It's difficult to get used to the higher cost of everything. One could say "except gas," but when I was starting out as a driver gas was anywhere from $.28 to $.38 a gallon. When it jumped to over $.70, almost over night, it was like a national emergency. Today, $1.89 seems like a steal. Compared to over $3.00, of course, it is (depending on who you believe is doing the stealing).
I was just checking out the single game ticket prices. For the ISU game, tickets are listed at $35-70. (Not sure you could even get the higher priced tix if you wanted them, but that's what it says.)
To a lot of people, $35 is a lot for a UT football ticket. In my mind, yeah, in a way it seems like it. But, have you bought a gallon of good paint lately? You can pay $30-$40 for a gallon of paint--which used to be about 12 bucks. It doesn't seem like it was that long ago that you could get a gallon of good paint for 12 bucks, but lately I sleep more than I used to.
So, with that analogy, if you can get a ticket to a DI football game for the price of a bucket of paint, maybe the price is not so unreasonable after all. Two tickets would be around the price of a bucket of Midnight Blue and a bucket of Rocket Gold.
GO ROCKETS!
SEE YOU AT THE GAME.
