Message: [QUOTE="HRE Otto IV, post: 4152263, member: 5685"] Incorrect Those are state schools that have large loyal fanbases. SU is a small private school. Even when SU is good we struggle to get 75% capacity. Wake and Vandy have cheaper tickets than us. That is a better comparison. Edit Also getting 1000 people at $125 is better for the program than getting 750 people at $225. Having an extra 250 people engaged and creating a bond with the program (future ticket sales / merchandise), buying concessions, and creating a greater home field advantage more than offsets the extra cash. It also helps sell advertising having more people in the Dome. Additionally it creates a smaller barrier for entry for new fans. Obviously if there is a high retention rate in the section, going to $225 is a no brainer. But if people are moving sections, or not renewing then it is a big mistake. [/QUOTE]
