Opened up my email saw that the AD has raised the prices on the bottom 5 rows of the balcony all the way around the balcony, in addition to what I'm pretty sure was a overall tkt raise. The price of success I guess.
Haven't seen WBB prices yet, but if they went up it's just a money grab, the product on the court lately hasn't demanded a price increase and last yrs mass defections didn't help anything.

I see the price increases on my invoice for MBB (ouch), but I don't recall seeing anything in an email (and can't find anything on the website) about the price increases for the front rows of the balcony for MBB. Could you cut-and-paste from the email and/or link to the website? TIA.

Inflation alone they should go up 4%.

And with how poor our budget is compared to those we compete against it makes sense they have to figure out every way possible to generate revenue. Personally I'd like to see them jack up prices on obvious scalpers.

They know who owns the seats but not necessarily who attends the games. The scan just confirms the seat being used doesn't it? The people right around me are all pretty faithful fans we've pretty much make all the games. But I agree with you I think there are some tickets that get scalped the majority of the time.

They should be able to tell. If you have 17 games and the tickets are transferred to 17 other people you are scalping them.

I have a set of 4. 2 get transferred to my brother. If Im selling the other 17 sets to 17 other people they should jack up the price and try to capture the scalpers market. I believe because they all have to be tied to a wallet they can track all of them.
 
Yikes....that'll affect me. I'm in 213 row 3. I always thought it was crazy that I paid the same donation as someone in row 15. But they are getting closer to pricing me out.

Hopefully I don't have to give them up any time though. Getting those seats took a lot of years and a lot of season tickets through bad seasons.

If it wasnt getting bad before the whole NIL and Transfers, they are really going to start pricing a lot of folks out of the market. Guessing season tickets will be hard to sell in the future and people will just buy single game tickets for games they really want to see. When I go to a Packers game I just find the worst team on the schedule because the tickets are usually way lower priced.

Not necessarily true, we've kept our four season tickets through our kids growing up and being busy in activities. Only way we could keep them was to try and break even by selling most since we couldn't make many games. We didn't sell every game, but only were able to make 4-5 games. Now that my youngest will be a freshman at ISU this Fall, we'll use a lot more of our tickets. But it is still an hour drive each way, which takes a lot of motivation for some of those crappy non-con games on week nights in poor weather.

I suspect that the AD sees this as a feature, not a bug. It’s my understanding that the donor demand for seats far outweighs the supply, so they’ve found a method to create “premium” inventory.

That’s why I stopped buying season tickets for basketball last season…some of those night home games got to be too late getting home and getting to work the next day was getting tougher.
