How much are your teams football tickets?

One thing is clear there is something to stadium design for generating volume. Reliant Stadium (or really any dome style stadium) are extremely loud because the noise is contained and reverberates off all the walls. Outdoor stadiums that have an upper deck seem to be louder as well since the sound is more contained than the open bowl stadium like Mich and ND have.

Of course when the fans have something to cheer for then it's even better!

 

I'd go to Wrigley also. I'd get kicked out, but I could say I was there.

If I had to go that far North for a game, I'd prefer to drink a couple of these....

 

When I lived in MN, Leinenkugel was standard fair. That's some good beer.

 

MCG, let me clarify, I am not offering to buy but to point you in a direction where you would probably get more than what you have paid.

I don't need any more tickets myself.

However the place I would refer you to will buy your season tickets then sell them one at a time. You could probably get more if you did the same but it's a quick and easy way to do it and they send the money with a return envelope to send the tickets. At least that is the way they did it when I sold my Georgia tickets one year.

 

Terry, I'm not sure if you meant that for me or not but my tickets are in the endzone and the ones on the sidelines are more. However the number I gave above, about $3,000 each is what it would cost now to get my tickets.

They are really in demand.

 

That pretty much makes my point Bill, that the top teams can almost do anything they want with regards to tickets. Sure there might be some grumbling but not enough to make them change. However they are at risk if the program slides.

Before Mack Brown came to Texas the Longhorns infrequently sold out. I went to a game in '94 vs Colorado and I could buy tickets at the grocery store Ticketmaster the week of the game. Not anymore. However that could still happen if the program slides again.

It's suprising to me that the Irish have been able to sell out for so many years inspite of periods of mediocrity. I'm guessing tickets to Gator games before Spurrier were a lot easier and cheaper.

Season tics at NU come with Runza Hut tailgate coupons. Beat that Wendy.

:lol:

 

Prior to Spurrier the Gators pretty much drew good crowds but nothing like once he got there. I was able to get the tickets we have for a booster fee of between $100 and $150, I don't remember which. It was part of the north end zone expansion.

I think the stated price in that area now is $250, but the reality is it's closer to $3,000. Fortunately for us they have grandfathered us in because there is no way I pay the higher figure. Neither from a standpoint of what I can afford or what I would be willing to pay.

In reality I keep them because they are with two of our kids, otherwise I would probably be content to watch the games on tv from my living room.
