Take yourself out of the equation. It’s a business in reality. They have more

Demand than supply of tickets…so they are going to raise the prices to maximize profits. Its pure economics / capitalism. And no company should stop increasing revenue because they already increased revenue in other forms. As a business, you should increase revenue as much as you possibly so you can maximize your chance of success.

I'm one of those endzone lower bowl lifer's. Same seats for 35+ years...

I guess the question is do you want byu to make money or some stranger?

sah22

10/4/23 9:31pm

Are they not making more money now with Big 12 membership?

Kuga

10/4/23 9:36pm

You just want them to not make even more money than they could. They should reseat and increase to current market

I’m asking a question, chill out.

Kuga

10/4/23 10:00pm

I think you're the one that needs to chill out. I'm just trying to answer your question. Look at it from BYU's

You can never have enough money. Especially in the new professional collegiate

Because people higher in the pecking order were shut out of sideline seats

korihor

10/4/23 9:31pm

So increased demand from CC members?

Kuga

10/4/23 9:42pm

That young buck is willing to pay the same as you plus the one time & yearly donations. I don’t understand the confusion

Read my response again.

Kuga

Maybe, but it's not just about tenure. Sadly (because it's reality in 2023),

Seems like it would be bad business to sell your tickets to you below (possibly far below) market value. That's what you

dallinski

10/5/23 10:10am

yes, there was an increase in cougar club memberships, especially Legacy Donors

Littlerich

10/4/23 9:51pm

Yes. Absolutely. More CC donors and they want better seats.

10/5/23 7:59am

#250 overall or #250 in your level?

Overall.

thanks for your contributions to my favorite sports team. Go Cougs!

Hypothetically, say you have two BYU fans wanting to

Better analogy, be altruistic and keep the ticket price low and then you get

Kuga

10/4/23 9:45pm

It’s certainly a consideration and probably not a decision that was made lightly

10/4/23 10:01pm

I’m with you, now what about the CC member that’s paid and renewed every year?

Kuga

10/4/23 10:07pm

I do think think their decision would be more compelling if they weren’t

10/4/23 10:14pm

If they have been paying season tickets and CC for 30 years, they have a lot of

Florwood

They've also had 30 years worth of "good" seats. The new donor/buyer will have 1

10/4/23 11:24pm

you don’t like the point system, you want any new donor preferred over the old?

Florwood

10/4/23 11:42pm

I don't really care. Whichever system results in good chair seats being on the

10/5/23 5:42am

Separately though, let me assume that you buy 4 season tickets every year.

10/4/23 10:07pm

Yes I would still buy the tickets.

Kuga

10/4/23 10:22pm

I think it’s likely a matter of perspective that will drive people’s opinion

10/4/23 10:42pm

What’s wrong with requesting CC membership? It’s either that or increase the

10/4/23 9:32pm

All valid points, but as I mentioned in the OP…

BYU also joined the Big12 severely deficient in what they spend on the

To encourage folks to join and donate to cougar club. Fans like you didn’t have to in order to get the seats you wanted.

Counter point in blue blood programs and their seats.

Marvelous

10/4/23 9:37pm

Supply and demand. Demand just went up.

10/4/23 10:08pm

Ding ding^^^^^^ prices go up because people will pay them

It doesn't make sense for donors to have worse tickets than non-donors or for

10/4/23 10:53pm

I agree, but I don't know a single CC donor that has worse seats than me.

I hear you, I actually see it as less of a B12/P5 thing and more of a CFB

My opinion: which may have been expressed already...

You got what you paid for every year that you paid for it. You weren’t cheated. You’ll get what you pay for this year.

mvtoro

This is the best response. No one has been cheated. Everyone gets what they pay.

Question for you...If suddenly you lost your job would you still buy tickets?

kimdaddy35

10/5/23 1:30am

Pretty simple equation: value of the seats is going way up

For this reason (and I challenge anyone to refute this)

10/5/23 9:44am

Here is my take on this one

10/5/23 9:52am

Some people don't like market based pricing. They deny supply and demand...

Atmospheric_Cougar

10/5/23 10:10am

You can buy anything in this world with money. Words to live by apparently 😂😂

Sircumference

10/5/23 10:15am

This really is pretty simple…

Unfair? As long as you have the same opportunity as others, it's not unfair!
