Thanks for admitting you were wrong

LSU places students at the 20 yard line in the first 20 rows. They sale that package for like $100 for the entire season.
What is the market value for that ticket per game? WAY MORE THAN $100. If supply and demand was the driver of ticket prices, LSU would charge more for that ticket. True or false? Extremely simple question, requires a one word answer.
Note: you are the only one arguing supply and demand is what drives ticket prices.

I don’t live near any of the sporting events I would want to go to. Only go to a few a year.
So selfishly, it benefits the people who only go to a few games each year in person. They can make it as nice as they want, it makes the once a year trip better.
If I lived nearby and it was a more frequent thing, I’m sure the cost would be more annoying.

absolutely you are right on that, but answer me this...does LSU make up for that with marketing from the experience and gain more students, many from OOS, that makes the school more money overall?
and again....what about the rest of the stadium? why are you ignoring the other 80% and focusing on the small section that has other reasons behind the cost? why are you ignoring the fees the students pay on the front end, the marketing gained, etc?

Possibly. What you are asking is do they deviate from supply and demand principles because there are other market factors to evaluate. The answer to that is definitively yes. Disapproving your original statement, that you’ve been trying to defend while arguing against yourself. Including here.

There are tickets that are “given away” as part of a sponsorship package, so yes, the rest of the stadium is not beholden to supply and demand principles. And as you said, outside of about 30 programs, the seats are not full and students have to subsidize the team. But tickets are still sold with a minimum face value to consumers. Ie moving the y axis (price) of a supply and demand curve vertical artificially. If supply and demand principles ruled the day, the tickets would continue to decrease in price. Again, another argument you made disproving your original point.

So dont buy a $15 coke. Its not that hard to go 3 hours without food or drink and there's usually very good food options outside the stadium for standard pricing
If I'm going to a sporting event, I'm having a couple of cold beers and a hotdog. And my kids are going to want popcorn/hotdog/ice cream, etc. It's part of the experience and it makes it way more fun for them than just sitting and watching the game with nothing.
Some arenas have implemented much cheaper pricing (Falcons). It can be done.

they do continue to decease in price. every year in OOC games....tickets about 2-3 days before the game are dropped big time to try and get them to sell.
sure having student tickets and them not being beholden to pure S&D and having other market factors at play does move the price axis as you mentioned but S&D principles still are at play.
that is seen in OOC games. the problem is people on here want the price to go down for the big games...well that isnt going to happen because too many people are willing to pay the higher price.

All resale market, not what we’re talking about

What good, modern stadiums, like the Battery, offer are OPTIONS. Different price points for seating and eating. You can get a cheap seat and spring for a hotdog and a domestic beer OR you can purchase box seating at multiple price points or go to restaurants on site from expensive steak restaurants to pizza joints.

You can get $10 seats at Astros games.
Sure, you’ll be on the upper level outfield, but that’s cheap.

I agree, go back and look at the games from the 80’s, doesn’t matter the sport. The diehard fans are all close to the court or field. Now those seats are all corporate people who come late and leave early.

Diehards need to get their money up

This is what I hate the most. It cheapens the atmosphere on TV too. Some crowds used to be amped up for damn near every game. Now, we have a place like Tiger Stadium that is jacked maybe once or twice a year depending on the schedule.
NBA crowds seem very pathetic these days.
