[quote]It's not because of flat screen TV's.
It's because the cheapest endzone upper deck tickets for UGA-LSU and UGA-SC are $190 per ticket on Stub Hub. /quote]
I agree, but people will pay it.
The problem is not the cost of the actual ticket, it's the scalped cost of the actual ticket.
Club fans are trying to recoup their entire seating license cost by prorating their spare ticket allotment to scalpers.
I can buy eight tickets for every game, my four primaries and my four secondaries. Everyone that sits around me does the same.
I've had the same four primary tickets lower level west near the 45 yard line for a few decades.
I invested in South upper mezzanine level when they finished that expansion in the 90s.
I could, if I wanted to, recoup the cost of the south endzone tickets PLUS pay for my four primary seating licenses by scalping my south endzone tickets ... if I wanted.
Unfortunately I have a large family of grown kids who abuse the good-natured tendencies of their Pop.
