Would be curious to see this list with the necessary donations included.


A&M donation minimum starts at $200 and goes up to $15,000 per seat. Really varies a lot. These are just donations so ticket price not included.

Geez, after reading these comments it is pretty cheap to go to a game at Faurot. Here is a map of the donation levels in addition to the $379 per seat ($288 is for the south end zone which does not currently have a donation level).

Donation Level Link

The good thing about Mizzou (and maybe others) is that at least that covers football and men's basketball, so one good donation gets you premium seating for football and basketball. Basketball, unfortunately, has the good sense to have tiered pricing for season tickets in seating areas too in addition to the donation levels.

You know exactly what I'm talking about. Gumps in particular are bat shite crazy. Crazy to different degrees, but crazy.

I never met people so focused on one damn thing in my life. Even the non-sidewalkers would ask me who I was going to root for like that was going to determine the balance of our relationship. fricking weird.

You would think with the new SEC Network and the money about to be rolling in they could do something to make it more affordable because at some point they will lose the average fan because I could use that money for a lot of other things.

Yeah, we spent nearly $3k this year in donation, tickets, food and myriad other game day expenses associated with attending games. As alumni, my wife and I enjoy being back on campus and experiencing the fun of going to a game with our little one, but the costs are getting ridiculous, especially when you end up getting a terrible product.

we pay 2000 for annual donation to get 4 seats in east 30yd line outdoor club, and 4 in section 112 at RRS.

then the 55.00 per seat for SEC games, 45.00 for OOC games for section 112, and 125.00 each for all games for the 4 outdoor club seats.

2 parking passes included, but they are horrible parking passes. and the product... ROTFL!

San Diego State's best seats are $360 ($210 +150 donation)

Some of your prices are just astronomical to the uninitiated.

Us who have lived in SoCal figure that the low price for Aztec season tix offsets the high cost of living, the shiddy atmosphere and the utter disappointment that will certainly befall SDSU football

These are ticket prices, not the load of money that has to be donated annually to get those tickets.

Season tickets with donations are the biggest ripoff. I can't believe people donate thousands just to be able to buy tickets.

Unless there's an Alabama-LSU type game on the schedule you can get off way cheaper and get better seats just buying tickets to the interesting games and not spending hundreds to go see your team beat directional schools by 60.

Several schools have no such luck

Vols have a 1,000 per seat "donation" for good lower seats to see the Lady Vols
Cats have "donations" by sport and even volleyball has a "donation"

Yearly donations are also typically required for season tix at Neyland. They did waive the donation this year due to economy (without looking it up, so keep in mind I may be wrong on the details, I think it was something like if you'd donated in the past you didn't have to this year). Actually, the more I think about it I think the extra donation was waived for those who'd already donated for season tix if they wanted to buy another set of season tix to go with it.

That's not even close for real costs for season ticket holders at LSU, Bama, Florida, etc.
Not to mention when you tack on parking which is a hidden cost and outrageous concessions prices. Cost of doing business but a lot of these are getting to the breaking point. I only attend half the games anymore.


All of us are paying PSL fees ... SCAR included. $2,500.00 per seat. That's not the point. The point is the cost of each season ticket.

Y'all are all master(baters) of redirection.

UGA's doesn't include WLOCP fix- those are extra. In general because of that game as well as the annual GT game, there have been years when the home slate only including 5 games. Oftentimes it is 6 whereas most of the west is looking at 7-8 home games/season.

Not only that but they're used for customers by a lot of people. The family biz spends big $$$ on season tix and a few are bought solely to hook-up customers from all over the country and world when there's a big contract on the line and they come in to meet with us. Those close to finalizing a fat deal as well as those with long time fat contracts with the biz get great seats. And when customers aren't slated to come in they buy goodwill from important people in town as well as congress people or go to friends.
