[QUOTE="HFrog12, post: 2823615, member: 66784"] I agree there isn't a straight correlation but you have to account for the entry for people to upgrade when compared to demand for better seats. Sure there is a demand for better seats but at what price? For example, I would love to sit in the west side lower bowl, but not willing to pay 6 figures to get there. I want to same goal as maniac and you, which is get the most loyal fans in the best seats closest to the field. But as it stands now there are TCU fans who bought those seats, even if, as maniac pointed out, were meant for their club seats, it was still sold as a package with the option for additional seats. My point, in addition to many examples from other past or present season ticket holders, is that you can either buy on the secondary market for incredible value, or you can pay thousands of dollars in donations and move into those seats over time. I have season tickets at the top of the east side and when I want to upgrade or sit close I will just buy them on the secondary market and list my seats up top for dirt cheap. It's not ideal but it's a hell of a lot cheaper than paying fair market value, including entry, for season tickets in the best seats in the house. I just think some are inflating the demand for better season tickets, unless of course they are next to free, or on par with their current seats that are higher up. Which yea of course there is a demand for better seats. Its been mentioned that fans are willing to pay for better seats at a reasonable level. What is a reasonable level? An entry of $15k plus $3k is reasonable for most places. I would love to scour the data and strip re-sellers of their tickets and give them to the next best fan in line. But good luck raising any more money for the next project. You want to really complain then be a fan of a lot of schools who can pass down tickets from generation to generation.
