The $100 end zone seats are $16.75/Game this year for 6 home games.  If you can't pack the end zones for that price, guess what...you aren't going to sell those very same seats at $35/Game.  I sit there so I know and see that there are plenty of seats available, perceived value or not.   People don't see the REAL value right now.

I ask different people every week including family and offer my extras for FREE and they won't go.

I guarantee that you will lose 40-50% of your end zone buyers with that example of pricing.   I would still buy my 6 seasons at $125/Season  each but not if you double them to $35/game which brings them all to $210/Season doubling my price.

For Comparison
Option 1 - $600 = affordable (100/season x6)
Option 2 - $1260 = not affordable (210/season x6)
Option 3 - $0 = Sitting at home watching on my 60" TV with surround sound

Make no mistake, #3 is the biggest competition that any team in athletics has and for that difference in pricing I would choose #3 and pick an choose a game or 2 I really wanted to go see just like most of this town does now.

If it is about increasing revenue, that's one thing...then do everything to that end and maximize profits at the expense of the fans.  Seems that this has been the MO for just about forever.  SU seems to be happy with the money and the fan turnout to this point as it hasn't changed.

If it is about packing the Dome and the fan experience...again do everything to that end.  Don't do it half-ass, change the pricing structure across the board.   Keep the cheap end zone seats, it's clearly working.  Change the rest of the pricing everywhere else as well as the donation structures.
