Reservation Statistics:
--------------------------------------------------------------
Comparative Pricing:
***I got this from 24/7 from another poster (msudawg12)***
- If correct, which I'm pretty sure they are because I spot checked and have already looked into season tickets for us, this should cut out some of the incessant bitching about our prices being too high and no one can afford them.
quote:
After totaling deposit numbers for the #NewDude, over 3,500 seats have been reserved, which represent 91% of 2015 reserved seat sales.
quote:
Left Field Lounge holders also showed tremendous support for the #NewDude as 96% of LF Lounge spots were renewed.
quote:
Two-thirds of season ticket holders who made one-time gifts to construct the current stadium, supported the #NewDude by reserving seats.
quote:
Close to 1,200 chairback seats were reserved by fans who had not previously made a one-time stadium gift.
quote:
The seat allocation process in the #NewDude will be forthcoming.

Lets compare other SEC Schools
Giving levels to get reserved chairbacks at each SEC school.
How do we rank? From most expensive to least. For fairness sake, these will all be chairback prices around the home plate area but not premium like front row or anything so all ticket pricing is similar if I can get it.
State’s actual pricing of the ticket for each seat isn’t published yet so I cannot add it. Probably reasonable to assume $200 or so. Maybe not. Who knows? I went with $200 just to put a number
I’m perfectly ok with where that ranks. We can bitch about affordability all we want but we will have the top facility in baseball and are trying to compete year in and year out.
LSU - $615/year - $300 priority + $315 for ticket
MSU – New Chairback holders - $350/year - $1500/10 yr commitment + $200
South Carolina - $315/year - $75 priority + $240 for ticket
Arkansas - $305/year - $100 priority + $205 for ticket
MSU – Current Chairback holders- $290/year - $900/10 yr commitment + $200
Auburn - $285/year - $100 priority + $185 for tickets
Georgia - $175/year - $50 priority + $125 for tickets
Alabama - $125/year - $125 with no priority giving required
Florida - $125/year - $125 season ticket with no priority giving required
Missouri - $60/year - $60 ticket with no priority giving required
Kentucky - $55/year - $55 ticket with no priority giving required
Ole Miss – Had to have M-Club login to get information. Have an OM buddy that is going to give me the information
Tennessee – Will not publish until January
Texas A&M – Had some compatibility issues with their ticketing website pages.
Vanderbilt – Could not find info on website

I didn't know people were still bitching about the seating prices.
Is it just the folks that got those lifetime seats and were being greedy as frick?

I know the last time we talked about it on here there was a bunch of people bitching about how no one would be able to afford it, yada, yada, yada.
I know some people who already had chairbacks were bitching because their last donation was supposed to be "lifetime" donations, but hell, the stadium lasted 30 years. Come on you frickers, really?

I thought the only things that people were bitching about on here were the loft prices. Which only OT ballers can afford.

Nah I distinctly remember a couple people getting into it about regular pricing.
Granted there's a good chance it was Taxman, sooooooooo....

Yeah seems like a Taxman complaint.

quote:That is only partially true. If a current chairback holder is an original owner of the seat and has had them forever, that person can get a seat in the new stadium for $900 prior to August 1. If you hold a chairback but not the original owner and and commit prior to August 1, then it's $1,500 (can pay it over 3 years). If you are neither, then you can reserve a seat for $1,500 prior to August 1. August 1 the seat goes to $1,800. They must be going up on ticket prices because I did not pay $290. I think I paid $225 + the $20 processing fee.
MSU – Current Chairback holders- $290/year - $900/10 yr commitment + $200
I actually don't own a seat. I buy mine from a guy who doesn't use them. He inherited them and has small kids and just doesn't use them. He wanted me to pay his $900 assessment and I was guaranteed the ticket for 10 years. I said no thanks; I will roll the dice and wait.

I can't wait to go see an OM/MSU Saturday matchup there on Super Bulldog Weekend when yall break the on campus attendance record you already own... That stadium isn't just a big deal for MSU... It's a big deal for the entire state of MS... Ridiculously nice.

