Oh it's lovely to have tickets come in tuition. Went to every home game in 13, and 14. Couldn't make it to every one in 15. :/

Man it would be awesome as a student to have it included in tuition



While you would think that. I have lots of friends at ACC schools where it's like that. Most of them basically go week to week not knowing if they'll have a ticket for the game or not. And some places it's not even first come first serve but a lottery to determine who will get them. I'd rather pay $50-100 and be guaranteed tickets for all of the games than get them for free but have my chances per game be a crap shoot.

This is a dumb thread. In order to know the value the university is providing for the students, you also need to know the number of student tickets available and where they are made available. Nobody treats its students better in regards to football tickets than A&M.

That list makes no sense. How do TAMU, Missouri, and Ole Miss justify charging more than Bama, Florida, LSU, Tennessee, and Georgia?


Ticket prices are not the whole story. What is the "activity fee" all Bama students pay regardless of wether they attend games or not?

Nothing's changed. UA charges a $6 handling fee on top of the $70 ticket charge.

I'm sure you do. It is just built into your tuition.

Ole Miss student tickets are 155, they make you pay a bullshite 25 dollar fee that basically is money given to the athletic dept. Absolutely fricking bullshite, the university makes plenty of money, they don't need to take an extra 25 on top of the ticket prices

A&M provides much better seats. A&M's student section is endzone to endzone along the entire eastern sideline of the stadium. As a student, you can have a 50 yard line, second deck seat with a view that costs a former student sitting on the direct opposite sideline tens of thousands of dollars.

LSU's is a damn good deal. At least when I was there, it averaged to about $10-$12 per game and entrance to all other sporting events was free.
