1.2 million
WKU with our 18k
2.1 million
What does that tell you?
FREEBIES and a ton of them for ASU...HEY GATES OPEN lets go in. Either that or ASU gave anyone who returned a coke can a ticket.
Or maybe...some fudging is going on with that 26,000 lots and lots of it
I'd be careful continuing to link statistics involving our football team. The last couple were debunked on our board with explanations of why they look that way.
Always some excuse?
At ASU we don't show our numbers
At ASU we don't have to report like everyone else
At ASU we have more money we just don't like showing people
All I see is excuses and no matter if ASU isn't reporting everything...
what you did report shows you are selling tickets for on average less than $8.
This is freaking hilarious. WKU home of the $25 season ticket is giving someone gruff about cheap tickets.
Just looking at your seating chart. The equivalent to my seat at Centennial Bank costs $150 with a $175 donation at WKU. My seat costs $175 with a $200 minimum donation per seat.
You can troll and believe what you want.
USA Today says AState had $400k from the booster club. The Booster Club tax return signed under penalty of perjury says they brought in just over $3 million and spent most of that.
Writer for the Jonesboro Sun told me last year he was going to expose AState padding attendance. Never wrote the story. Know why? He looked at the books. This is the guy who FOI'd the attendance at the freaking Spring Game and wrote an article claiming spring attendance was over-stated based on gate receipts even though everyone under age 18 was admitted free and there were no receipts to count for them.
Since you are the real finance expert and know so much more. Please explain to us why with your new found wealth in CUSA the Toppers were forced to drop a sport because of budget problems.
Show it...
should be very easy for you.
I guess it one of those double secret type of deal that only ASU does? Look I showed what ASU reported and all you are doing is running off at the mouth with nothing in print.
Even if ASU "hides" their money what they did report shows...a lack of increase since 2006. So let me guess this all changed after 2006..after that we got all of this double secret reporting of the numbers by ASU
SHOW ME THE MONEY....should be a simple thing for someone as well connected as you.
I showed you my chart
for a man connected like you this should be easy...surely in one of the meeting you have with the president and ad at asu they can give you something
2006 ASU's attendance was 95344 (19,069) take away 3500 for students for a total of 17,500 for the 5 games
Now we have a paid attendance of 77,844 for 2006
ASU reported ticket sales rounded up to 1.5 million dollars
1.5mil / 77844 = a average cost of $19.20 for each ticket sold
Now to the year in question (in the chart)
ASU had a average of 26,398 and a total of 158388 in attendance
ASU reported 1.3 million in ticket sales $8.20 a ticket
I will repeat one of three things happened
1. tons of major discounted tickets...$1 night
2. fudging the numbers
3. both
2006 attendance
