Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 3407414, member: 7492"] Sorry about the delay on this post and again the scary thing is I am currently compiling the "UConn attendance boost" data on teams, conference and OOC, and what increases they have when they play UConn. I had started trying to look at price points of "regular games" vs. "premium games" and as [USER=10178]@domerduck[/USER] noted, certain schools package games as part of bulk or season tickets. Even UConn this held the Baylor and ND game seats as separate sales. I am curious to hear from the SC fans on pricing over the past 3 years as I had thought the "Youth tickets" were $1-3 price points as to why they averaged 13,000+ for quite a few years and last year that went down to 10,000+ and I saw the ticket prices increase slightly but not sure when. I wasn't sure if the dip was to pricing or that last year's team was not as good as prior with A'ja. It's been an interesting discussion I have come across on numerous article about what prominent schools should do on pricing. The discussion usually falls into 2 main camps with minor decisions after that: 1a. Is you program trying to grow based on the team getting better and playing better? Then you lower the prices, offer group discounts to schools and organizations. Recognize the organizations during the games. 1b. Is your program already established with a base who want to see your games? Raise the prices to maximize the income while balancing the attendance. 2.Is your venue on campus where you control the food and beverage sales? a. If yes, then lower the prices to get fans and make money on popcorn, soda, programs and food. b. If no, (like the XL Center) then keep the prices for premium seats high for the non-boosters or available for the booster who contributes a certain level. Put the GA as needed to cover the cost of the venue and get fans in. [/QUOTE]
