Lets raise Ticket prices

[USLJim]

DaddyCajun is right. Don't raise any prices until you have a consistant winning program, like UL Baseball. Just fill up the seats. Here is something to think about, it was put to me by Nelson. If the community were to buy just 16,000 more season tickest for any sport at $100.00 a season ticket, what would that get us. Don't have to be an idiot to figure that out. People have to support by buying season tickets for all sports, especially football and basketball because of the large arenas they play in. Fill up Cajun Field at 25,000 this season and you will reap the rewards, put 8,000 plus at the basketball games and see what happens. Women's basketball will be a revenue player next year and coming years if Coach Hall maintains his momentum. UL Baseball is growing every year and is self supporting with the help of advertisers.
Get the people out.

Looks like my idea is winning in the pols but losing in the posts. I just wanted to create money for the program and create the perception that the tickets are worth something. I know winning will do it but what comes first the money or the winning? In football it's hard to build a winning program with no money.

I think the answer is slow increases until demand picks up. A buck or two per game per year will hardly be noticed, but a sharp increase will be intolerable without the associated wins. Consider the frog and boiling water analogy.

Want to see this program walk on water huh? What would help perception and ticket sales for the long term is if everyone sat in the upper deck. The stadium looks empty from the road. I will never forget the first time I went to a game I thought I would be by myself because all I had to go by was the look from the road.

Sell 5K of Young Ragin Cajun Club tickets, and there is a way, believe me. That will occupy a lot of the upper deck. Since the YRCC member cannot drive, somebody must bring them--more reserved seating. More popcorn, candied apples, Pepsi, lemonade, pizza, ice cream. All I see is

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

at football, men & women's basketball, baseball softball, soccer

This could mean more money than $1-2 per ticket increase for those already purchasing tickets.

I agree wholeheartedly. This is a tremendous deal for families (as a kid, I was a member when my family lived in Lafayette).

It's also something that the university severely under-markets.

If Louisiana EVER sells out the upper deck on a consistent basis, watch out, the lower deck will follow.

If the staduim looks like it is "happening" from the road, people will flock.

The answer is simple. WIN. Its amazing how many people come on a consistant basis to a team that has not had a wining season since 1995. Watch the Cajuns win 8 or 9 games, go to a bowl and we'll be scalping tickets!
