Got an e-mail from a co-worker who is a ku grad:
---------------------------------------------------------------
I have three little kids. My son is five; my middle daughter is four and youngest daughter is 4 months old. My two oldest kids love KU and love to go to Lawrence to see where their parents went to school. So the other day I get an e-mail from KU Athletics advertising the September 6, 2014 game. It’s against Mary’s School for the Blind Beauticians, so I think, “Hey, my kids would enjoy the trip to KU, plus the ‘Hawks might win.” I call the KU ticket office and ask about tickets. They give the prices, which varied depending upon the seats. Then the ticket guy says, “The best deal we have is a family four pack. You get four tickets to all the home games, two adults and two student/kids tickets for $350.00. And we have an agreement StubHub, so you can sell your tickets. And we play Texas and OSU at home this year, so if you sell those tickets, you’ll probably get your money back.” Now, admittedly I bought the season tickets, thinking this is an excuse to go up to Lawrence with my family. But what I took away from the conversation was, 1) KU football sucks so much that four tickets to all the home games are only worth $350.00; and 2) KU football sucks so much that you should buy season tickets so you can sell them to fans of teams that want to come watch their team kick the tar out of KU, so you can make money. Making money off misery: makes me proud to be a Jayhawk.
