Apply that to everyday spending and that is what you unfortunately get.

Don't ever underestimate what people will waste their money on every chance they have.

T-shirts, helmets, Alabama football tickets at 300 times costs, nachos..etc.

There is nothing wrong with a 90 dollar experience per person.

$270-290. Maybe re-think that.

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

No

You can't even drive down to Altama to shop at Target. You poor and don't need to go to football games.

Season ticket holders pay their University.

...for Education.

That is the point of asking for money at your whole University Sports' Programs and Overall "Events" as a collective.

A University doesn't exist because of a football program.

Season ticket holders graduated from their University.

That is why they are season ticket recipients.

Why so much confusion?

I took my 1 year old to the Mizzou game. Homecoming. Kid had to have a ticket. But that was probably the cheapeast Bama weekend this year. Going to a game includes a lot of inconveniences, for some peoole it's missed work, scheduling, traffic, hotels, babysitters, pet sitters, house sitters, 100 of dollars in gas or even plane rides, parking, tailgating expenses, food and drinks.


Ticket prices aren't the bulk of your expense. And I damn sure don't want to spend my tailgating time running around to sketchy scalpers telling me "sheeeeit mane" and hoping they get desperate 5 minutes before kickoff and risk missing the game with 47 friends and family in tow

Thank you!

Consider the event, but have common sense.

Never take more than $30-90 for a game.

Consider yourself a fool otherwise.

Look at the FSU/FLA tickets. $125-$200 face value. $60 now on StubHub.

You seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding of the secondary ticket market.

I could easily say the same about you.

Your fans just over-inflated your own event for a 7-4 Auburn team.

I would have loved to have gone, but I am not going to pay $270.00 per person for what was otherwise a $90.00 ticket to begin with.

Maybe not overcharge to begin with.

Sorry Auburn sucks, we'll miss you, and the original price was $140, not $90 no matter how many times you say it. Here is the Alabama ticket office website

Single Game Option Price
Arkansas State $40
Texas A&M $110
Louisiana $55
Missouri $85
Mississippi State $85
Citadel $40
Auburn $140

So, for Alabama:

$525 a game at Six games is:

$87.50 per ticket.

The SEC needs its $2.50 back.

Jesus, help them.

No you couldn’t.


Costco has (i think LG) 42" 4k leds for sale under $300. That's a good tv.

Especially at a $1,160 budget for one day (4 People).

Why not do that instead?

Call Auburn fans whatever you want, but we understand money.

That's worse than the ticketmaster prices.
