Generally it seems if the Athletic Dept. isn't pushing out how many tickets they have sold then ticket sales are usually stagnant or down.
2025 FB Parking Selection
- Thread starter BigJCy
- Start date
Even though I dropped back a level in my donation this year I was still able to get into the same lot (D5). Weirdly, the online system wouldn’t let me finish my selection on a mobile device and I had to call the ticket office. They took care of me in a heartbeat.
That could be, the ticket office might have charged me the handling fee for each game, instead of lumping them all together. I was hoping to save some money, but it was not much. It was easier, since I did not have to find each game and then click on it, pay and then repeat. Not sure why they just do not have a feature to purchase the entire season at once, but I am sure doing it the way they do, forces you to rack up fees from each purchase.
I wonder if the cost of the Ireland trip has caused people to decide they would rather spend their money on that one game and forgo getting season tickets this year, or people that have not purchased season tickets in the past, deciding to go overseas and see the game. Throw in the fact the economy is not the best in the world for many out there, almost all the games are now on TV, and the price of tickets keep going up, we are seeing a drop in ticket sales across the country at many schools.
The Haunted Forest parking went from $280 last year for seven games to $300 for six game. Plus they are charging an extra $150 for the vehicle on top of your RV pass if you are towing in your RV. This year you can't leave your RV all season either. Sounds like they are working with the city to get this resolved as quite a few people sent in letters to the city to allow it.
Valid point. I am not going to Ireland, but I can sure see the validity of picking that as the option of the year.
Oh I completely agree that it's worth just getting them in advance. The didn't allow that at first and that's what pushed us to finally just get a parking pass.
A and B lots between SA and JTS suck total ass to get out of after games.
They are definitely down. When I was looking at potential re-seating options I was shocked with how many lower level seats were available between the 30's on both sides of the stadium. That would line up with how the parking selection is going as well.
Just picked (later half of Gold level)... Website is wonky, had to call to select.
B4 and D4 were both still open. A4 and C4 were not. All the '3' lots are open.

That seems crazy that there is still that much parking available. Maybe a good chunk of people dropped down to Cardinal this year? Does anyone know how many Cardinal members there are this year?
A lot of Cardinal level donors are going to get in the A3 through D3 level lots.
I’ve wondered if the big jump in donor price has resulted in people dropping down a level like I did? RV folks have to be at a certain level, but the rest of us don’t unless you want to park next to the stadium. Oh for the days when a basic membership and a $100 tag on got you an RV pass. Long gone.
Cardinal level donors by year (during my parking selection time):
2025: 1,321
2024: 1,267
2023: 1,247
2022: 1,390
Not sure about the other levels.
Those were my thoughts as well. We are 380 in the State tier and we pick Monday at like 2:00. I'm not even sweating getting bumped to Vet Med this year, in fact there will be a pretty good amount of people moving from Vet Med to B1 this year.
