This has been brought up in different threads in the past, but what should RU do for season ticket pricing for this coming year? With a very small amount of account holders (rumored to be around 800 total for perhaps around 2000 seats), I think RU needs to get creative and smart to try and get more seats sold. Sure, the games will be sold against the top B1G teams, but the OOC games were a nightmare in terms of folks in the building/tickets sold.
My first thought in this is that they need to offer a family zone for affordable season tickets, and that should be the entire 300 level (which is almost always empty now). Make these $150/ticket for the season. I bet you'd see folks buy it for that price and it would actually get folks in the building. Even if they don't make all the games, at least seats are sold for something.
Then, for the 200 level (not sure what they are charging now), you go to something like $200 or $250 per seat, and require some type of donation (possibly scaled to how close you are in the 200 level) as part of it.
Then, for the 100 level, you have your top level seats which require donations and cost more (not sure again of the price they charge now).
And in addition to season tickets, just as football has done, get some mini plan offers out there too. Perhaps something like the following.
5 game pack: 3 OOC and 2 B1G games
8 game pack: 4 OOC and 4 B1G games
What does everyone think?
