Season ticket prices went up

Unread post by T-Dog » Fri Dec 13, 2024 1:42 pm

Got the email about renewing season tickets. Went to the page. My ticket in 201 alone is $280 + $30 handling fee after it was $256 total last year. This does not include the mandatory donation.

My anger is not about the money. It's about how there was no warning about the hike ahead of time. Makes me feel like a customer instead of a member of the family and valued multi-year season ticket holder.

I remember in advance of 2022 how App said there would be hikes in the coming years, but one 6-6 season later they actually lowered section minimums the following year and didn't follow through.

"New for 2025, aisle seats are $5 additional in season ticket cost."

It is a business, you never highlight price increases, that is bad business. They honestly should be double that at minimum in this new landscape, we need the money and we have a great product even if we had a mediocre year. Fair weather fans are usally not season ticket holders anyway.

That is some bad timing. Assume there is enough demand to still sell out. I may have to pull our name off the waiting list though.

Handling fee just for the parking passes?

I thought it was announced 3 years ago that ticket prices would go up in 2025.

I'm just glad it's $30 per order and not per seat :)

We can’t complain about resources or lack of nutrition like many have and then complain about price increases as well. Expenses are going up faster than the prices are.

There’s no handling. It’s digital tickets. Just put $10 on each season ticket and stop with the nickel and diming.

Just renewed. I'm hating not having more football this year. I'm Christmas shopping with the wife, going to holiday parties...it sucks. I'll pay anything just get us back in the postseason conversations.

I don't do junk fees. Stopped doing business with a car dealer I had bought 5 cars from over their junk fee.

They announced gradual increases in 2022 for the next 3 years to great fanfare while trotting out the "we're falling behind our rivals!" line using intellectually dishonest arguments and comparing App State to new Big 12 programs, then backtracked after a 6-6 record and actually lowered donation minimums for certain sections.

We want to compete? It costs money. And it’s going to cost more in the future.

Is there any program that charges more for aisle seats?

Creative, but seems petty.

The aisle seat charge is ridiculous. Why not add $1 to every seat and bring in more than this added cost for specific seats?

Any major concert you go to is usually 20 dollars or more for aisle seats.
