Quite pleased actually. I thought the pricing for many of the sections was going to be higher.

Pleasantly surprised, I expected much worst. The Per-Seat Donations seem very reasonable (except for the the FF,H sections).

Agreed...the ticket prices for non-End Zone seats work out to a little over $40/game. Methinks the AD did learn something from the AT&T issues and is pricing these babies to move!

Not bad.<br /><br />Students still in the correct seats.<br /><br />No Blue Zone.<br /><br /><br /><br />Anyway, I hope they priced it right... I am also glad we are playing nevada for the first game... two Blue teams (fans wearing blue) should make the pictures of the stadium look awesome

Of course, I might have just gotten use to the gouging this year. If so, well played ATO!<br /><br />It is a shame that YA is only for 5 years now though. We really should work on building that YA base into lifelong season ticket holders. I also think it would be cool if they scaled it, say 120 for 1 year out up to 200 by year 5. Might get a few more folks into it.<br /><br />Looking at the map I see some good options in my range... unless theres a run on T & TT.

I asked in the other thread, but what is the span of our new press box? yard line to yard line, section to section...

Pleased with the prices, but I note that the sections reserved in the South Endzone for "Groups or Single Game Tickets" are right next to the visitors' section and could result in a very large visiting section on the South Side.

Well done athletic department!!! A win over a high profile program like Texas in a reasonably decent bowl, combined with more mouth-watering pictures of the emerging Memorial 2.0, and tickets at those prices will *move*. Now all we need is for the team to do their part...

Agree with everyone that overall pretty reasonable. Blue Zone eliminated will cause a run on the Gold Zone.<br /><br />Do these prices include Big Game? I'm guessing not.

My 10 years was almost up, but I was hoping that they would let me stay in that section so long as I paid the regular "reserved" rate, i.e., I would just lose the discount, but still get to sit there. Everywhere else in the stadium doesn't have the same energy as the young alumni section (except the students) and I am going to really miss that. Looks like ponying up the extra cash for the T/TT sections will be my best bet.

Not too bad. seems like they could have charged more of a premium for the west side seats like DD,D,J,JJ and K since they are upgraded versus the east side sections... but $300 for I'm guessing 7 home games is about what it was at the old CMS in even years. I'd almost call it a bargain with Oregon, UCLA and Stanford... plus Nevada will be surely exciting (CP, please figure out the pistola), and ASU and UW aren't bad games either. <br /><br />IIRC, the old 'preview' pricing started at $1900 for what is now $1200, and was $1200 for what is now $400 (can't remember any other donations off hand)... so IAD definitely learned their lesson from the ATT fiasco, now let's get CMS sold out and full for every game - no excuses. <br /><br />[quote=]Is it just me or do we give visitors way better seats than any other school?<hr></blockquote><br /><br />Rather big visitor section... 6 sections with the old spacing is nominally 9k seats. But where else to put them? those are the worst seats at memorial because they are the old seats with 1920's legroom and porta potties.

I've never seen the season ticket prices for anything other than students, but if they're really that cheap, I'm going to be going to home games for the rest of my life.

Thought I remembered hearing that you can request to keep young alum section seats once you cross over, just half to pay full price? Just passed my 10 year mark anyways and hope to not have to sit somewhere else...

It's interesting how the prices were tiered near ESP. You could see the wheels turning: The ones RIGHT NEXT to ESP (FF, H) can't be too cheap, or the ESPers will be upset. But then, they need to get cheaper, faster (F, HH), or who's gonna actually buy them.<br /><br />So my question is, why would anybody pony up relatively big bucks to be just one section closer to ESP/midfield, when they could be in HH/F for significantly cheaper? There must be some other perks in H/FF, right? Nicer chairs? Hot waitresses and bathrooms with valets? (Er, wait, those last two are reserved for ESP...)

Looks to me that Section Q is now open to anyone. So, I'm guessing the logic is that "old" New Alumni can elect to remain there? Either way, I think the ATO should brand it that way - as a hard-core rooting section for those who have graduated from both the student and New Alumni sections but still want the rowdy eastsider atmosphere.

So someone might give $2,500/year to Bear Backers regardless of what's required for their seats...someone like that could get two seats in FF or H for the $2,500 donation plus $600 for the two season tickets. And that person might not be interested in spending $5500/year for two ESP seats.

Didn't hear them once all game (which was by far the best thing about that day.) Maybe someday we can build on Tightwad Hill, and get a similar effect. <img src="<img src="<img src="<img src="<img src="

I think T had some longtime seat holders who will now get reseated, especially by people like me who have decent level of priority points for a non-ESP holder and prefer to be on the East Side. Sorry!

I'm sad but I'll live. Better get on my horse when the time comes to order Gold Zone tickets. That section will sell out quick. I'd sit in some other (cheaper) sections but the seats look worse than what's in the Gold Zone and they are more expensive???<br />It sure seems like the South end zone will be very loud with visitor noise during our bigger games. That should not happen. Why not make the visitor sections two opposite corners? Just watch, the SC game is going to be a real problem when we are on offense down by the south end zone

No one in Q or QQ sits in assigned seats anyway, so I feel like Q tickets are just full price "Young Alum" tickets.

But it would be better if we gave them sporadic sections throughout the stadium so the sound wouldn't build when they cheer.

The people there just tend to morph around others, so it's an easy section to get extra's into since the people are young and usually don't put up too much of a stink about sitting in their exact seats, but they are still assigned/reserved.
