Message: [QUOTE="Jake, post: 1885947, member: 86"] Okay, I've been looking at ticket pricing structure (and there is a boatload of factors at play here), and the first thing that needs to be addressed is the donation level...specifically the discount for having both FB and BB season tickets. They need to away with the discount...and can do it without increasing to cost of owning both. But they need to properly "weight" the cost of owning each in the current pricing structure. The cost of FB will be "x", the cost of BB will be "y"... And the cost of both will be "x" + "y"...which is equal to the current cost of owning both. It's simple stats. This will reduce the cost of owning just one set of tickets...which should increase FB sales specifically and reduce the amount they need to recoup on individual ticket sales. Right now A level BB ticket owners only pay an extra $45 to own both sports. Why not buy both and either sell or give the FB tickets away. It begs for people do not feel obligated to go to FB games. Also, If my blood money is only 300 person FB season ticket, I only need to divide that by each game to add to the base ticket price on the single ticket market to break even. Then you offer a 10-15% discount to the single game buyer to get their ass in that seat. Season ticket holders won't begrudge paying 20-15% more to guarantee their seat and receive a tax break. Second item needs to be reducing the #of $125 season tickets...and spread the potential increase in revenue to other seats in the dome. Lastly they need more pricing levels...by having only four, the price breaks are too dramatic. You can't have people sitting next to each other paying hundreds of dollars difference per season. It's bad business. I've sort of noticed that there are some "a" and "b" level seats right next to each other. They need not worry about what yard line you are sitting in and make the price breaks where the aisles / stairs are. Lots of this stuff has been ignored for years, and the result is people cramming the end zone and season ticket holders who think they are getting such a great deal by owning both sports, not showing up for one whole season.
