re: we rich, bitch

The cost of tickets, etc. keep going up, Auburn Rich, fans poor. Especially for the product we are getting.

Auburn saw increases in ticket sales (from $30,181,317 to $32,165,386), revenue guarantees from playing in away games ($458,000 to $3,240,000), which was due almost entirely to playing in the 2015 Chick-fil-A Kickoff game for $3.2 million, media rights ($27,386,761 to $33,967,851), conference distribution ($8,680,947 to $10,043,683) and other areas. However, contributions fell from $36,949,743 to $35,570,146.

Expense increases came in student aid ($14,945,396 to $15,559,381), coaching salaries ($21,120,891 to $22,553,348), support staff and administration compensation ($21,249,298 to $23,077,255) and other areas.

Ticket sales increased for football ($28,396,362 to $29,827,136), men's basketball ($1,090,598 to $1,538,608), baseball ($321,067 to $343,553), softball ($144,457 to $265,745) and women's basketball ($47,337 to $69,659), but dropped slightly in gymnastics ($98,088 to $91,263).
