Checked online. Tickets on our official site are still fairly expensive. Why not drop by 25-40 percent or so and get 5-15k more to the game?

I've been griping about this for years. Why increase prices when you cant sell the tickets?

Ask the business school professor who's running the university. He'll tell you he's looking into it.

Right…

I'm beginning to feel like Lyons is too nice a guy and is the type who wants to make everyone happy. That's not what's needed here dude

Firing the people who need to be fired RIGHT NOW is not practical. With Knowlton, obviously there is the contract issue. With the other people and with Knowlton, it's that cleaning house mid season is problematic because you won't fill those jobs immediately. If things don't change in the offseason, I might agree with you.

Back in the day when I was at Haas we did did a ticket pricing presentation for our group marketing project. He's welcome to use it if I can dig it up. I'll wait for the PM 🤣

I don't feel like firings necessarily need to happen right now. But I do think there needs to be accountability (something that doesn't seem to exist in the ADs office). Lyons needs to say X Y Z needs to happen, if it doesn't, you're gone. I'm doubt that's happening because you're still not seeing any urgency from knowlton, Markeisha, etc. They need to understand that their cushy job is on the line.

You sound like they're actually doing work and we need to maintain at least some semblance of continuity, but the reality is that they aren't doing squat, and it will always be the middle of one season or another. Firing Markeisha would probably boost morale across the board, and there are likely a dozen underlings who are at least as qualified, with actual ties to Cal, who give a damn and are ready to tackle the challenge. Same with James Arthur Knowlton, who isn't even on campus all the time. How could it get any worse? The cancer isn't holding this body together.

How do we know this hasn't happened? These kind of things usually happen in offices, behind closed doors. I wouldn't expect a press release or interview where Lyons states that X, Y, and Z need to happen. We have to trust this has happened already through proper channels.

I think it is reasonable to assume the ticketing effort by Wilcox and staff was not organic to the head coach and staff. At the very least, ATO had to provide the tickets to be handed out. And I suspect some sort of approval was required of someone in the AD office.

I know it's fun to be hyperbolic in our approval and disapproval of administration and coaches and players - we're sports fans; we only speak in hyperbole. But…

aun, ur both clueless & uniformed, this is a GRASSROOTS student tix drive by the cal football program

So they purchased the tickets and are distributing them? Do you have evidence, or this another example of schlocky talking out his ass?

And what kind of narcissist jerk formats his posts in italics? Do spray a cloud of aroma therapy oils in the air and strike a meditation gong every time you post?

yeah the gameday dj who plays over the great cal band

Bears 2-0, if midterms haven't hit it should be a good student turnout.

Let's be real - the price of our tickets is not a barrier to anyone wanting to go to the game. If we let everyone in for free tonight - would we sell out? Best case, we get an extra 5k in the stands - but still be laughably short of 50k. If we develope a consistently competitive team the seats will sell.

I believe we are the only country that does dynamic pricing. Meaning, the higher demand for a specific section, the higher the prices go. Ticket prices will always start high though. I would imagine our ticket prices are on an upward trend because we won last week and Ticketmaster, SeatGeek or StubHub price it high.

I don't agree. My friends (who are not Cal fans) but enjoy college football, particularly when it's a loud environment, want good seats and do not want to spend $75. They can get great seats to a Giants game for that. They can practically sit in the dugout at an A's game for that. We need to bring in casual fans and the price of tickets discourages that.

lol - I just spent $15 to get in the door and I'm currently sitting in seats with seatbacks. Comparing A's tickets to big-time (ACC?) college football is a joke. Good seats for a Cal game is peanuts compared to other "real" football schools. Going to a Cal game is cheaper than going to a Movie.

How is the crowd?

The pricing is insane.

I missed SBs post for Davis by a few hours, but...

I just don't feel like I am buying anything of value when I go to games. The atmosphere sucks. Which is OK if the team is a banger, which is rare. But mostly, I got tired of visiting fans sitting in my ridiculously prices season ticket section, and harassing Cal fans around them, every single game.

Since I stopped buying season tickets last season (after 4 decades), I took the family to Idaho, and mediocre seats from the calbears for 6 people was a kick in the nuts to sit in a 20% occupied section.

I understand the idea, short term, of preserving the perceived value of the product. But we're in like 9 of 10 years of declining attendance. The pricing isnt aligning supply and demand.

It's too many variables against, too few for.

Give him a kick a kick a kick

For the record, I just looked up the prices on Calbears.com and the Miami game has tickets for around $50 in the end zone to $110 in the sections near the middle of the field. Nothing close to $15 a ticket.
