2025-26 Benefits Chart

MEN'S BASKETBALL GAME DAY HOSPITALITY
There are three pre-game and half-time hospitality spaces available for men's home games in the Kennel. Access is based off of priority points and an additional charitable contribution (the fair market value of hospitality pass is not considered tax-deductible). Gifts can be directed to any area in athletics—from and individual team to band, cheer or Spike the mascot. The funds raised through hospitality passes have a tremendous impact on our programs and provide space to socialize and celebrate with other Zag fans.

PRIORITY POINTS
Gonzaga uses a point system to determine access to special events and assign seat locations throughout the year. Priority points are a lifetime benefit and are not transferable. We communicate priority point standing during the season ticket renewal process every year. If you'd like to get an update on your priority points, please contact someone in our Development office.

Earning Points
Donors receive points by:

• $100 contribution or pledge to Athletics = 1 point
  • Beginning June 1, 1994
• $1,000 contribution to University (non-athletic giving) = 1 point
  • Maximum of 100 points
  • 1 bonus point for every $1,000 above $500,000
