$115 a ticket for the away center upper deck for Oregon State. They keep saying they have listened to fans and adjusted prices but I don’t think they understand how cheap Aztec fans are.

Thats why i only watch TV. I’m not driving 2 plus hours, paying rediculous parking fees, way over priced tickets and food. And then drive back. Totally absurd.Besides, if they stink up the game, I can turn the channel. Worked great for me last year.  |

Or they just understand that most one-off fans will buy the cheapest ($62) ticket they can find and then sit wherever the !@#$ they want. Well, except for sitting in the Gucci levels.
Those seats are still off-limits to anyone without real funny money.
And they'll continue to wonder why the don't get more than 15-18k at a game (counting the 5k students) Duh.
It's discouraging at best.
But patience is necessary, tickets for Hawaii are only $44.85! and 'only' $40 for the Bobos…

Mathematically I understand the pricing, it’s a dollar optimization model not a attendance optimization model.
$62.50 is the cheapest ticket and that’s a bit perplexing at first blush. Let’s see what ticket sales are this week. I suspect it won’t be much different than last week or maybe a smidge higher and they will earn much more than week 1 and $ wise it will be a success.
I wonder if they will loosen the $ optimization once they start collecting $5M plus from mls.

What do you think the tickets should be priced at keeping in mind we are in a new state of the art $310 million stadium vs. one that was falling apart? Furthermore, what price would you jump in on Season tickets? Seems to me there’s a price point for all who wish to support the program.

I'm sure they have models for pricing and according to the computers this gives them the most dollars. I just think you need to put a human touch on it also. If you lower the price of admission, you get more parking revenue. You also get far more concession revenue, and people also have a better time and will want to come back if it's a packed stadium.
A 25 year old alumni making 50-60k per year isn't going to want to pay $65 just for entry for a football game. When I was 25 (8 years ago) I would pay $15-20 for Qualcomm tickets and sit wherever I wanted and it was awesome. I ended up drunkenly spending $100 anyway because of all the beers and concessions, and I'd always bring at least 6-8 of us in a group and we'd all do the same. If tickets were $65 just to get in, I guarantee we wouldn't have gone to the games in the first place
And that isn't even an example of a family going to the games...

The entire upper deck shouldn’t cost more than going out to a movie. The lower bowl can have “premium” pricing. I am excited at the direction of the program but the casual fan isn’t paying over $100 to watch a program that has struggled recently. |

At least not as often as he did back in ancient times. $18+ for adults $15 plus for kids. That's for one movie. We got double features back then for under $1. |

Aztec football is a different story. |
