That's a very reasonable price to pay considering individual tickets for big games can go for over $400 a pop (at least in the SEC).

Just depends on the quality of the seat. I honestly have no idea what the OU tickets are going to cost. It was almost $100 to sit balls deep in the upper deck overlooking an end zone and I'm NOT settling for that this year.

I expect the chOklahoma@WV game seats to sell for megabucks. The LSU game last year in Morgantown was absurd in pricing. The cheapest you can get the seats I have is $1,640 and that's only if they were already your seats the year before. We have an athletic club. To get season tix you must donate to them, then they will consider you for seats. Also works on seniority. Extremely difficult to get good seats unless you're a longtime holder, or donate an assload of money.

All seats at WVU are $395 for the season. However, each section has assigned, minimum, donation levels. Mine are $400 per seat, which is the 2nd best section. The best section is $500. Again, that's minimum. You join the athletic club now, and donate $500...highly unlikely you'll get either of the 2 best sections. Politics...

A lot of universities work that way, mine included.

It doesn't bother me. It's what keeps all athletics going. Our athletic department is 100% self sufficient.

Also, 80% of the donation can be wrote-off.

i tend to play by the hourly-rate. if it costs me more per hour than i make per hour---then i don't indulge. since it doesn't cost to tail-gate (apart from perhaps parking), then you're talking about a 3-hour game max. if i paid $300 per ticket for that game, then by my rule of thumb, i'd have to be making ~$200,000 per year to justify that ($300/3 hours * 2000 working hours).

of course the athletic departments are self-sufficient. they fawking better be with the prices they charge.

How much money have you dumped into your car? How fast is it currently? How good does it look? What's it realistically worth vs. what you've spent? Right, don't lecture me about MY hobby.
