I feel like not having the sun in my face on those early season kicks will be such a luxury.
The shade from the press box is amazing. I moved out of section 2 a few years ago.

I imagine it would be significantly less rowdy over there amongst all the old tucks. Is it less rowdy? :users:

I just renewed and my anecdotal evidence is that season tickets will be down pretty significantly because I got over in to Section 2 after not making the season ticket renewal deadline and they had multiples together all over the place.

Probably were being delivered by a drone. Might have been shot down/hijacked. :dunno:

I started out in the student section, then went to the east side upper deck as an alumni, then west side south goal line, then west side north 15 yard line. Now... I'll have to start over, but such is life.

I wouldn't worry, I see plenty of season ticket availability on the K-State Football horizon. Single games are a breeze now, and will likely just get easier as the long term mediocrity fully sets in.

While I hate comparisons to other schools, I think it is appropriate to note that we're not alone by any respect. Lotta money spent at a lot of schools for very mediocre to moderate needle moving results.
I've been in Athens, Auburn and Tuscaloosa in the last 2 months and seen all of their latest work and been to games at all three. K-State exceeds all but Auburn and their brand new football complex from a players amenities perspective. The renovations and additions at Buttes-Mare (Georgia) and the Mal Moore Building (Alabama) are really nice, but neither building is as impressive as the VFFC. K-State meets (on the East side) and exceeds with WSC and now the Shamrock Zone all the suites and clubs available at all three stadiums at this point in time.

There’s also a reason they’re now chasing higher end non con home and homes, instead of the neutral site high end non con games they’ve been doing.
They’re advertising on the LED advertising boards along the Interstates.
In a perfect world the East Side is totally rebuilt and the upper level redesigned. Seating capacity reduced to 47,500 and an intense focus on fan experience across the board. Upper level gets same restroom and concessions access as lower level. Seating capacity “wars” are over. Drive a higher end fan experience across all ticket levels. K-State is close to doing that, one more step.
Post by: TheHamburglar on July 18, 2021, 10:21:48 PM
Those seats in the upper corners are terrible. I’m all for selling those as $99 season tickets for the next 15 years then re-evaluating.

Stademonger’s ruling:
In order to be a big-time modern football stadium, it must have permanent bleachers on all four sides of the field and have at least one side with a decent-sized upper deck accessible to low-to middle income fans. Minimum is 15 rows — anything less is small-timey and embarrassing. Yes, the seating capacity arms race is pretty much over, there’s no argument about that. But there’s a limit to that, and as conference NCAA realignment rears its ugly and inevitable head again, it would be nice to be able to say that our stadium isn’t a laughable <50,000.

No one besides the penile challenged fan is going to give a single eff if the stadium seats 47,500. No one cares about that anymore as more and more schools struggle to fill their overbuilt stadiums.

I know I'm coming back for multiple games but can't decide if I should get season tix or just buy them for each game. I know going forward I'll want to come back more often which is why not sure if I should establish the tix now or just wait.What's that Ahearn Fund look like? Would you be able to break even on selling your tickets to an EMAW the weeks you aren't gonna be in town?

Well I was looking at the west side and it's a $1300 per ticket donation. Which is fine, but probably wouldn't be able to break even since the tickets are $400 a piece. I have always been in the south endzone for the most part or the student section but I don't want to deal with the sun and junk now, also want a better view then the endzone.

I have absolutely zero idea how expensive actual tickets are since we are still getting young alum tickets at a very cheap rate. My requirements are that as long as we are in the shade then that's all I care about. FWIW the Young Alum tickets did go up about $100 thanks to last years success but I am not complaining.
Just work 1 more hour this week and it should cover that extra cost :kstategrad:

That donation level is for like 5% of the available tickets on the west side. The west side donations start at $50 and progressively go up the closer you get to the 50. As far as making money on resales go :lol: that's not a thing. The only team left in the conference that provides resale value is OU. K-State fans generally won't pay much over face value for resale tickets, even on the west side. I wouldn't include that in the equation.

Well, I'll tell you that you probably won't like those seats. That donor level is primarily for the permanent chair backs and the leg room is significantly less than the bench seats. Get a bench seat, with a smaller donor level and add a cat cushion, you'll be much happier.

Ive bought season tickets just to feel cool the last few years. I don’t live anywhere near Manhattan so me and the Mrs. typically just go to one game and sell the rest. Every year we’ve done it (either 3 or 4 now) we’ve made a net profit off the tickets.I know I'm coming back for multiple games but can't decide if I should get season tix or just buy them for each game.

Obviously I wouldn’t count on that in any given year, but at this point it’s honestly the only reason I still do season tickets. We’ve never lost money on the deal.

Not counting the East side club. There are 15 publicly available sections on the East Side. 4/15 have 100% mandatory donation seats, 5/15 have 75% mandatory donation seats, 6/15 have 25% mandatory donation seats.
That's way more than 5% of the West side seating. Just sayin . . .

Dax, that 5% was a very rough estimate of how many west side seats are left at that specific $1300 donor level. If what I saw when I did seat selection in May is any indication there might be even less of those seats available, all of section 5 and most of sections 4 and 6, there were just scattered singles. I've tried to move into those sections for years, even a bit higher in 7 and I haven't been able to.
