And now he’s increasing our season tickets by a “modest” $8 per ticket, per game. Fire STF

Plus, you need to pay extra for parking no matter how much you donate to the HAF or how many premium benefits you purchase. To park in west lot A, it’s an additional $1,000 just to park your car. Yes, you literally have to pay $1,000 just to park your car there.

When I cancelled my season tickets, I gave them more than an earful of everything on my mind. I used to donate thousands annually and much more for the big projects. I’m sure the arse who heads Athletics could not care less.

We did seem to lose a lot of people right after they jacked up the ticket prices, and from your comments, lots of other stuff as well. This was before the state budget issues IIRC (at least, the ticket prices0. They just got greedy (in addition to either incompetence or laziness in handling an athletic program). I'm still getting football season tickets but it gets depressing with the low turnout on both sides of the stadium.

How much do season tickets come out to per seat?

Honestly, I'm betting its still way below the average college football game ticket so, some of the pushback on ticket increase is a bit due to being used to low prices and are not fully aware of the (still) low prices.

But, yeah...when the product and experience is declining and prices are increasing, it's a hard sell and people have one real way to use their voice (that really matters) and that is by not spending their money.

I get that prices go up. Its natural. The can't stay stagnant for ever. Prices on goods goes up, operating costs go up, and so that is always reflected in the price on attendance. However, when you are cutting corners and or just turning a blind eye to obvious negatives and then just expect to raise prices, there are going to be consequences.

For the most part, people will gradually pay more for the same product. But people will grow tired real fast for paying more for a lesser product and everything that goes into visiting both Huskie Stadium and The Convo have either been stagnant or declining.

With that said, there are improvements in both locations. But not enough for everyone and not enough to offset the declines.

And this has nothing to do with the product on the field but it does have an effect.

It was the single-game tickets at the time. I remember my brother-in-law being shocked at how much they went up by. So it wasn't a matter of the prices going up, but how much they increased by in a short time. I don't know what's happened to single game tickets since then as I've been getting season tickets.
