It’s the Law: Faculty/Staff Football Ticket Sales

Bryant Denny stadium, night crowd

Current UA employees are public employees subject to Alabama ethics law. As such, UA employees cannot sell or trade their faculty/staff football ticket order form or their purchased faculty/staff tickets for a profit. Such a sale is considered using a public position for personal gain, which is a violation of the Alabama Ethics Act.

UA officials investigate reports of any employee selling faculty/staff tickets for more than they paid for them. Employees found to have profited from the sale or trade of faculty/staff tickets are subject to being reported to the Alabama Ethics Commission, which can levy fines and criminal charges.

In addition, all faculty, staff and retirees who violate this policy are subject to penalties from the Intercollegiate Athletics office. Those penalties include revocation of current season tickets and bans on the purchase of faculty/staff tickets in the future.
