I have a collage of old tickets that I used to make a 44. Out of curiosity I checked the ticket prices.

The section I used to sit in was upperdeck sidelines. Now those tickets cost $225 each for the season. Back in:

2002 we had 6 games and it cost $140 for the entire season. Most games were about $25 each with the FCS game at $10. The product is way worse now so how do you explain an increase of 60% in 12 years?

2003 we had 7 games costing $185. Most games were about $25 each and the ND game was almost $40. We didn't play an FCS so that coupled with the extra game and ND explains the $45 increase. Even with the extra game those tickets were about 80% of this year's 6 game schedule.

2004 we only played 5 home games. Games were up to $30 each with FSU being $44, so the total cost was $160. Not sure why the price per game went up $5 a game. Maybe it was because the prior years were under priced? Despite the 20% increase vs the prior years, those tickets were 75% of today's price.

I had prior years as well but those above were the most recent in the collage. If you notice those are all pre TGD. I have to think he is largely to blame for the out of whack prices. The prices have been pretty steady the last few years. So that means the price hike happened during the GRob years, which were the worst in program history.
