New Arena Ticket Update

[DienerTime34]

The pair of lower-bowl corners I paid about $1,600 for last season are now $1,800 or $2,000, depending on how close to the court. That's an increase of 12% and 25%.

[fjm]

Recent grads see no price increase. Will likely move more mid court as it shows a maybe $50 increase.

[LoudMouth]

Shockingly very reasonable...especially as a recent grad  

[Mr. Nielsen]

Upper bowl cost is the same!!! 

[MUfan12]

Upper bowl cost is the same!!! 

From my perspective, 441's angle at the BC is what 221 would be at the WESC. $275 vs. $450. Not quite the same.

[muguru]

Absolutely RIDICULOUS that they charge more for an aisle seat..My cost goes up for that reason alone...I mean are the damn things made of gold or what?? A seat is a seat.

[Dr. Blackheart]

A lot more choices which is great.  My sideline seats went down (yes down) -17% or went up +23% depending on my choices.

Clubs require a $12K or $4k donation.  Yikes!  I will be joining the Doubles Club at the Brat House.

MU AD did a nice job monetizing the selections via segmentation.

If there is no value in the aisle seat for you then don't pay for it. I suspect you are upset because there is value you just don't want to pay for it. Typical millennial

that's what I'm seeing as well.  Overall the prices seem reasonable (full season for $125 still), but the shift in sections gives me the tough decision of worse view or minimum 40% increase.

Hardly a millennial! There is value, GREAT value, just wondering why a few sections of the uppers are more for aisle's and others aren't??

Why should I HAVE to pay more for an aisle seat?? Didn't at the BC...if anything they should be less, because you have to constantly get up to let others in the rwo get out during play.

How do these prices compare with our on-campus arena?

Have you heard of supply and demand? You say an aisle seat has great value and there are fewer of them then non-aisle seats ergo.......

this is dumb.  you only HAVE to pay more for an aisle seat if you choose to.  If you see negative value in an aisle seat requiring you to let people in - then choose the very center of the row.

Here is last years map for comp.

Assuming behind the south basket folks (101,102,206-208) will just bleed out into corners now. So take that into account if you were in corners before, more.

It was a thing in the survey. I was one that said, I was willing to pay tons more for an aisle seats. Less aisle seats is the new arena.

[muguru]

But I always thought most people prefer being more in the middle of a row..again, why are aisles more in sections 207-209,221-223, but nowhere else in the upper level?? What makes THOSE aisles seats more special then the others in the upper level?? That's all I'm asking..

[Mr. Nielsen]

I was in section 442 at the BC. I understand what your saying.

-There are less of them
-Leg room
-People would rather be center court than corners/end zones on the upper level
-Easy access to concessions
-Those seats always went the fastest in the reseating process in the old stadium

[McLintock]

This isn't rocket science.  The people in the upstairs corners are either cheap, lacking in resources or, most likely, simply aren't willing to pay any more than they already are for their season tickets.  Ergo, no aisle premium there.

[muguru]

I guess I do remember that question, but...as I asked before Nielsen, and you should know, why are aisles more only in those sections, and not every section in the upper bowl?? That seems weird to me

[fjm]

Ok that is a fair point.

The Coors light new grad section last year was where the "upper corners" or sections 211 / 212 are this year. That now costs $275.

So to sit in the same spot? Sure going to cost more.
But the prices are significantly better than I expected.

Guru I'm even surprised you're looking at tickets after last year buddy! But the aisle seats are amazing to have and worth the extra $30 a season.

Really?? Because from my experiences, and remembering what the seating looked like when I choose, there were always tons of aisle seats available, but the centers of the rows were filled first..I always thought that was odd...I HATE the center seats. I think people have this idea that if you are in the center of the row, the view is automatically better.

[muguru]

Any idea how many total rows there are in most sections of the uppers, compared to the BC?? obviously less, but how much less??

[fjm]

Guru you are not the only one who HATES the center seats. I do also. That's why if I move down or baseline I will certainly pay the extra $30.

[fjm]

Rumor was between 10-12 rows total per section. So maybe 8-10 rows less than at the BC?
