The heat needs to be put on the athletic department

Neyland is noticeably quiet this year. I said it in another thread, but these are the results you get when you price out the blue collar diehards who want to go down there and shred their voices for a chance at making a difference in the game.

Now, you have the whales who can afford to pay Disneyworld weekend prices for a single game, except they sit there on their hands like your local high school's resident blue hair season ticket holders. The wine and cheese whales looking for a "Saturday experience in Knoxville."

Even Alabama wasn't charging these kinds of prices when they were winning natties every other year, and that's even when you adjust for inflation. Yes, we're consistently good now. Far and away more so than we've been in decades. When was the last time we won the conference? Even the division when those existed? So, what exactly are we paying $400+ in the nosebleeds for? There are actually seats for sale at over $1K. For WHAT?
The fans have been taken advantage of because we're fans, and the Neyland atmosphere is losing its edge as a direct result. I won't hear a word about paying players being the reason either. Make no mistake, Tennessee has F off money in the bank. They're not hurting for anything, but they'll send out emails asking for donations to help replace the roll up door on the concession stand in Y9, or replace the goalposts, etc. Total joke.

The pure envy is outrageous brother.

Market dictates prices. If I’m putting a value on something, protesting prices in the mist of what is going on with college football currently is an ATROCIOUS idea man. With all due respect, it just is what it is.

But it seems like you don’t know how the third party ticket sellers work. If I’m being honest.

Clearly you weren’t at the UGA game. My ears were ringing.

I don’t know what the crowd is like, because I can’t afford to take my family to the game to judge in person. I would love to take my kids to their first game, but we’d spend $1,000 for the four of us!

Gotta watch the prices. Prices for arky tickets started dropping this morning. I got lower bowl tickets to UAB for 45 bucks each.

Out of curiosity (last game I went to was Kiffin's O & W game, don't @ me tho, I was at the '82 AL game & The Tennesse Waltz, among many others that long ago, damn, I'm old) how much is a 16 oz beer?

It’s always cracked me up how many Tennessee fans tell other Tennessee fans how to be fans! I’ve seen it at TBA. I’ve seen it at Lindsay Nelson Stadium. I’ve seen it at Neyland Stadium for over 40 years. And it’s bled over into social media as well.
