What is the season ticket price per ticket, including the license fees? You keep saying they're underpriced, but have not indicated what the price is.I’m not buying season tickets to a sport that has 30 home games when I go to 8 games a year max. I’m not dealing with the hassle of trying to make sure someone gets in the seats when I’m not there and all that comes with it. My personal situation has nothing to do with the overall point, which is the demand is way higher than the price and it’s ridiculous that people are able to buy tickets from the university that cheap when the sport is losing money. It makes no walking around sense.
Yes. Everybody does this to one extent or another. Football doesn't officially drop the price because we suck, but seems like there have bene some steals offered on mini packages the last few years. I also assume our seat license fees would be higher in football if we were coming off three really successful years instead of three years of shittiness.So are they supposed to change the ticket price if they think the team is good? What about the last two years when they sucked? Those grapes are extra sour.
To be clear, I'm not bitching about baseball ticket prices because I assume they are somewhere close to market price, or to the extent they are nto, it's because people made a significant 10 year commitment and the current prices would be high if we sucked and only look like a bargain because we are good.
ETA: Actually, if I was a betting person, I would bet we are underpricing tickets by any measure because we didn'dt properly hedge against inflation. We've basically had an extra 25-30% inflation beyond what was likely expected since building the stadium that wasn't accounted for in the pricing. I bet instead of indexing to CPI or something, they used a 2% or 3% assumption for inflation, and got screwed by the moneypress getting ramped up.
