Message: [QUOTE="Chief00, post: 3102092"] Unless Chief is wrong (unlikely), it’s amazing how much UConn is misjudging their market. They should have a better handle on this type of thing. Their market segmentation strategy seems to be - have 20% of the fans foot maybe 90% of the bill. The other 80% will effectively get into the building cheaply and move into the better seats. Chief has never been bothered by this casual fan practice but now that I am paying $100 a seat times 4 and they are paying perhaps $15. It doesn’t pass the smell test. One Chief observation, I have never in all my years in business seen a management team so prone to copying what doesn’t work. It’s a novel approach that’s not likely to succeed. And if there is erosion in the 20% group the entire model collapses in a very ugly manner. Similar to what they have done with mid field football chair back seats. The one team that has had some success this season WBB, where perhaps they would benefit from sone momentum - they take a discriminatory position and do not impose these prices on females and older people, the WBB fan demographic. But middle age men of all colors - hammer them with predatory pricing. [/QUOTE]
