Is "*Includes taxable donation in ticket price" for the top 2 tiers of tickets worded correctly?....or have I lost my understanding of the English language?

HAHA...It makes sense to me. The top two ticket prices have a donation included.

....right, so should it say "*Includes tax deductible donation in ticket price"? ......or "*Includes nondeductible donation in ticket price"?

EndZone/General Admission - $75
Sideline - $115
Premium Sideline/Blue Chairbacks - $150 ($250 BRAA annual donation gives you the right to purchase 2 seats, $500 for 4, etc.)

I know that your number for the sideline seats of $115 is correct, Because that is what I paid for mine.

Well, the $150 for the Blue chairbacks is correct too! I just upgraded this year. Now if only someone can chime in on the end zone seats for confirmation

I think it is worded correctly, oldtiger... not all "donations" are tax deductible, and I think they were expressing that this particular one is not. So, similar to your second phrase, but more confusing.

Agreed.

The only portion of the donation that is deductible is that amount for which you do not receive comparable value. I receive an annual statement from the university for the deductible amount of my donation, which the donation amount minus the "seating or other benefit value" that I gain from that donation.

As you stated, I just found the "taxable donation" phrase a little confusing. That amount simply remains as normal income when filing taxes.

I was probably mentally making something more complicated than it was.

All donations are tax deductible unless the recipient of the donation doesn't qualify. The wording is incorrect, otherwise, it would just say ticket price without mentioning a donation in the final price, example, the bottom 2 ticket prices.

If FAU athletics doesn't qualify for tax exempt status, like oldtiger said, it should read "non-tax deductible donation". the way it reads isyou're getting taxed for making a donation

my guess is the state and the city require fau to still charge sales tax on the full price of the ticket and donation

Mine were $125 last season, lower level on the 50, with a season parking pass to boot. I intend on purchasing the same seats again for this year, along with the extra price for a ticket to one of UAB's road games, I have yet to venture into enemy territory for a Blazers game, but that will change with this season. Be afraid, Vanderbilt!!! Be very afraid!!!

Wish I could go to San Antonio and watch my Blazers fricassee them RoadRunners!!! ;-)

Here is a link to the Sun Bowl and the ticket prices for the sections for UTEP games.
