Price Gouging

[VolInsider]

Did anyone else at the game notice the price of certain items?

For the first time ever, vendors came walking through the stands selling merchandise. At the start of the game hats were $20, Visors were $10. By the 3rd quarter though, Hats were $30 and Visors were $22?!

Also, the concession stands ran out of fountain Coke ($2.50) in my area, so they sent the Coke guys around with plastic bottles of Coke...for $3.50.

Also, everyone in our area ran out of bottle water.... So the fountain stands were selling water out of a sink for the same price as the soft drinks. I Don't drink a lot of soda's but I had to settle for one yesterday. 3.50 for a cup full of sink water is rediculous!

Wow, that is a load of crap. Note to AD, most of us appreciate the last remaining shreds of sanctity in college sports as opposed to pro - and part of that is keeping things affordable and not purely profit based. $3.50 for freakin' sink water, if thats true, makes me ill.
