Next time someone complains about "raising the price" of tickets, as them if everyone in their group that is going to be "gouged" is an EC member. I saw someone say somewhere (maybe FB) that their whole group of 10 will not be renewing. If all 10 are EC members and buying their own tickets through the school, there wouldn't be any "price increase". You have one or two EC memberships supporting 10 tickets. Now it will be 10 EC memberships supporting 10 tickets.

Also, McClain said that 57% of ticketholders could actually pay less for the same seats. Those are the ones who haven't been gaming the system.

I have three kids, so premium seats were never in the cards for me. And that’s fine. There are still plenty of seats available without EC membership requirements. People need to understand if you want to get those better seats it’s going to cost more. Especially for a lot of tickets. I think we need more Eagle Club members. They need to market that a lot better. Give us more perks to sign up and stay. And more reasonable points rewards than just a hat.

One possible thing they could do if they wanted to get away from the per seat policy would be to limit how many season tickets you could get for certain donation levels. Carolina does something like that with the Rams club. You can buy as many season tickets as you want. But if you want all of them together in the premium sections, you have to have a certain level of donation. $200 guarantees you four tickets, $500 10 or whatever the numbers need to be. Would limit those who donate $200 to get into the section and then buy up 20 tickets.
