No, it has nothing to do with that.

When we played at Oklahoma State in the 2009 opener tickets for ALL georgia fans were $100. We were their "special" game that year, one game a year that OSU has that get wildly marked up.

It doesn't matter how much demand their is from LSU fans to go to auburn or florida or arkansas or wherever, the price students pay for those tickets is going to be the exact same as Sam Seasonticketholder, which is whatever that host school decides.

And A&M decided to set it that high because of the incredibly high demand... 20,000.

This is common practice out West.

Here in the land of hippie liberals, market prices are charged on all games where they can charge more.

SEC schools are far more equitable and usually charge the same ticket price for all games.

Out here in Pac 12 land, rent a win tickets and other less appealing games routinely are usually priced at half the price of the high demand games.

It's just one more amusing part of life around here. Like being able to buy medical marijuana and have a doctor assist you in killing yourself but getting tackled if you try to pump your own gas.

It is what it is.
