No way in hell I'd pay more than $100 for a football game, that is just rediculus!
I've never understood how people can shell out that much for tickets to anything. Sit in uncomfortable seats for a couple hours then go home - what the hell is the attraction??
There are enough people for whom $1000 is like $20 for you to fill stadiums.
It’s a good gauge of changes in income inequality, because the supply is inelastic - the stadiums can’t expand to hold more people, but ticket prices can change according to what the top 1% are willing to pay.
I'm glad my favorite bands sell tickets in the $20-50 range. Though I almost always get a T-shirt or something, and maybe a drink, the total night out is under $200. I just couldn't justify spending more than that.
Festival style concerts. I'm not going to as many these days, and they were much cheaper back in my day, but I'd certainly pay a hundred bucks for a day or two's worth of music hanging out with people and so forth.
Agree.
it appears to barbaric, act FirstRand never think mentality... as does most sports.
UGA UGA team win, play strong go sport!
As someone who's not into sports at all, I'd not pay over $20, even that feels a lot. I do love music live shows and festivals but I'd not pay $100 for anything less than a 3 day festival with lots of good bands.
Haha oh let me really blow your mind - this is for an NCAA game. These ticket prices aren't even for pro team.
There is no sport, pro, college or otherwise that is worth that price to watch a game.
College football is generally only behind the NFL on ratings. This was also in Texas, where some highschool teams get attendance numbers that are comparable to pro baseball.
I live in Indiana. One of our "bragging rights" is that ten of the top twelve largest high school basketball arenas are here. The largest can sit about 8,500.
While I'm having trouble finding a definitive nationwide list, the tenth largest high school football stadium in Texas can fit nearly double that.
Longhorns are a different breed man
yup. this is texas. the longhorns are the pros.
I knows it’s not apples to apples, but my football (soccer) team were charging £40 for the first home game of the season and I just refuse to pay that much. £30 for me is the max I’d pay and that’s only for the “big” games like local derbies
