Got a letter from Jamie today about football and men's basketball pricing increases and adjustments. Nothing changes this year, but changes for 2015-2016 will be announced by early fall. He emphasizes Hilton will NOT be reseated for MBB.
He emphasizes Hilton will NOT be reseated for MBB.
Basketball price increase is mentioned in the 2nd paragraph on the back.
Since $4 million was mentioned at one point in the letter, I played around with that, just for an inaccurate eyeball estimate.
Assuming 40k season tickets for football going up $50 each, that's $2 million.
I assumed 14k for MBB at $50 over the 2 years. That got $700k, for a total of $2.7 million between the two.
Just base on my ridiculous setup, I'm guessing that prices are going way up, unless they're counting on the new SEZ club section to offset a lot of that.
Are they doing a true re-seat? No.
Are they de facto re-seating by jacking up donation levels by huge amounts? Yes.
From the tone of the letter, it sounds like almost everyone better be willing to shell out cash to stay where they are.
Probably a good thing.
This should have been done years ago. It's ridiculous to have free basketball parking (or free parking for ANY event at Hilton).I wouldn't be surprised if they charge for basketball parking separately either.
