I was happy with my small movement in location. Progress is progress.

I'm happy with a small movement these days myself.

Where does it become really tough to make any improvements?

I'm glad I bought the front row aisle seats in 202
originally along with those floor seats. The great news is no stairs - right at the first entrance and restroom. those are great seats on the slant view and I can still spy on my buddies in the loge

I was one of these said rowdy mofos in 202, and we got absolutely hammered on pricing. It was one $250 donation for our whole block (10 tickets) and now it's a $250 donation per seat. The all-in cost per seat is ~$500 now which is pricey for young alumni. I moved to baseline upper, where I could get 2 tickets for less than 1 ticket in 202, but it really sucks how they are screwing the young (and rowdy) alumni with 100% price increases every year. I'm sure my old seat will go to some older alum who leaves the game in between regulation and overtime.

Some of the older alums have been carrying this program for years. Welcome to the fold.

And I am one of those real old(76) alums that was in 105...I have missed less than a handful of home games in the last 20 years...I scream,I watch and I stay...now...there have been games that I left in past years,but not now...let me assure you so called young alums that many of us real old guys got quite a shock at the price increase...I have moved. But we will be there. Smu is now into corporate pricing,not fan pricing..it's their day and they want to bring in the bucks...when I was younger I would have been supportive,but ,man, this cost increase hurts.

They priced me out. If I was in Dallas I would be there but I was not able to attend a single game last year. My tickets were always used but the price became prohibitive to buy them to give away.

When I bought the seats in 202 there was no donation. I have no problem being priced out of the floor I think it's great! How much were they worth to me was the question _ and 12 grand was about twice that number. Donation went from $2500 total to $5000 per seat that was the largest donation increase in Moody. 10 grand will float me in warm places most of the winter :mrgreen:

Oh Yeah the stubhub price went from $800 per ticket to a cool $300 if i could not make a game and wanted to pimp one. $333 is cost per ticket now. So there was that too. Apparently I'm the only broke guy on the floor ha ha. BTW the blue seats are 5 time more comfey thAN REDS. fLOOR were even better
