not being allowed to renew the tickets. Just curious about this type of scenario. Do these legacy ticket holders get a super reduced 1980s rate? Or is it just the right to be able to buy the same seats each year, albeit price is the same a new potential ticket holder would pay? Are these types of seats meant to go to legit donors?

Found out today that because my dad is no longer alive @BYUTickets are canceling 40 years of @BYUfootball season tickets, memories, & traditions for the Woodall family & will not allow us kids to take them over.
Not gonna lie…this one is going to hurt for awhile 💔
