The Bobcat Nation

Rumor:
Heard from a third hand source that a booster club announced FB tickets would cost $50.00 for next year’s games. While Boosters/QB club members can afford program support at this price, not a good rumor to have floating around. That last 25% we need to fill up the stadium is going to get spooked away with rumors like this. Many folks reading this board will gladly pay a steep price to support the program. My issue is let’s fill the stadium, then let supply/demand run ticket prices. Can anyone shed light on this RUMOR? Need to validate or quickly kill this one!

What's the big deal about $50? That is for 6 games, and includes a ticket to the Cat-friz game. I am a poor student, and I don't think 50 bucks is asking very much at all for the cheapest season tickets.

Are you saying 50 per game?

the $50 must be for the endzone-the sideline seats are already much more than that.

$50 for a season ticket is very reasonable, and there's no way they'll charge $50 per game for anything but the very best seats, other than maybe for Cat/Griz...[/i]

$50.00 for season tickets?? I'll take four!!!

Yep, one of the best deals ever (especially the years we host Cat/Griz). Heck of a deal. Lets fill the stadium up! Looking above it sounds like a lot of people didn't know they had this deal? Spread the word ==> Fill the stadium baby!

$50 bucks for season tickets. Isht, Griz fans may buy those up just to get easy Brawl tickets.

Keep in mind the 50.00 tickets are the pepsi zone tickets. Those were pretty much sold out last year though so not sure how many they will have for sale this year. This must be what Bronco bought 2 years ago when he had his terrible experience in Bozeman. Any bets he comes back next year though?

...what moron decided to get all the dang papers and t.v. stations to call the Cat-Griz game the "Brawl of the Wild." About as dumb as the "Made in Montana" logo

Geezzzz, I just contacted the other half and told her we can get season tickets, join the booster club and get to sit on the sidelines for less than ONE game at UGA Last year, general admission was no less than 30 bucks a game in the nose bleed sections there. Why do we pretty much give away general admission tickets? Even Southern Conference tickets are pretty close in price to the major conferences.

Two Seattle Seahawk season tickets...$1,837. And I'd rather see the Bobcats anyday!!!

Yep, Bobcat Tickets are a great deal. Is there a better place to take in a game/drink beer and tailgate than Bozeman, MT? (BRONCO you need not respond to this ). I'm sure the prices will eventually go up, but its nice to enjoy them while they are still cheap. Everyone get your tickets and lets pack the house this year! Send Lulay out on his Senior Year.

Yeah, nothing like a quality product at a quality price--but lets quit giving the tickets away. Actually, I'd like to see Justin get about a hundred and ten more handoffs and see if his numbers aren't a tad bit better than Ryan's were with the same number Would have loved to see a little more clock management and ball control and we gonna have it this year

I think MSU just put the affordeable Pepsi zone section in initially at cheap prices because those seats weren't initially being filled on a consistent basis. Most stadiums do have budget sections that they use to get a more consisten fan base to attend the games etc. Then once that fan base/winning as a result usually happens .. they will bump up the ticket prices etc. I'd estimate that they only have about 2500 max Pepsi zone seats they sell probably? The other tickets are more expensive on the sideline sections etc.

$8.33 per game wow, go for it.

In other news Clemson season tickets will cost $225 for 6 home games.

What happened two years ago is that the friz bought hundreds of the Pepsi Zone season tickets just so they could secure the Bobcat friz ticket. I think they may have limited the amount of Pepsi Zone tickets that you can buy at one time.

...and my UGA darlin said she wouldn't walk across the street to watch any Tommy Bowden coached team But she thinks Mark Richt is the finest human since Vince...

I would love to see some temporary bleachers put in place this year because, well, just for the heck of it...maybe enough to just break the largest sporting event in Montana history

From the Georgia Southern website:

SUBWAY Family Plan
The Georgia Southern University Department of Athletics and Subway Restaurants will team up again to offer area fans a special family season ticket plan for the 2005 football season.

With a minimum purchase of three Subway Family Plan season ticket packages for $50 each – which represents a savings of $9.00 per ticket, per game – fans can enjoy a seat in Section J at Paulson Stadium for all five exciting regular season Eagle contests this fall.

It's 90 bucks for chair back seats at Georgia Southern (in case anyone is wondering).

Anyway, I might guess this will be a common pratice across the country, having low priced season tickets in less desirable locations.