Obviously all the details aren't there, but you would agree that's the gist of it right?
I assume it was simplified for the purpose of the post.
I'm still contemplating doing the 1500 before August 1st. For two seats that's 600 in savings, but I'm not sure where I will be living in a year or two years from now so I hate to commit without knowing I will be able to go to a majority of games.

Somewhat. You say "New" chairback holders pay 1500. But you can be an existing chairback holder but not the original owner but still have the pleasure of paying 1500 instead of 900. I still don't understand that + $200.
We pretty much wasted our tickets this year because the weather was always so bad. Not sure what I am going to do for tickets but if the schematics of the new stadium are correct, it looks like all of the seats are chairback. That's why I am rolling the dice. Plus, you commit the 3000 (or 3600 after July 31) how long will it be before you can use your new seats? If I could sell my property up there and not take a bath on my RV, I would just say screw it. I can watch on TV and go and get a motel room a couple of times per year and save tons of money.

First of all, I just want to make clear it wasn't my post. Secondly, it was supposed to evoke discussion about how the prices were comparable to other programs, not for someone to nitpick the details.
I'm not exactly sure how that worked, but did the "not original owner" pay the "lifetime" donation to the bulldog club? If not, why would he get a discount to 900 instead of 1500?
The +200 is for the actual ticket. You do understand that the 1500 (or whatever you specifically would pay, I'm not trying to discuss the 900, 1500, or 1600 donation over and over) is just the donation to the bulldog club? Comparable to the donation you have to make for football season tickets, you then still have to actually pay for the ticket.
Yes. Where the god awful eyesore of bleachers were will all be chairbacks. Along with a berm, among standing room, and other GA options.
(Assuming we are talking about the 1500 option, for one seat, to make things more simple)
You commit 500 before July 31st. You commit 500 when they break ground. You must pay the donation in full, the remaining 500 of 1500, by the time the first season starts. So it will be when the first season in the new stadium starts before you can use your new seats. Since they won't be there until the stadium is completed.
The grandstand will be the first phase completed. Most likely in between the 2016-2017 season. The outfield will be done the following year.

State's a football and basketball school now.

Time value of money. I will hold on to mine and decide once the stadium is built as to whether or not I am willing to pay that much for season tickets.
Posted on 7/29/15 at 4:30 pm to DynastyDawg
Then pay for me two seats you rich bitches! Come off of that money and help a brother out!
The common man can't afford this shite. We don't need some new highfalutin stadium that costs too damn much when we can't even make the damn tournament in Baseball. If we were Cal State Fulerton, LSU, or you know..a team that actually wins championships, then I could see building this.
I tell y'all this, as well as Stricklin to his face. We don't need this stadium, and I won't be helping pay for it.
Don't respond to this post unless you've paid up for seats, because otherwise you are just as cheap as I am.

In all seriousness, do we have any numbers on how many have been taken? I'd really like to know how it's going so far.

Now that the whole thing is restructured I bet a whole bunch of the original seat owners say screw it. I don't need tickets to games I never attend.

I am perfectly fine with the current Dudy Noble. I understand though to compete for the right players, you got to entertain the young kids with glitz. I like my seats about 10 rows up looking straight down the 3rd base line. Going to miss that.

Hey if the restructuring puts butts in the seats and the place doesn't look vacant besides aside from big SEC matchups, I'm all for it. I understand that they have to "remove" all those seats to get rid of the "lifetime seats". If the end result is that more people will be in the stands then that's the best alternative IMO.

I understand this as well. But I'd like to know who we lost specifically as a result of the facilities, which are still one of the best in the country.
Fact is that College Baseball just doesn't appeal to many athletes, the glitz and glamour isn't there. IF a new stadium would get them here then fine.

In this day and age, making empty seats available for a game should be as easy as clicking a button.
Posted on 7/30/15 at 11:07 am to Allyn McKeen
It sure should; sold out games would equal packed stadiums, with State fans, hopefully...
