Donors to VAF earn priority points that are used to determine their overall ranking among all donors. VAF uses the donor's points when assigning both ticket and parking locations. Priority points are recalculated each year and are activated when a current year pledge is made.

Donors who increase their commitment by 10% over their 2012 gift receive bonus points (2013 pledge x .05)
For football and basketball, donors receive points for purchases dating back 20 years and a maximum of six years for all other sports that offer season tickets (these represent the number of years ticket data is available due to system upgrades and the way data has been stored). Donors will receive 5 points per year per sport for consecutive years of purchase (not per ticket).
Donors who make or have made a planned gift of $25,000 or more to benefit the athletics program (and have provided documentation that the Virginia Athletics Foundation is named as a revocable beneficiary) receive an additional 250 points.
