I am an Aztec Club Member and a Season Ticket holder but did not receive the survey. I get all kinds of other stuff so either I missed it somehow or they do not have complete lists. Check your SPAM box...may be in there since it's a little different email than usual... |

It seems that based on the study, they are proposing a 9 to 10 fold increase in season ticket price. I love the team but I am not going to pay $900 per season ticket for the equivalent seat that I have right now. Attendance will be affected. Why not have the MLS pay for the majority of the cost. I will post some screen shots of the survey

I will post some screen shots of the survey  I pay $600 per seat for my basketball tickets. I have no problem paying $600-$1200 per seat for my football tickets in a new SDSU stadium. Go SDSU WEST! Go AZTECS! |

Glad to hear that you are willing to pay $1200 per season ticket. You are the few elites who are fortunate to have the money to do so. I guess you will be enjoying the game with the 200 other wealthy alums at each game. By the way, $900 was the lowest priced seat that they mentioned I believe.
I have been a season ticket holder for both basketball and football as well. I am a family of 4. Just the thought of spending nearly $8000 per year to continue to go to these games sounds ridiculous. By the way, I also contribute to non-sports related donations as well, so continue to do all three will be impossible. Go Aztecs

The reason for doing surveys like this is to peg the demand at different price points, so these numbers aren't necessarily the final ones. And yes, the MSL will contribute.
But hey, we knew prices would have to rise in the event a new stadium ever became reality. A vastly better facility that would be essential to our making the jump to a higher level was obviously not going to come without costs. And we, the fans and boosters who have been clamoring for the program to someday grow up and realize its potential, will be expected to put our checkbooks where our mouths are. I've been ready for that all along.
If you want Aztec Football to be a big-time program, one that is a fixture in the top 25 every year, then be prepared to pay for it. If saving your bucks is a higher priority, then accept a mediocre football team--or none at all. Those are your choices.

I will post some screen shots of the survey I'm not sure how you're getting a 9 or 10 times increase in tickets. Equivalent seats in the Q are now $250 to $350 depending on which side of the stadium you want to sit. That is more like 3.6 to 5.8 times increase. I'm already paying $350 per ticket so the price increase wouldn't be a deal killer. Of course I've got seat much closer to the 50 yard line for that price. |

Equivalent seats in the Q are now $250 to $350 depending on which side of the stadium you want to sit. That is more like 2.4 to 3.8 times increase. I'm already paying $350 per ticket so the price increase wouldn't be a deal killer. Of course I've got seat much closer to the 50 yard line for that price. I currently pay $99 per seat for football season ticket. I think the cheapest price is $69. The $900 seat that they mentioned is about where I am sitting right now. Do the math my friend. I don't mind paying more but paying $150 per football game per person when we are playing USD or Cal Poly is too much for most family on average income. I went to the SDSU-Michigan game and didn't have to pay that much. If you are going to conduct a study, instead of asking people if they are going to pay these ridiculous price at least have an option for patient to enter how much they are willing to actually pay. |

The cheapest price mentioned is $900. Do the math my friend. Take another look my friend. The $900 price is not for the lowest priced seat. It's for a lower sideline seat (the yellow colored seats in the seating diagram). Upper sideline and end zone seats should be even cheaper. I was comparing like locations in the Q. I did make a miscalculation in my original post. I have corrected it now. The increase should be 3.6 to 5.8 depending on which side of the field you're sitting on. |

I assume you selected the "Would not purchase" choice. I'm sure they will take your opinion into account. |

I guess everyone's financials are different and everone's situation is different. I just hope that they sampled a wide spectrum of fans to get a true feeling on what people are willing to pay. It's all relative. |

Depending on your response the questions in the survey changed. I believe the cheapest seats were in the upper end zone around $150-$350; can't remember exactly. This is only a survey to collect data. I personally would pay at least equal to what i pay for basketball tickets. It is the price we will pay if we want a new appropriate stadium for SDSU football. The football program should have comparable athletic facilities as the basketball program if we want our football program to maintain its status as one of the best teams in the MWC and G5. Go SDSU WEST! Go AZTECS! |

So long as the stands are closer, and the rise:run are steeper than the Q, it should be a cost-tolerable increase. |

No need for bunched panties. The likelihood of something like this even happening in the next 10 years is close to zero.
Lotta other things gotta fall into place first.
But it's a start.
