Umm... the official capacity of Kyle Field is 82,589. The lowest attendance of 6 home games last year was Arkansas (I suspect because of the terrible weather) at 86,422.

So I'm having a bit of trouble following the OP's premise

Interestingly, this came out today from the A&M AD:

quote:
***IMPORTANT**** Resale of student tickets/sports options for profit is prohibited. Student sports options are heavily subsidized by season ticket holders. Former Students and Aggie fans have long been committed to maintaining the quality and size of the student allotment at Kyle Field. In return, Texas A&M students, the 12th Man, are expected to honor this commitment by not reselling for profit their student tickets. These tickets, home and away, are for student use ONLY. Texas A&M students are prohibited from reselling sports options/student tickets (home or road) for profit. Students found to be in violation of this policy will be penalized. Penalties include the cancellation of sports options, cancellation of tickets already pulled, and the loss of sports option privileges for the duration of their Texas A&M career.

So I guess if high prices do become a problem, this might help keep attendance up.

Most SEC schools sell out their season tickets whether we show up is up to us. I know Alabama has a Tide Pride waiting list of almost 30,000 people waiting to buy tickets.
