Priority Points

 

What are priority points and how do they affect me?

Priority points are awarded in three categories and combine to establish your “rank” among those who support USA Jaguar Athletics through philanthropic gifts, purchasing season tickets and other categories of affiliation with the University of South Alabama.

 

Priority point totals are used to determine access to, and seating locations for: Football and Men’s Basketball, NCAA Tournaments, Bowl Games, Sun Belt Conference Tournaments, NCAA events hosted by USA, tickets for away games, priority parking at home contests (where appropriate and available), and any athletic event where demand exceeds ticket availability (i.e., National Invitation Tournaments).

 

Why is South Alabama using priority points?

 

Priority points programs are common in intercollegiate athletics.  The South Alabama Priority Point System will help generate important annual support for all athletic programs, while ensuring a fair process for determining seat selection for Football and Men’s Basketball venues as well as access to other limited items.

 

How do I know how many points I have?

Priority point totals are calculated by the USA Development Office. For questions about your priority points you can contact the development office at 251-461-1366.  You can also view how points are calculated by going to Priority Seating > Priority Point Program.

How can I get more points?

 

There are three important ways to increase your priority point total.

 

·         Increase your donation level to the JAF by calling 251-461-1366

 

·         Support Football and Men’s Basketball through the purchase of season tickets by calling 251-461-1USA (1872).

 

·         Join the USA Alumni Association by calling 251-460-7084

 

Season Tickets

 

How many seats can I purchase?

There is no limit on the number of seats you can purchase within a non-donor seating section.  However, your donor level to the JAF will determine how many seats you are eligible to purchase within certain donor sections.

How long can I keep my seats?

 

You can keep your seating location on a yearly basis provided you renew your season tickets by the appropriate deadline and renew your donation at the required giving level.  While it is not anticipated in the short term, it is expected in the future minimum donation levels will increase and you must continue to meet the minimum donation level for your section to maintain your seating location.

 

What is the multi-year ticket plan about?

 

The multi-year ticket plan is a great option to guarantee your season ticket price for the next two years and lock in your seating location, provided the necessary giving level is met.  By paying for your season tickets for two years, you will be awarded with an additional ten (10) priority points.  To learn about all the available options please call 251-461-1USA

 

Parking

 

Will every season ticket holder be guaranteed a parking space at Ladd-Peebles Stadium?

 

No.  Parking is extremely limited at Ladd-Peebles stadium and there will not be enough parking for all season ticket holders.  Parking passes are only sold on a season basis and can be purchased for $105 by calling 251-461-1USA (1872).  Requests for parking will be prioritized based on donor level and prioirty points.  Single game parking passes will not be sold except for patrons displaying a valid handicap parking pass.  The cost of one pass is $15 and can be paid upon entering the stadium.  In addition, USA Athletics is making plans to provide game day shuttles from various locations throughout Mobile.  This process will be similar to what the Senior Bowl and GMAC Bowl employ for their games.

 

If I do not park at Ladd-Peebles where will I be able to park?

 

As mentioned previously, USA Athletics is making plans to provide game day shuttles from various locations throughout Mobile.  This process will be similar to what the Senior Bowl and GMAC Bowl employ for their games.  As game-day logistics are finalized, we will be updating this website with new information.  Please check back often for further updates.

  

Will I be able to tailgate before USA home football games? 

 

Tailgating is encouraged prior to each home football game at Ladd-Peebles stadium.  In fact it is the plan of USA Athletics to provide an outstanding game day atmosphere that encompasses more than the game itself.  With that said, certain rules and restrictions will be in place to ensure the safety of all our patrons. 

What do I need to know about bringing my RV to a game?

Limited RV parking is available to patrons at Ladd-Peebles stadium on a season or single game basis.  However, due to the limited number of parking spaces at Ladd-Peebles there will only be a small number of spaces designated for RV parking.  Season RV passes are only $450 and a single game pass is only $65.  Passes can be purchased by calling 251-461-1USA (1872).  There are no RV hook-ups available on site.  For Saturday games, you can arrive after 5 p.m. on Friday and must depart by noon on Sunday.  A modified schedule will be posted for weekday games.   

 

Donations

 

How does donating to the JAF affect my seat location?

Donations to the JAF play two critical roles in selecting your seating location.  First, your donation to the JAF will increase your priority point total.  Second, certain sections in Ladd-Peebles stadium are reserved for donors to the JAF.  To find out what sections you would be eligible for based on your donation please refer to View / Select Your Seats. 

What does my donation go towards?

Annual gifts to the Jaguar Athletic Fund help underwrite scholarships, for recruitment of student athletes, recruitment and retention of top-quality coaches and staff, academic support, travel and other critical operating needs.   

How often do I have to make this donation to the JAF?

 

In order to maintain your seating location, you must make your benchmark donation on an annual basis by the appropriate deadlines.  Your benchmark donation is the gift you made to secure the seating location you are renewing.
