I think the progressive ticket prices hurt attendance. BYU is probably making more money selling fewer seats this way, but leaves some seats open and no true sellout. Cheap seats in end zone are $55-$65 bucks and sideline nosebleeds are $75-$85. I bit the bullet and bought 4 seats, but these are not casual fan friendly prices.

They ran the usual ticket Tuesday promo offering 10 off tickets. Funny to me people complain about bad home games you get a good and people don't go.

I'm going, but I can see why people don't go. It is cheaper to got to the UCLA game, Michigan game, Missourri game, probably most others than BYU home game. Also, going to those away games is usually cheaper to go through them directly or even a ticket service than through BYU tickets. It should be a little cheaper if you've already forked out money to be cougar club member you would think.

I guess I'll quit complaining that USU doubles the ticket price for the BYU game and I had to pay $40/ticket for a nosebleed. Oh, what am I saying, the stadium is too small to have nosebleed seats. I just hope USU fields a better offense than the one that put up 3 points on SUU :roll:

Sideline tix for BYU vs Mizzou at Arrowhead start (start!) at $125 each. That's at the 10 yard line and they get higher the closer you get to the 50. Not sure what LES is charging these days, but man.

Out of the tickets for my "4 for 40" this home game was the cheapest. I could have gotten $50 seats, but I chose to pay $85. I needed one more ticket and was able to find one on the row right behind my $85 seats for $60, go figure. It is expensive to go to a stadium, but it is the experience that you are paying for. I would guess that it is the traffic that is more of a deterrent, than the prices.

We bought sideline, between 20-30 yd line, row 28 for $95, but we bought them a couple of months ago.

Welcome to big time college football. In big time college football, the only cheap tickets typically go to the students.

I'm ok with that if they keep a good product on the field.
