Were you expecting them to drop prices while going thru a $700 million renovation? I’m surprised that many of the increases were as modest as they were (and that they are freezing increases for the loaded home schedule in 2028).

I've paid less at an NFL game.

But I thought the renovations was going to be paid for with:

- Giant piles of $ from the new "premium" seats
- The revenue-generating wizardry of PK
- The "special" guaranteed revenue deal with Elevate
- Gigantic piles of "philanthropy"

And that existing ticket holders would only see typical "modest" increases (2%/ yr) in the price of their tickets.

Oops?

If you are on board good for you! what about the other 100,000 people. Wasnt worth 700 million. who cares about the press boxes when people are sitting on metal benches. Reality is attendance will go down unless upgraded roster

If the metal bleachers bother you, they gave more options now to get out of them. There was a lot in this renovation that had been kicked down the road for too long, and finally needed to be completed.

I believe the ticket prices are now all in and include the NLC donations and fees.

you are correct Alpha,
this is one of the price table Barry posted last week.

 

[PSUFTG]

I believe the ticket prices are now all in and include the NLC donations and fees.

The price comparisons listed - by several folks - are apples-to-apples (ie, both are listed as "tickets+annual "donation")

The one cost that is not listed, is the additional "one time donation" for the non-premium (not clubs and suites) that now are what is left of the lower west bowl. I believe those are $2,500 per seat, IIRC - but don't take that as gospel.


In any event, it is what it is. People can and will react how they want - though it would be nice if (for once?) folks at PSU had been forthright up front - and not peddled the nonsense they did about how the $700 Million (or more?) costs would be paid for.
Having folks who got nothing in return (in fact, about the only return they will get is that their parking costs will go up, for far worse accommodations) - and now are paying 10-15% or more MORE for their same seats (some more than double) wasn't what was peddled. And that seems really ******, IMO. Of course, some folks (well, at least one folk ) let people know what was actually going to take place. But c'est la vie.

Not my monkeys, not my circus.

Any insight as to what we can expect regarding parking for next year?
I'm a long-time Lot 41 Reserved "customer". I'm in the 600 row, and want to add a 2nd parking spot next season, and want to stay close to this location.
Is there any hope for me and my fellow ilk to do that?!

Who knows? I doubt if they even have the specifics "mapped out" (though they may).

But, for sure, more and more of the close parking will be SOL for you and your "ilk", unless you are buying clubs/suites.

IIRC, "41" is just behind the South End Zone - but that is OTTOMH.... and those are pretty high demand spots, and paved.
If that is correct, I would expect you may be lucky to keep the one you have.

Why would I expect that?
1) A whole bunch of "premium" parking is now going to be allocated to the new Club/Suite holders
AND
2) A bunch of close parking is also going to "corporate" tailgate providers as well. (Folks who set up tailgates for you - and PSU gets a cut)
AND
3) A bunch more was lost with the "Bubble" (which was placed in the dumbest spot on campus for it, but that's another story)
AND
The new Club/Suite folks? They prefer paved parking. So, look around - other close parking (like behind the North Endzone) is grass - as well as the stuff just to the east of the stadium (aside from the bit of paved over there that is already for "premium" folks).

I would expect that paved lot behind the south end zone, and of course the paved area just to the west - nearest the new club/suites entrances - has a good chance to be "Priority 1" for takeover for the new club/suites folks. But that is just my ciphering based on "looking around" at the options.
Which means anyone in there now either gets pushed back -if they are lucky - or pushed out (if not so lucky, or unwilling to pay more).

I assume you haven't heard anything from PSU regarding the future of your current parking?

Thanks.
Yes, Lot 41 is just across Curtin Road.
No, have not heard anything from PSU about next year's parking.
I hope to hold the line, but rather expect to be pushed back in 41. Being pushed out of 41 would be... not ideal.

Regardless, I'm pretty sure that unless something drastic changes, I'm in through at least 2028. I want to go along for the Campbell ride in person, at least the first few seasons.

I believe the seating chart mentions:
the fees $15 +/- and the seat contributions are included in the 2027 ticket prices.

1. The parking is not included
2. The parking contribution is not included

[G3624]

After twenty some years, paying for a reserved rv spot in the green lot. I tossed in the towel, for ten of those years I attended QB club. In retrospect, I often wonder if the events that have happened were the result of some clandestine operation to rid the school of the "coach".
I often ponder if it was not for the"coach" could any of this have happened. But it is spilt milk and alas. I dont believe such a conspiracy could have happened, With so many players involved

 

[Tgar]

The good news for many fans that want to only attend a couple of games is you will be able to find many tickets on the secondary market for well under list price. Yes, the White Out may be tough but every other game will be wide open.

They screwed up overbuilding this monstrosity of a stadium. Even the premium club seat owners are going to stay home for the Rutgers and Minnesota games and it is doubtful all of those seats will be sold anyway.

Parking was always separate from tickets and included additional fees if you wanted reserved or preferred. Why would this season be different.

Psurosco said:

What does "all in" mean?

I believe we are talking about the 2027 season, not this season and there are certainly many changes happening for the 2027 season tickets.

I was clarifying for persons that never purchased season tickets that parking is not included. Parking contributions are also part of the NLC’s annual giving structure.
