Football Seat Rights Program – FAQs

How will I select my seat rights location(s)?
New Football Seat Rights participants will select a seat location from available inventory on a first-come, first-serve basis. To set up a selection appointment, call the Deacon Club at (336) 758-5626 or click here.

As a current seat rights holder, can I change location?
Current FSRP holders will have the opportunity to change the location of their seat rights if desired. If moving within the same section or to a better section, the holder will pay the difference between the original cost of the seat rights and the 2010-11 seat rights price; this amount will be spread over the remaining payments and the donor will retain the original term duration. Call the Deacon Club at (336) 758-5626 or click here to set an appointment to change your seat location.

As a current seat rights holder, can I add seats?
Current FSRP holders will have the opportunity to add seats at the 2010-11 seat rights price. If the addition of seats requires movement of the original seat rights within the same section, the donor will not be charged for the change in location. However, if the donor adds seats and moves to a better section, the donor will be required to pay the difference between the original cost and the 2010-11 seat rights price as well as the full 2010-11 price for all new seats. Call the Deacon Club at (336) 758-5626 or click here to set an appointment to add seat rights.

Can my friend and I get seat rights together?
Two or more donors may select seat locations together, but each member of the group must individually commit to the Seat Rights Program.

Do I have to pay for seat rights up front, or can I pay over a number of years?
There are three payment options to choose from:

• Option #1 – Retain your seat(s) for 25 years if you pay upfront by June 30, 2011.
• Option #2 – Retain your seat(s) for 20 years if you pay over a 5-year period.
• Option #3 – Retain your seat(s) for 15 years if you pay over a 10-year period.

The Deacon Club will bill you every year in equal installments depending on the payment plan selected, and the payment deadline each year is June 30.

What happens if I die before my seat rights term expires?
Seat rights may not be sold or transferred, except as permitted by the FSRP. The program permits a transfer to immediate family members upon the death of the holder and by gift once during the life of the holder.

How do I obtain seat rights?
To set up a selection appointment, call the Deacon Club at (336) 758-5626 or click here. A $50 per-seat deposit is due at the time of commitment, and this amount will be deducted from your first payment, which is due by June 30, 2011.

Do I have to be a Deacon Club member at a certain giving level to obtain seat rights?
All FSRP participants must be Deacon Club members, and giving level determines the number of seat rights you are able to purchase. Some sections also have a minimum giving requirement for the duration of the term.

	Giving Level	# of seats available for purchase
	Moricle Society	14
	Coliseum Club	14
	Locker Room Club	14
	Black & Gold Society	14
	Gold Club	12
	Executive Club	10
	Scholarship Club	8
	Golden W	6
	Golden C	4
	General	2

Will I receive priority points for my FSRP donation?
Yes. You will earn 1 priority point for every $100 donation.

Can I purchase seat rights in the Young Alumni section?
Those currently sitting in the Young Alumni section will have the opportunity to secure the location of their seats with the FSRP; however, these participants will only be eligible for the Young Alumni season ticket price discount the first five years after graduating. The participant will have to pay the full season ticket price for the remainder of his/her seat rights duration.

What happens if I buy seat rights, then decide to reduce my number of seats a few years into the term?
If you decide to relinquish your seat rights during a term, you will no longer be required to purchase season tickets and your seat rights location will return to unsold seat inventory. You will be given a credit balance for any donation made, prorated for seat rights use to date, to be redeemed if you participate in any subsequent seat rights programs.

Can I sell or transfer my seat rights?
Seat rights may not be sold or transferred, except as permitted by the FSRP. The Program permits the transfers by gift to immediate family members upon the death of the donor and by gift during the life of the donor.

Is the seat rights donation tax-deductible?
Based on IRS guidelines, Wake Forest intends to estimate the value of the non-deductible portion of the contribution as 20% of the donation for the FSRP. As always, please consult your tax advisor.

What if I choose not to participate in the seat rights program this year?
Those who do not participate in the seat rights program will have a change in seat location. After seats have been selected by FSRP participants, all other season tickets will be allocated based on Deacon Club rank and then by the date ticket orders are received.

What if I choose to participate in the seat rights program next year or several years from now?
Prices, payment terms, and seat rights durations are subject to change in subsequent years.
