FCS Ticket prices

Post by GRIZ MOBSTER »

I am curious as to how much other teams charge for standard ticket prices. At the University of Montana they have gotten out of hand. The cheapest seats for a regular season game are $30.00 and the cheapest ticket price for homecoming is $50.00 a piece. This is why we don't schedule FBS games anymore because at these ticket prices for an average of 25,000+ fans a game the University makes a lot of money. The University won't even discuss a game against an FBS school unless the payout is at least $500,000, and would probably need to be closer to $750,000 or higher to accept.

Old Dominion set a season ticket price of $120 figuring there would be 6 home games. We ended up with 7 when the schedule was completed but the price stayed the same since they already sold season tickets. I expect ticket prices to go up next year to at least $20 per game as was first intended. Once CAA play starts, I expect that certain games (CAA-Virginia Schools) could be more expensive than others (CAA-non-Virginia and Non-Conf).

Welcom Mobster. Since you are new I'll just let you know that us Griz fans have talked til' we're blue in the face to the other schools patrons about why we don't have to go play the FBS games and they can't quit whining about how they go out prove their mettle. Just sayin' you're gonna be in a pissing match bringing that up. :lol:

OT, but worth mentioning for laughs, The University Of Colorado ( :lol: ) is offering bundles of four tickets for ten dollars each for this Saturday's game against Wyoming at Folsom Field.

At Weber its $50 for a GA season tkt. A GA per game is $10 but most if not all games you can find coupons for $5 tkts. We also averaged under 7,000 p/game, so not filling the stadium quite yet.

You can get a family pack GA tkts - 6 for $100. We have 5 home games.

$37 will get you in the lower level of PGE Park near PSU's bench. $22 will get you in the upper level. $12 I believe is the cost of general admission, which puts you behind the end zone, both lower and upper. The corporate boxes are used by various businesses for all PGE events, not just PSU games. The four rows of seats high on the Multnomah Athletic Club are free for members of the MAC only and are not for sale to the public.

At ASU, it's $25 for any seat or the hill, save the "gold seats", club seats, and boxes. I'm not big on charging folks on the hill the same price as a seat, but if people will pay it...

Youngstown State Ticket Prices
Reserved: $16
General Admission: $12

Go to the link below to click on views from each section. On most days, you can buy a GA ticket and sit towards the top of the Reserved sections. Nothing like watching a game from row 60 on the 50 yard line.

That is very high for an FCS team, but you guys and just a few others are in a unique situation- you are the state flagship school. Most state flagship schools are FBS. If you compare your ticket prices to those of other state flagship schools, then your ticket prices fall in line (i.e.- try getting a ticket to University of Florida or Virginia Tech home games- $50 would b e a steal).

Harvard charges $15 per ticket, except for the Yale game, which is about double that.

Purely because of liability and hold harmless agreements I assume?

North Dakota charges $18 for a single game ticket.

Season tix range from $75 between the 40's to $40 for alongside the endzones (no endzone seating).

We average a little over 10,000 in a 12,000 seat stadium.
