Wow season ticket sales must have been really dissappointing this year

Attendance is being impacted everywhere. Just more comfortable to watch at home.

I get it - but "everywhere" hasn't grown at the rate Utah County has

It's real enough to not have to deal with traffic, whiney fans, crappy expensive

Time to start student deals for UVU. Plenty of BYU fans there.

Not a bad idea if you just want bodies in the seats. If they are looking for

For the purpose of the discussion, it would be a net positive in game day

Seriously. I wanted to punch Grandma Sycamore in the face.

Wow, it must have been bad...since I left BYU i have not found bread that good..

I agree that a lot of BYU students are not into sports...

All of you are that are upset over advertising what do you want BYU to do

BYU athletics MADE 5 million more than it spent last year

That's the problem with Gma Sycamore. It's always a huge play.

ChunkyBasty

9/16/14 8:58am

Not complaining. Just stating a fact. It cheapens the experience.

If you look at who I responded to 93cougar you will see that he says he is

The team has been disappointing the last few years

RisinUp

I agree - definitely an impact on the interest factor

OC Coug

2 BYU sports data points for me this year

Coog4Life

9/15/14 8:15pm

There was a jump in prices for 2013. It didn't settle back at all.

Hoosier Coug

9/15/14 8:16pm

season ticket sales were fine

cougarmanguy

9/15/14 8:16pm

I figured sales were down since mine got so much better

Coog4Life

9/15/14 8:17pm

I hope so - this team deserves a sellout for this game

OC Coug

Maybe the MTN wasn't such a bad thing afterall...

Have the last two losing seasons diminished Utah ticket sales?

SierraCoug

9/15/14 9:09pm

How should I know?

DapperDan

9/15/14 10:02pm

Thanks for the response. I found the answer.

SierraCoug

9/15/14 10:42pm

Not a great conclusion there.

The Lone Wolf

9/15/14 10:50pm

Utah sold more tickets than it has seats for two weak teams.

SierraCoug

9/15/14 11:01pm

They have good teams coming

wapiti

9/15/14 11:37pm

It's the schedule. Season tix are worth it to see big name teams.

LiquidUte

9/16/14 12:14am

The great teams on the schedule will draw fans for awhile, but

Every single home game last year (except for Weber State) was decided by a TD or

I guarantee two losing season have decreased the demand.

The Lone Wolf

9/15/14 10:12pm

I bought season tickets last year. Going into the rivalry game

The Lone Wolf

9/15/14 10:10pm

Because BYU tickets haven't shown they care about the consumer...

dchandle15

9/15/14 8:35pm

was that the student section fall out move?

cougarmanguy

9/15/14 8:39pm

Quite possibly. He wasn't near the student section

dchandle15

9/15/14 8:59pm

Just wait until the 2019 season - Season tickets should sell out

OGSuperfan

A result of the last four seasons.

Are you saying the Las Vegas Bowl was a marquee game with a killer matchup?

Eggguy

No it's not...

Smoke Monster

9/16/14 12:44pm

IMO, it's not just ticket prices. And TV access.

All these discounted tickets are making me think I'm a sucker for buying season

calbearcoug

fredgarvin

9/15/14 9:36pm

This is what happened to me last year

SpecialT

9/15/14 9:43pm

Right, but that's scalpers. It doesn't bother me if those tickets are cheaper.

fredgarvin

9/15/14 9:47pm

I agree. They should give you a partial refund if they discount singles.

calbearcoug

9/16/14 11:15am

I had wondered how the pricing of $10 would be received

Coog4Life

LOL. Well done. But a bad way to try to build a loyal, paying fanbase.

fredgarvin

You agreed to what you thought was a fair price. Having a full stadium makes

concolor couguar

9/15/14 10:09pm

I'm worried about what I paid. If you buy something, then later find out you

fredgarvin

9/15/14 10:17pm

If they want to sell out, they're going to have to lower the prices

dchandle15

9/15/14 11:25pm

Season tickets are a convenience and support the program

wapiti

9/15/14 11:36pm

Exactly. Empty seats vs. high price? They misjudged the market.

calbearcoug

9/16/14 11:17am

Almost beside myself reading this

MarylandFan

9/15/14 11:12pm

You chose to get the tickets at full price and knew you would get a seat

MarylandFan

dchandle15

9/16/14 8:02am

Season tickets aren't full-price tickets. That's why people buy them.

Why aren't people wearing fezzes? Fezzes are cool. Price > market.

calbearcoug

9/16/14 4:04pm

WRONG! Fezzes are VERY popular.

MarylandFan

9/16/14 6:06pm

Wrong about the market too... it is growing pretty well in Utah

PoopTown LLC

9/17/14 7:34am

If people don't buy your ticket your price does not clear market. Stubborn fact.

What did these $25 tickets cost the last 2-3 years?
