A chart of  Villanova Athletic Fund donor denefits

Access to men's basketball postseason tickets are based on availability; tickets are not guaranteed. A minimum gift of $500 to Villanova Athletics since June 1, 2021 is required to have the opportunity to purchase tickets to 2022 postseason games through Villanova Athletics. Donations to the Villanova Athletic Fund (VAF) and premiums for the 2021-22 season—including those for Finneran Pavilion and Wells Fargo Center season ticket packages, W.I.L.D. membership and Wildcat Game Day Experiences—qualify towards the $500 gift threshold. Gifts made since June 1, 2019 that have already been designated cannot be redirected to Villanova Athletics in order to meet the required minimum to purchase postseason tickets. December 31, 2021 is the deadline for eligibility to purchase 2021-2022 men's basketball postseason tickets.

Ticket premium and seat license payments count towards Lifetime Recognition, Nova Points and annual donor participation. Lifetime Recognition reflects donor’s Lifetime Giving and Athletic ticket premium payments since January 1, 2021. Ticket premiums and seat license payments count for Villanova Athletic Fund benefits but do NOT count for giving society recognition (i.e., President’s Club, Matthew Carr Society, etc.).

VAF annual giving benefits are specific to Athletics Annual Fund gifts and season ticket holder premiums. VAF Benefits will begin on June 1, 2021 for the upcoming fiscal year.
