I wasn't complaining about the cost of SU tickets. I think they are a good deal. I was making an observation on the old tickets, which were an even better deal. What doesn't make sense to me is that the deal has gotten worse despite the lower demand and poor product.

Shouldn't all of those costs rise proportionally with inflation? Why would they go up at a higher rate?

Food/beverage costs should be recouped via the price for the products not the tickets.

I think that section (304) for $37.50 a game is a little expensive given the product. It probably should be at $33.33 a game. That isn't a huge difference though. For a family of four that is $100 a year.

IMO all sports tickets are out of whack. I think there is an industry wide problem. Most teams are not at an optimal tickets price for revenues IMO. In addition, you need people in seats to help your team win. These teams are making millions of dollars off of TV. Ticketing is no longer the primary source of income. So why not make sure you are at 90% capacity in lieu of an extra few bucks. Sports are communal, taking advantage of the fans and being greedy is not good.
