Just curious to see if any of you know how much money SDSU makes on each home basketball game at Viejas arena. Also, how much money does SDSU make during concerts?
You've got to think that between SDSU basketball and the concerts, SDSU should make about $1 million a year of these events.

Don't know for certain but I'm pretty sure the concert money goes to AS. Also, athletics has to pay AS to use Viejas for basketball.

Um, well, 12,414 at an average price of $35 is about $310,000 gross before concessions. Um. Do the food vendors pay rents?
A sell out home game after insurance, rent, wages, security, supplies etc. must net somewhere between $250k and $300k a home game. Ya think?

HAM average ticket price isn't anywhere close to 35 bucks, at least half that when you have a couple thousand 99/14-16 season game tickets and nearly 3k free student/band/dance team tickets. Throw in donation money going directly to the Aztec club, we're talking more like a third. Also, when I was in college I worked for BofA and AS used to make the concessions deposit, but that was when attendance was in the 7k range and there was beer, so who knows how different it is now, but it was 60-80k for a weekend/weekday game week. |

3k=free
1-2k =7 buck a game tickets
half the arena is 'paying' 3 bucks average a ticket; or a third is paying 2 bucks average a ticket. We'd be better off selling single seats than offering 99 dollar season seats
