This is Big East Basketball. Our Alma Mater is doing everything they can to remain competitive.  We've danced the last 4 years.

Back in '53, you could get in for a nickel but you had to put in 50 hours in a coal mine to get that nickel.  I miss the good old days

Then it appears you never have been, since smoking was prohibited in the Arena when Al was our coach.

Maybe I'm missing the joke, but there were definitely smoking sections at the Bradley Center as late '99.

They should've done this last year. Coming off a disappointing (relative to early season rankings) season and with most fans expecting a down season along with a poor home slate (Maryland & Dayton aren't Bucky, Purdue, Baylor, Texas), it's no surprise to see some sticker shock.

Couple that with a lack of transfer portal activity, diminishing giveaways & concession options, and most fans probably not fully understanding the House settlement and you'll get a "where's the money going" sentiment. I get why they're doing it, but I can understand fan pushback on it too.

Yes, fans are largely stupid

I do think the general inflation in the world may make fans shrug that this is just one more example. I'm mostly interested in how the per game numbers are impacted. The high major games in Chicago make it seem I'll have less bang for my buck.

Its almost as if the United states economic policies post 2008 and the Presidents love for tariffs is a bad thing. The dollar is down nearly 10% since the start of the year. Thats fun.

That's rich coming from the guy who though Kam should return for his 5th year.

He should have.

It's a voluntary transaction.

So was the $16 tickets. The incentive was if I bought the tickets now I was locked in at that price each season for my full 4 years at MU.

Are tickets really up all that much?  The example of Sec. 213 in the first post is an unusual situation and an outlier.  The 3 upper-deck end zone sections have always been the cheapest sections going back at least 15 years.  A few years ago they expanded the cheap sections in each direction to include 213-217.  It looks like they just went back to only 3 cheap sections this year (214-216) and 213 got moved back to the regular price structure with the other upper-deck corner sections.

No one cares. It was over 50 years ago.

[Johnny B]

Is this from increased demand or other things

Hate to break it to you about Unk's posts, but ...

Ah, never mind.
