Ticket Greed

Schools don’t pay players. Ticket money doesn’t cover NIL. NIL is financed by donations. Canes Connection doesn’t get money from the ticket office.

I know we want to blame kids getting money for ticket price increases but the two have nothing to do with each other.

We can, however blame coaching salaries and bloated staffs. That money comes directly from the athletic department budget. That’s where ticket money goes.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding but Tennessee tickets and season ticket packages have “talent fees” attached to them for NIL purposes

But they had them before NIL it’s just increased now IIRC

awesome! Make sure you arrive early and hit up the tailgates and take it all in, hurricane walk with the players before the game is fun too

The atmosphere will be electric

You can also just buy tickets through the Miami Hurricanes ticket office

I will arrive early to take everything in. I’m excited. And I’m gonna do that next time. I got scared that the tickets would be sold out so I went ahead and got them on stub hub
 
thousands of tix available in the after-market for the Canes/Domers. Finding lowers in the $300's... that's including fees.
Canes/Gaytor tix are in the $200's...

“Service fees” are a good way to charge more money for the same product.

The UT athletic department can’t legally pay student athletes. At least not yet.

Even the SEC ticket offices are in the bag game

Paid almost $1000 for a very pedestrian 300 section seat to Copa America final.

Sporting events are expensive.

Bigger events are expensiver.

Yup. I've paid more than what I pay annually for season tickets to get primo seats for my son and I to go to a single Heat game. I've also paid more to go to Fins games. Heck, I mooch off my boss' Fins tickets and just parking alone is around $100. After I end up buying food and ice cream and whatever other crap my son wants, even when I have free tickets, I still drop like $200. Hurricane season tickets are a bargain all things considered. Has anyone seen concert prices these days?

Look at the prices of a Pearl Jam GA ticket to either the 4/24 or 4/26 shows at Hard Rock Live - $2-3k range for 1 GA ticket!

They’re going to have major problems pushing next years season tickets with the weak home slate

Florida AM
Central Michigan
BC
FSU
PITT
VT

FSU sells regardless. Historically, the ticket office knows that even numbered years are okay, because FSU coming down will boost numbers. VT has also been solid as well.
 
The two years my wife was a professor at Vanderbilt (2007-2008), we got faculty rate season tickets for $75 per seat for the whole season. Since I didn’t care about Vandy and thus being on the home field side, I got 15th row 40 yard line visiting side. We would go to two games of interest, remember going to Nick Saban 2nd game at Bama and Vandy beating Spurriers Gamecocks. The rest of the tickets I would sell to Gator fans etc.
I’d make more off selling 4 seats for one game than we paid for two years of season tickets x4.

Just out of curiosity, I looked at some old UM OB ticket stubs I still have.
1992 TCU Gen Adm - $14
1998 UCLA 9th row, 35 yd line home field side - $30.
I think the last two OB games I went to were the 2001 Washington revenge game, lower deck but partially obstructed and the 2002 VT game upper deck, home side. I know I didn’t pay more than around $40 +- for those games.

I'm pretty positive I paid $75 total for two upper deck (but lower, first few rows, very good seats around the 30) seats to the 2001 Washington game.

2004 Orange Bowl game v. FSU I paid something like $750 total for four seats, row 2, club-level.

And parking back then...well, just thinking about it makes me crave an arepa.
