I assume that most folks on this forum embrace the concept of supply and demand, populists or otherwise. Tickets are expensive because there is more demand than supply, much like beach houses and Bitcoin. Expensive tickets are also the direct result of winning. Perhaps you'd like to return to mediocrity?

It's not quite as simple as Supply and Demand meaning what impacts supply or demand is of interest (devil is in the details). As was the initial reason for the post, ticket prices (and rising fees) are going up to support ever increasing costs (NIL, Renovations, etc.). If prices go up enough, quite possibly, 'regular fans' will be priced out of attending games in person (or as many games). For me personally, that's not a good development.

Part of it is also this is a business, like it or not.

And businesses interested in making money don’t care about the poors. It’s an unfortunate and ugly truth. Too much money involved for this thing to be ran any other way. At the end of the day they just want to increase revenue.

I have said my piece before on ticket prices, but I know the struggle is real also. It does suck, but to achieve low tickets likely means low quality. I don't want to live through low quality again. I am hopeful the entertainment district can also provide some game day experiences at a cheaper cost.

You know when the Wagon Queen Family Truckster pulls (backs) into a $40 parking spot, between an Infiniti SUV and Lexus SUV driven by an 18 year old coed, and her friend Bambi. They and their wife beater, hat backwards have been drinking Pappy since 330. Things may be a bit askew.

Yes I heard it all.

60 game season
No fans or home field advantage
Yada,yada,yada, blah,blah,blah.


Don't matter they played the season short or not it counts.

I remember when individuals were talking crap about the strike season in 1981.

Wow. I didn’t think there were this many NBA fans left.

Huge among the younger demos. Always has been. Baseball is being kept alive by the older crowd and basketball is the future for many...soccer's growth may be higher, but volume isn't there yet.

The big thing NBA has going for it is the international following, on top of the below US stats.

At least among my group threads, they're just as obsessed with the NBA as the NFL. They can rattle off all sorts of stats on players. Meanwhile, my brain is filled with UT stats 😅 I try to keep up though, because I do enjoy watching the pro sports when I find time...just don't have much of that these days.

NBA is such a player heavy league most people I'm my age group (29) stopped following the NBA once the players they grew up with retire. Very few care about a team

Totally agree with this sentiment!
Gimme that old time CFB and the classic conferences!

And Notre Dame still without a conference?

Put them in the ”Big 8” along with Boise St to balance out the conference to 10 teams like the rest.

They should have very little problems winning the conference in most years.
