Considering the trash home games we are getting, seems a little steep, i’d like to see it be 10% the next 2 years, then 20% all at once.Your post is confusing. You say the increase "seems a little steep," but then propose a 40% increase over 3 years instead. 10% for each of the next two years and then another 20%. |

I think he meant to use "than", not "then". I thought about that. But in that case I'd expect him to say something like "I'd rather see..." instead of "I'd like to see..." I know the misuse of "then" in place of "than" is epidemic, but it can lead to saying something completely different than intended. Unfortunately I can only go by what was actually written. |

I cringe typing this because it’s likely to go off of the rails, but it’s not only germane to the topic but more importantly casual.
When your government runs massive deficits and your central bank not only enables them but encourages them to do so, this is what you get…

Wait till you see the prices if these players ever become “employees”.

Why would I say it’s steep and then suggest more?That's why I said your post was confusing. I'm hardly a grammar Nazi. You did not make a grammar error. You used the wrong word, which made your comment mean the exact opposite of what you were trying to say. Thank you for clarifying what you meant. |

so is a possibility to have a larger facility - that includes the " suites " and bigger facility that might need to be in the area closer to Snapdragon - build it soon so the current facility can still be used until the new one becomes a reality

20% feels excessive no matter how we've finished the last two years. I love supporting this program but other than Gonzaga, I would hopefully expect some teams of note besides them and the annual parade of California State schools.
Having "great" tickets are becoming more and more unaffordable for us non-corporate entities. $1,100 increase for us, that's brings cost up to an average of $190 per seat for the likes of St Katherines, Point Loma Nazarenes and UCSDs. And these aren't on Gucci row either. Almost $400 a game for "regular" people feels like this may be our swan song.
Let's throw in the $18 beers and the crappy food choices too. I know nobody reading this gives a sh*t but after 27 years of season tickets, I guess all good things eventually come to an end. And get those damn kids off my lawn!

Prices are going to climb until SDSU is able to build a bigger facility with Suites , more seats and parking to ease the crunch with the current limited amount of seats
So until a facility is built - maybe at Snapdragon - ticket prices are going to go higher
Not sure who makes the decision but it sure seems as that might be the best way - also could mean larger size crowds for basketball and other events that might bring in additional revenue

Better get up in the morning and start collecting cans and bottles...you should be able to recoup the increase by November  |

Sadly, this is the price of playing with the "Big Boys" of the CBB world. |

If any of the increase was going to NIL, I would be happy to pay more. So far I don't see any benifit to the players.

Ability to afford the best coaching staff possible, team training & support facilities, athletic dept staff who help the players with tutoring etc. for their studies... and so on... how do you think that stuff gets paid for?
