Ill tell you after all my fees, my tickets came out to be $200 per game per seat. Its not out of the question to ask fir $300 a ticket for the tamu game. Biggest game on schedule. So selling at face value would put me in the hole big time.

Nobody gives a rats arse what your tickets cost you.
Only thing that matters is what the market is willing to pay.

Season tickets are a losing financial proposition. I'll likely be buying some next year knowing that quite well. You will probably find someone foolish enough to pay that but people will easily be able to get good seats for face value.

I think this is what helps contribute to the empty seats. Season ticket holders shell out big money for the season, coming out to an astronomical amount per game when you factor in TAF fees. Then when they want to sell, nobody is willing to pay what a season ticket holder paid ($150+) for a single ticket. The ticket holder either sells at a lower price, doesn't find a buyer, or doesn't make an effort to sell at all. The buyer probably denies the $150 price point and gives up, not realizing it's not a big risk to show up on gameday and finding a cheap ticket.
