Should do this for every game. The atlanta pricing works well. I spend more easily.

Agreed. I easily spend an extra $10 when the prices are cheaper.

I'm seriously considering putting together a letter/email outlining the Atlanta pricing effect to send to the Bucks folks and seeing how many people we can get to flood their inboxes. I was waiting 'til the season ends.

Any takers?

I'm down. I look at the $9 dollar tab and maaaaaaaybe buy a single beer, and go drink before or after the game. I see a $2 dollar beer and im buying until they close. Every tv timeout I'd be out there.

Cool!  I'll be in attendance for my first Marquette home game since March 1991. 
Looking forward to it.

Interesting to see if the Atlanta thinking spreads. You would think if they really wanted to expand the use of the facility they would open it up with more sales at lower prices instead of trying to milk every drop out of limited sales.

Have you ever been to the Master's?  And bought something at their concession areas?

sandwiches priced between $1.50 - 3.00. 
I did a chicken wrap, grilled chicken sandwich with a beer for under $8.
Although I heard they recently raised the price for an imported beer to over $3

Something about Georgia and cheap concessions.

I went to one Master's (2008) and I was floored by the low concession prices. Really a pleasant surprise. They do make it up with some expensive souvenirs, but nobody makes you buy a Master's polo shirt. Still, even the hats, IIRC, were quite a bit cheaper than MLB ballpark prices.

Given that selling concessions is a business, I'm surprised more places didn't jump all over the Atlanta model when they showed it led to significantly increased revenues. A 16% jump in revenues with no big upfront investment?

I'm very surprised by how they keep trying to raise prices on concessions when it been proven to lead to lower revenue.

If it takes $2 beers to motivate the students to come out, then do it every game!

What were the price of beers in 1989 at the BC?  I am guessing $1.

Good.  Now all I have to do is find those students to buy them beers.   Geezers from the 80s rule man.  Last time I was there I found a Philosophy major.  Score!  He was worth a beer.  Now I'm so old I can walk into a Marquette bar and talk with the girls and not get any weird looks since I have daughters older than them!

Yep. I haven't bought any food or drinks at the BC in years, mostly because of the exorbitant prices. Always before or after for me.

According to this recent article from jsonline, while sales and revenue went up in Atlanta, profits actually went down.  So maybe that's why everyone isn't jumping on this model

Atlanta lost a little bit of money on each sale, but they made up for it in volume.

Would you tip concessions workers on a normal day or only with special pricing like this?

At the BC, the concessions' workers are all volunteers.  I always over tip for the cause.
