Yep. The casual fan thinks the first level and low upstairs between the 20's are the "good" seats and those are $75 - $150 seats. So just taking your wife, son or friend is $150 - $300 before you have even parked, eaten or drank.

Then you can look at the flip side and not charge single games with the prorated donation. I'm sure SU has looked at this. That would be $30 per ticket. That would be much more palatable for the casual fan and I'm sure they'd sell a lot more. But then you run the risk of losing donors. It's one thing to have the one off game where that happens. But if all season long, the donor who paid for his seats at the $30 cost of the ticket plus $300 - $600 per seat donation has a person next to him who paid $30, you ask yourself if it's worth it. Some would be likely to screw the donation and just buy game to game. The University has to treat their donors fairly.

So there are 3 choices. Do nothing and hope we become a consistent 9-3/10-2 team that might draw crowds and more season ticket holders or do one of two other things. Charge individual games at just the ticket price and put the onus of over paying on the donor, or blow the whole thing up and put the onus on themselves. It's their University, their team, their product. The onus should be on SU.   I'll get off the high horse now.
