Yeah but what are college fanbases built on?
It's taking the family to the school you graduated from.
All the SEC schools have basically tiered their ticket prices to specific opponents.
When LSU plays Bama at home it's a more expensive ticket
When LSU plays Florida at home it's a more expensive ticket

At what point do fans say I'm not paying $1000 to attend one marquee home game when you factor in tickets, parking, concessions. etc.

When those games stop selling out, it'll adjust. Make no mistake, it's a business.

LSU fans? Sounds like pretty soon.

Seriously...I pay about $500 per seat, per year, for my 4 season tickets, sideline, 5 yard line, upper deck, for 7 home games. Calculate the price for the premium game and a percentage of the Tide Pride donation, and I'm paying maybe $125 per ticket for LSU this year.
Savvy fans, at least in Tuscaloosa, know where they can park for free less than a mile from the stadium. And I don't spend more than $20 for hot dogs and a drink. So we're a helluva long way from $1,000...at least in Tuscaloosa.
