      Looks like the U is offering a one-time opportunity to transfer your season tickets for a fee.  Act early to get the best rates.

      *******************************************

      Dear Season Ticketholder,

      The Utah ticket office will be offering ticket transfer windows for football season tickets for the first time since 2008. Our current policy is to only allow transfer between spouses. However, every season we receive multiple requests to offer ticket transfers. In an effort to fulfill these requests, football season ticket holders will have the opportunity to transfer the rights to purchase some or all of their season tickets to any individual. Due to high demand, a per-seat fee is required to process a ticket transfer. This offer will only be available for the 2018 football season and only during the transfer windows below:

      Transfer Window

      Chair Price

      Bleacher Price

      Jan 30 – Feb 28

      $300/seat

      $150/seat

      March 1 – March 30

      $600/seat

      $300/seat

      March 31 – Aug 1

      Market Rate

      Market Rate


      All transfers must be complete within the designated window to receive the corresponding price. All fees must be paid prior to the transfer of seats. Please note the current season ticket holder will no longer have rights to renew or purchase transferred tickets in future seasons; those rights will belong to the recipient of the transferred season tickets


      To arrange a ticket transfer or for more information, please contact your account representative at 801-587-9894.

       

       

      Go Utes!

      Money grab marketing at its finest. We see a demand and expect to fill it with an arbitrary and high cost.

        With USC making $69m renaming the coliseum, how soon before Utah jumps on board and sells naming rights to RES?

          If you’re attending a game at the United Airlines Coliseum and a late-arriving high-roller wants your seat will you be beat up and dragged out of the stadium?

      This is just a rumor, so I am looking to see if anyone has confirmation.  I understand that some seats in RES have a substantial CC donation required upfront for the “opportunity” to purchase those season tickets.

      So for instance, let’s say Dad has had seats for a long time, then unexpectedly passed away, then those seats go back into the available pool and the family would need to come up with the new donation for the opportunity to purchase those season tickets or the “opportunity” would be offered to another doner. 

      Can anyone confirm if this is the case?  The information I have is rumor.

      If the above is true, a transfer to a younger member of the family (even with the per seat charges) may be a preferred option.  Would still be nice if a transfer were permitted without the fee.

      I know that this is a similar situation to scalping.  The university is trying to get in on some of the value of the transfer so all the value does not go to secondary sellers.

        This is exactly what I did a few years ago when they allowed a “one Time offer” to transfer. My six seats are split between my three sons. At the time I did this the ticket agent said that was a smart idea but admitted they couldn’t keep track of people dying. So either transfer them to a younger generation or make sure they know your email and password when you die.

          Maybe this should be part of standard estate planning. 🙂

            I wonder if the Huntsman estate planned this way.
