BLVD PARKING PRICES GO UP AGAIN!

So they had these new Football Season Ticket Brochures available at Moody tonight. It was new because they had now provided the parking prices for the Boulevard. To my chagrin, they are up again across the board to the tune of about 25%.

The same South Boulevard spot that cost us $80 a season for the first 7 years will cost $600 next season. That's up from $480 last year.

The North Boulevard tents are being prices at upwards of $850.

How can they possibly justify another increase after the 600% increase of a year ago, especially after the 1-11 season and a Boulevard attendance rate of maybe 75%????? This is an outrage!

It doesn't seem like good business to me to gouge your loyal customers year after year after year. We've had the same spot and same season tickets since the stadium opened. Where's the loyalty to me?

Maybe they should worry about getting people to the game before they jack up the price on those who have coming to the games for so many years.

Sorry for the rant, but this is Peruna Excrement!!!!

One thing is for sure. My Mustang Club donation will decrease by at least the amount of the parking increase. I challenge all other Boulevard spot holders to do the same.

Wow that's pretty ridiculous. I thought it was supposed to be the other way around. Win games, then jack up the prices.

They know that with the June Jones hype, they'll sell. Honestly, I'm a little surprised the increase wasn't bigger - grateful, but surprised.

There hasn't been much worth paying a premium for in the last 20 years.

Come on guys you paid only $80 bucks for a spot a few years back? Just be thankful someone didn't know the real value of those spots. There's now a waiting list to get spots, raising the price only makes sense. That's a lot of entertainment for $100 game. If you can't afford the price just get a buddy to split the cost.

It's not about whether or not I can afford it. It's the principle of the thing. 1-11 isn't exactly a good reason to raise prices. Everyone is excited about JJ, but his salary was paid for by the Circle. So, there should be no reason to raise anything.

Plus if there is such a demand and a waiting list, why was the Boulevard half empty in November. What really needs to happen is that the people who don't use their spots be removed. Then there would be plenty of spots for everyone who wants them.

If you didn't notice, $100 a game is more than the Cowboys charge. And they were 13-3!
