other than those expressly permitted by NCAA legislation.

Beyond football ticket benefits, UGA alumni enjoy a variety of other perks:

UGA Center for Continuing Education: Discounts on professional development programs.
UGA Hotel and Conference Center: Special rates for alumni.
UGA Bookstore: A 10% discount on merchandise (restrictions may apply).
