I currently pay 200 a seat and would gladly pay 300. What about the real issue at hand... student assesment fee's. What kind of political miracle's would we need to pull off to make that happen?

You hit that nail square on the head!Quote:

You aren't a good "leader" if the only way you get better is to suffocate those around you!
It is time for us to get this changed!
5$ per ticket per game for 6 home games would give us $600,000 to work with if the attendance stays at 20k per game without counting students. Darn nice raise and a little contengency.
Now you're seeing the big picture! Just say it was $10 more ... that extra $600k (in addition to yours) would go a long way towards eliminating one of the "rent a games" - that will help improve our record which in turn helps attract more fans to the home games.Quote:

Geeze, I paid 100 per ticket for seats on the 50 in DD. Im ripping the university off. You want to not have these problems in the future? Pony up. I'd pay 150-200 per seat if asked.Quote:

Raise the ticket prices, pay the coach, continue to win, get in the top 25, and leave those who "won't" pay more behind.
Oh I know you weren't aiming at me, and if you were, I ducked! I'd pay 150-200 per seat as well if asked. But I would also be happy with an annual increase in prices so that the people not as fortunate as we are are not scared off.Quote:

1 existing season ticket holder + 1 new season ticket holder X $110 = $220.
It is probably not that important, but there is a law of diminishing returns; at some point the ticket price will not justify the purchase. I know we are nowhere near that price but I would like to get to it over say, a span of 2-3 years, not overnight. I would like our season ticket holder numbers to be closer to 20k than 10k first!
Just my thoughts.
Maybe go up just an extra $5/ticket for students. Think about it. Most college students are poor. We want them to continue coming to the games, we want more than this past year, and we want them LOUD!
Like the other poster stated, an extra $5/ticket for 6 home games with an average of 20k attendance/game comes out to an extra $600k. You would would raise more than that, because I think you could reasonably tack on an extra $10/ticket for non-students.
Students get in free already
