I saw where Colorado's cheapest tickets are going for several hundred dollars, and got to thinking about the silver lining for being a G5 program.

Troy vs JMU this weekend is $18 for general admission, $26 for reserved, and $50 and $75 for stadium club access. Of course there are also box, and endzone seats for high dollar amounts. Those were sold out before the season started.

What your program's pricing structure?

$10 a seat, and it's been that way for years. With the weak schedule Georgetown produces, there is no demand beyond that.

Was looking for my daughters at Kennesaw St. Prices range from $15-$109. The bulk seem to be in the $20-$30 range.

When I had season tickets at Texas in the 90s, it was only $17 a seat with no contribution required, not even to get guaranteed OU tickets. Its way more than that now, starting in the 80s I think. And you can't get seats without a contribution.

Troy is pretty integral in my life at this point, but if they ever go to 80+ a ticket, I would likely just watch the games on TV and maybe make a single game. Definitely not all 6 games like I've been doing.

$109 for a ticket to Kennesaw State?

Not worth it. Even if you were in a suite. Do they even have those?

I remember going to Kent State to play a game in 1997. It was $2 cash or a canned food item donation to get in. Lol.

That is for the VIP suites where they have food and drinks.

Colorado's cheapest tickets don't sell at face value for several hundred dollars apiece, though. That's just the secondary market in a sold-out stadium. So that's not their program's "pricing structure." Just supply and demand.

When you are meeting the FBS attendance requirement by paid attendance, the tickets have to be sold for 1/3 of the most expensive seats. So let's say you can sell 10,000 tickets. Then a grocery chain might buy 5,000 seats per game. If you have 5 home games, and $15 top ticket, they pay 5,000 X 5 x $15 / 3 = $125,000. They then distribute 2 tickets with each $50 bag of groceries. Or they might donate some to Boys and Girls Clubs.

If they eliminate the attendance requirement, then they might be able to bump the price of their prime 50-yard line seats up to $25 and end up with more revenue with less attendance.

I'd guess your Kent State ticket was something like that. Somebody bought the tickets for $5, donated them to charity, which added in your $2 and the canned food item.
