Ticket Price Differences
Posted on 8/18/15 at 8:04 pm

Just looking at my season tickets and noticed that face value ticket prices are different. Mcneese $35, Eastern Michigan $25, Western Kentucky $30,Auburn $95, Florida $80, A&M $85 and Arkansas $75. I know conference games were always higher than non-conference, but is this the first time for all different prices and why?

i think its the 3rd year they have done this. Also baseball has done it for the past couple of years too.

I have a B.S. in Accounting, and I tell you little man, it's something called supply and demand.
What is the customer willing to spend???

Since when is supply and demand an accounting law?
Edit: it makes sense that they charge different prices and the above is correct.. The business of sports/economics

The SEC told universities that they could no longer charge 25$ a ticket (face value) and back charge $$$$ in fees. The gate is split between schools (not 50/50, but it is split). To keep money with the university , schools would put ridiculously low face values on the tickets.

I think they were all $28 a piece when I first bought season tix 16 years ago , someone correct me if I'm wrong but I remember at one time LSU had to get approval from the state legislature to increase ticket prices .....
When they were not successful in getting the vote to raise prices that's when they started with the TAF fees .,,,.

This. The tickets were different prices last year too.

No, it's not the first year they've done this. The reason is pretty simple: people are willing to pay more to see LSU v. Auburn than LSU v. UF this year

No the first time, but it is crazy how shitty the home schedule is making such a disparity in the prices.

It aids tremendously in maximizing the revenue on single game tickets.
