Iron Bowl tickets are $215-290 per person.
That is outrageous.
I could buy 4 really good tvs at 4 family members for that price and be just as satisfied for staying at home.
Maybe lower those prices to about $90 and I could agree in financially logical terms.
I understand the financial
reasoning in hyping/pushing up events, but at least make sure that the actual fans of said events can enjoy the actual event as well in person.
Why triple the price?

Because people will still buy the tickets

I'm guessing it's pretty straightforward in this case. There's talk of this Bama team being the best ever. True or not, it's going to draw lots of people who want to be able to say they saw that team in person. Never underestimate the value humans put in bragging rights.

Seems like a waste of money to sit in the upper deck with a 24 point spread.

4 tickets for $1,160 for a day in your life =
$423,400 per year if you do that every day.
I don't think that it is worth it.
I can see why the SEC wants to drive up prices for our lowely fans.

That's not how attending football games works, dude.

Do you know how the people selling those tickets (season ticket holders) got them? They spend thousands and thousands every single year on Bama football. God forbid they recoup 100 bucks

This is terrible logic.

How will the coach get paid? Isn't that part of the package to keep the coach at Auburn?

Bama fans will skip their triennial dentist appointment for this game.

I would pay top price for LSU, UGA, Bama and Florida either at home or away.
That would mean paying $90.00 before the game and down to free at gametime.
$270-290 is for suckers.
Jesus.

I could understand paying that to see a good game but Auburn? WTF?
