2025 Athletics Update

Irrelevant post u just made. If u had proof to back up your statements that we are higher than most (not sure what that even means) you should copy and paste it. Why wouldn't u?
Because it wont matter, you will still say I am wrong, as you have even with my providing proof.

You want to keep moving the goalpost and I keep wasting my time providing data.

I have yet to see anyone post a single data point that says either we are cheaper, or get significantly more benefits than anyone for the price we pay.
 
Not what the chart shows, according to what it says... 11,500 level does.
No $11,500 gets you a reserved parking LOT so like hey you are guaranteed a spot in B1.

You don’t get a reserved parking spot unless you donate $50,000/year. That’s insane!

Would that have to do with the total number of parking spaces available?

LOL that is what you are hanging your argument on?
So you get a numbered spot at $15K donor level at ISU?

sounds like a huge benefit

I’m not sure the specific details about Oklahoma State’s parking situation. That seems crazy though because I’ve been there and felt like there was plenty of parking around the stadium. One of my favorite away games I’ve been to!
 
You don’t even have to donate $15k to get a reserved spot at Iowa State!
Wow, sounds like a significant upgrade for the high price. You are so right, our tickets are so cheap.

Hope you are in that directors level and buy max tickets to every event, since they are so cheap, and money is no object. Since you think everyone should be, and any price increase is totally worth it, I hope you are one of the big spenders.

My guess half the ones that think ISUs prices are totally fine dont donate nor go to the games, and have never actually compared ours to anywhere else.

Its funny I get crap for dropping my tix, because of the price, and should not have a say, but how many on here think the prices are fine yet have never paid them.
 
Directors comes with 2 parking passes for football, MBB and WBB, 4 Johnny’s passes for MBB, WBB and wrestling, 8 (!!!) lowers for MBB, WBB and wrestling, access to up to 16 Sukup tickets and 4 Jack Trice Club tickets. All huge factors.
What the brochure says you get and what you actually get are not the same. I moved from Captain to Victory this year. I’m presumably eligible for the Jack Trice Club but there is a waiting list and I won’t get tickets in my lifetime. I’m eligible for the 50 yard line sections, but I would have to move to the East side and stare into the sun, so I kept my 35 yard line seats at the top of the lower bowl, West side. For MBB, I’m eligible lower bowl seats, but there aren’t any, so I’m in row 8 of the upper bowl. I’m in the same seats for WBB as last year. If I go back to Captain, I’ll keep all my seats. Next year, if I stay in Victory, I’ll be paying an extra $4500 for slightly closer parking. It could be that going to Director would improve seating, but there is no guarantee.
 
I mean KSU has a much smaller number of students. I have been told that the size of the school directly relates to the alumni, which directly relates to the size of the fanbase. So if those that claim that are correct, we obviously have more.

Personally, I dont think the size of the school or students relates but this was the claim for Texas schools not having the fans outside of UT and aTm.
KSU Donor #s

Based on this article from 2023, KSU has 8547 donors. This is about 30% more than our 6500 in the Cyclone Club, which you'd hope could rely on the higher enrollment/Alumni base at ISU.

I know. I am in the Directors level and couldn’t get two lowers together until the third year of it.

Actually I think most the people that complain the loudest are the people that don’t donate at all.

Am I happy that I have to pay 20% more on my donation and 7% on tickets? Of course not. With revenue sharing coming quickly I did expect it, especially with the contract extensions of TJ and Campbell. My disagreement with you is that you think you have to give more money for tickets and donations at Iowa State than what our peers do. That’s crazy talk.

It feels as though 80% of the regular, heavy posters avoid these threads. I suspect non donors/ticketholders aren’t defending the prices, they are keeping far away from this topic on CF.

This may be partly because their lowest donor amount is cheaper. Their minimum is only $50. But probably only partly, but I am sure it makes a little difference.

Except I have giving you multiple things that prove that.

You have given nothing to say ours are significantly cheaper.

Can they not buy tickets without a minimum donation level? We allow people of buy STs without a donation. Maybe we shouldn’t but the AD has made a commitment to make tix accessible.
