season ticket talk

[sonofdaxjones]

Just chop off the whole top deck. How many people are up there anyway?

Denied.

 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.

Smdh @ the image shaming in that post

[sonofdaxjones]

I cannot imagine being the least bit concerned about seating capacity in this, the year of our Flying Spaghetti Monster 2021. 

[Spracne]

Body shaming the penile challenged?

Maybe put a nice fall crop up there like they did at the old stadium. Milo would be beautiful.

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.

 We forgot to renew our season tix on time last year (were debating upgrading), and ended up just buying the two 3-game packages instead. Saved a boatload of money and enjoyed our SEZ seats just fine.

Thinking about doing the same this season.

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

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 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.

Yes I know because those are the seats that I was looking at.

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.

Yeah, that's probably what I'll end up doing. I just can't decide if it's worth it to get the season or just buy there for the games I'm coming back for.

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.

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.

Wait a second.

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.

Okay
