ESPN Dallas: All premium seating sold out

[Bergermeister]

6 of my friends dropped their 14 seats because of the price increase. Had them since stadium opened.

Not a very smart move. But, I guess they showed'em.

nope - individual sales

What do you mean by individual sales? Did they consider buying season tickets in sections that did not require the donation?

[ponydawg]

think he means buying the cheap ones the day of the game, therefore not having to pay the Mustang Alumni Fee.

i just have a quick question. Weren't most if not all of the premium seats sold out last year? i know there was a waiting list for the stadium club for the past several years.

[SMU89]

I always heard the Stadium Club was sold out -- even though attendance didn't give that appearance.

I know that SC seats became available May 1; so, sounds like those newly available seats were acquired by new buyers who presumably will attend the games.

Is a suite one donor at 10 g with 30 g as the buy?
So 40g?

Prices are different for a couple boxes...when I requested info...it was 30K total, 3 year contract...70% of which could be wrote off for tax purposes...

[Mestengo]

I just thought is you could get one for 30 grand, you just get 30 guys to go in and save a ton on tickets ha ha

so you can write off 21k, of which you can deduct 50 %, or 10,500?

[Mestengo]

I think the MC donation is 80% $8000 the box or tickets would be $20,000 at 50% so $18,000 I'm no CPA I don't drink enough.

[NickSMU17]

The boxes aren't that big...WHen I called I thought that would be a good route with some buddies....they only hold like 14-20

[NickSMU17]

They are awesome though....despite the anti- SC and suite crowd on this board...give SMU credit, they built some nice luxury facilities...

10 people at 3k each not a bad deal if a box is the route you want to go. too bad they don't have boxes which also have open air seating in front
