Fwiw.  From the SU  website, I tried to determine how many seats/ season tickets are available for each donation level.

FB A = 4,050
FB B = 3,250
FB C = 2,850
FB D = 2,600
Students = 2,600 (designated)
Upper sides = 16,000
Corners = 9,100
End zone = 7,200 ($125)

I've determined that sell outs of every season ticket and every game would generate about $12M for a 6 game season at the current pricing levels pricing every ticket at $35 a seat.

To really figure this out you need to know the # of FB only, BB only and combined season ticket holders.

I ballparked available  hoops season tickets @

BB A = 6,000 seats
BB B = 2,000 seats
BB C = 2,000 seats
BB D = 3,000 seats

I estimated 7,500 BB only season tickets, 7,500 FB only and 7,500 dual tickets. (This could be waaaay off).

The current structure is

.            FB only       BB only.      Both
A level      $650.          $820.           $865
B level.      425.            610.              640
C level.       270.           380.              395
D level.       190.           260.              295

Based on the breakdown assumptions I made above, you could generate the exact same revenue with the following price structure.

.             FB only.         BB only.         Both
A level.       $350.            $515.          $865
B level.        225.              415.            640
C level.        145.              250.            395
D level.        110.              185.            295

Now, I've made some large assumptions and this is a very rough outline, but this basic concept can be tweaked to the actual breakdown of season tickets.  You can also tweak this to ensure that there are safeguard to prevent a large dump of season tickets.

I also think you would need to combine this with a shrinking of the end zone cheap seats and increase the number of price breaks.

It's just one idea of a plethora of potential adjustments...
