He walked into a hornet’s nest.
OUCH. It wasn't long ago that the minimum donation level there was $100.
I surmise that initially a few high level donors, like Mr. Siegel, are going to help us deliver on this.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahhahahahahhahahahhahaha
This is nuts. Looks like it is gonna cost $25k + $3.5k yearly for lower sideline season tickets. People are taking out balloon payment loans to watch UVA play Frostburg State in November. How are they going to enforce the "payable over five years" bit? You're signing a contract? If you die, are they coming after your estate?
Unless Duke and UNC games are going for $10k on the open market, I don't see a way for season ticket holders to get any money back.

Yup. People complain about VCU tickets being expensive, you're looking at around $150 per game at minimum for the next 5 years to sit in the JPJ nosebleeds.

My thing is tho how much of a Marquee, UVA vs Duke/UNC is solely depends on how good UVA is in this situation. And if UVA is bad, who is gonna wanna over pay as you sell those extra tickets of yours to the UNC/Duke games? I'm not paying $10k to go see UVA play Duke.... especially if I know UVA has no chance in he11 of winning or keeping it close.
Interesting that they're doing this to start in 2027-28.... I guess so people have time to "save up money".... or it gives UVA time to adjust incase Odom & Co. struggle early on at UVA.... they may need to adjust how much they expect people to donate/pay for tickets.
Will be very interesting to see how this all works out for UVA.

I wonder how these ticket prices compare with other ACC programs?

It could certainly be worse. Duke requires a minimum donation of $8,000 per year with a 3-year commitment just to buy two tickets.
Meanwhile, UNC lets you buy season tickets with just a $100 donation.

Yeah but whats both of their average ticket prices for a game.... thats not UNC/Duke? Cause obviously that price is gonna be astronomical.
Also what is their season ticket prices on top of the donations?
That's where @Mr X & I were wondering how they compare to what UVA is trying to do.... and UNC/Duke are much more established premier BBall programs.

No wonder they're paying him so much. Maybe we should have paid him more and had him coach baseball too.

donors at the $25k level ($125k over 5 years) in those areas could buy up to 8 seats per how I read it but the committment is 5 years
so for each seat (if 8) the amount is a little over $3k per seat + the season ticket cost
still BIG Bucks, BIG bucks no wammies
