Student Section This Weekend - Open Seating?

[Uncle_Frog]

Sorry if this has already been discussed but will they open the student section for open seating since most students will be out of town? I cant remember if they did two years ago against Baylor.

 

[Tumbleweed]

Hell, They ought to sell $2 dollar tickets to this one!!

Fiddy? FIDDY? For realz?

Should’ve just opened it up, first come first serve, $50 is dumb and no way will that section be full, in 2013 it worked great

 

[Moose Stuff]

Seems silly

I guess I don't get it. $50 for great seats to watch the #10 team in the country play one of their biggest rivals seems like a darn good deal.

Agreed. A. Greed.

Nope. Too much in this market.

Baylor is a rival, but because of the last 18 months there's zero excitement around the game. This is $50 for great seats to watch the #10 team in the country play one of the worst teams in the country, who lost to UTSA, Liberty, and everyone else not named Kansas, over a holiday weekend, at 11 AM.

Tough sell.

Didn't pay half that to have 40 yard line seats to watch #4 TCU thrash Kansas on a beautiful evening for football. Well...a little over half that after the convenience charge.

Great deal if you don’t already have season tickets (ie your entire fan base)

I do think some family members in town for Turkey might do it, but not enough at that price.

StubHub has tickets starting at $18. Last I checked $50>$18 but I don't know new math.

If I didn't have tickets I would buy an $18 ticket and sit pretty much anywhere I could get away with sitting.

Like old AGC days, amiright?

This is my thought process on the matter. Who are you trying to get to sit in the student section? If it's the season ticket holders, then you have to have a price point that's low enough to entice them to fork over the extra money to sit there. If it's the casual fan, who may be in town over the weekend, and just wants to see a good college football game at 11 in the morning after Thanksgiving, you have to have a reasonable enough price point. I think $50 per seat is too much for either of those people. Now, if the price were a dub, then that's a different matter. Many people, I believe, would spend a dub to move down from where their normal seats are, or to get a good college game in the morning after Thanksgiving. But FIDDY?

“You the money bunny Clyde. You ain’t gonna miss Fiddy!”

Guess the show.

For the olds:
A dub is $20

Tired old eyes suffering from allergies read this as "from Turkey". Or maybe it was the capitalization that threw me. Was wondering if the country that used to have Constantinople or Turkey, Texas.

I just ran the $50 ticket idea past my parents to see if they were interested. My dad laughed.
