from the last annual report for 2014-15 (the 2015-16 should be out soon)

http://stanford_ftp.sidearmsports.com/pd...report.pdf

~6,000 donors
~$12m in donations

so ~$2,000/"average donor"

I would imagine the large donors pull that up, would be interesting to know the median

From the Stanford Football Facebook page last week

DYK we have Season Ticket Members in 43 of 50 states? Let's get going Dakotas, New Mexico, Arkansas, Mississippi, West Virginia & Vermont...

which I found mind boggling.

Our tailgate group had a fellow who lived in MN (he now lives in CA) and he was a season ticket holder but he attended 80%+ of home games which I found amazing, I always thought he was an outlier.....

I wonder if some of the "remote" ticket buyers will pass with the new required donations if they don't go to many games

From the Cardboard poll run a short time ago on donating to the AD

No - 22 (44%)
Yes, under $500/year - 11 (22%)
Yes $500-2500 - 12 (24%)
Yes $2500-5000 - 4 (8%)
Yes over $5000 - 1 (2%)

the 28 positive responses are about 0.5% of the total number of donors to the AD

so in our population the median donor is somewhere between $500 and $2500, probably not far above $500, I'll assume $750, and I'll SWAG the average at ~$2,500 (I took the mid-point of each band as the average in that band and also assumed the one over $5000 was actually $20,000)

I would guess the Cardboard distribution is not too different from the overall AD donor distribution which tells me there are ~10% of donors in the "Big Donor" bucket so of the 6,000 total donors that would be maybe 600 people.  If they buy 4 tickets each that's 2,400 tickets.  There are now going to be ~7,000 seats that require a donation.  It will be interesting to see how many are sold.

I also wonder if they do not sell out if they will backfill with people not paying the required donation. 

Back in the original reseating we were told we could sit in the sunny side upper deck premium section without paying the premium but if the next year (or anytime later) some came along and was willing to pay the premium we would get booted, we choose to sit elsewhere.
