It is hard to believe how these kinds of things continue over the years.
The only constant over there is change in staff.
Maybe they should just turn it over to the Business school

I believe the the school was deemed part of the problem initially. I seem to recall an unwillingness to share information across the two being an obstacle.

I know that there used to be a phone bank for the school to reach out to solicit donations. Is that still done or have they figured out that it’s pointless these days with folks not answering the phone of unknown numbers?

Are y’all really surprised ticket prices are going up? App State tickets have been underpriced for years. I’m sure some of y’all were Boy Scouts, always be prepared.

Makes me think of a problem we have in my area. There is a store that really sucks and when you bring something up it is alway " We can't get good help". Problem is, there are so many other businesses around them who don't seem to have the same problem.

I do feel that excuse is both over played and inaccurately applied.

When you are consistently above capacity, you can do that.

True, but don't think they are underpriced.

When you say the highest price, are you including the PSL along with the actual ticket?

I absolutly believe they are underpriced. You sure as hell would never get a concert ticket for these prices. We want, we want, we want. Well then we need to pay. We can't keep expecting someone else to pay for our entertainment.

A big portion of our fan base has champagne tastes but expect to pay PBR prices for it. They don’t understand why we won’t pay an extra $500k for a head coach or increase our assistant pool by $1mil, then bitch about paying an extra $20 a year for tickets.

I sit in 204. $400/seat giving required + $280 season ticket. That works to $113/seat/game (6 home games).

This is compared to $450 if I purchased each game individually, $75/game on average.

For some (pending where sit), season ticket prices are similar to concert ticket prices. We even include a $30 handling fee. Looking at the math above, there is a financial incentive to purchase single game.

Don’t forget to add the $20 minimum a game for parking that you’d have to pay to park since you would give up the parking.

When I saw it I think it was just the price of regular season home games. I forgot where it was. I know that $100/seat for Liberty last year was way higher than any other SBC home game ticket.

At least most of you got a notice. If I had not read this threat, I would have not known that the notice had gone out. I have been a season ticket holder for years and never received a thing. Wonder how many other people were missed.
Give them a cal and let them know.
Thanks, I did
