Of course it is and many of our fans aren't willing to pay market rate for tickets
I would consider "Market Rate" to include comparisons to other programs in our conference who are not perennial NCAA tournament visitors like UCONN, Cincy, Memphis, Wichita.
Tulane and Central Florida have talented teams with future 1st/2nd round NBA talent on the court. What are they charging?
Houston has a brand new arena, success in the NCAA tournament, and possible 2nd rounder in NBA draft. They have been to post-season 9 of last 14 seasons with 2 NCAAs. What are they charging?
Donation to sit court-side? $500

Hate to be irresponsible and throw facts out there, but for the right to buy those coog floor seats it's a 50k capital gift PER SEAT requirement. Loge are 30k per two seats and club which sound about like my SMU seats require 10k per seat.
Their process sounds similar too.

That is not the same thing as an annual donation. Those capital gifts are payable over 5 years. It’s a different structure.

Didnt say it was the same. I said that there's more to it than 500/500.
The most similar part to ours is this:
"While the commitment provides a greater opportunity to purchase...it does not create a right to the location of these seats, as this will be determined during the seat selection process."
That part, I will say, is exactly the same.

SMU's capital gifts are payable over time too.

When we sell out all our tickets, then we are at market rate. Until then, it’s a cash grab.

The seats you had were fine, did you still stay on the aisle and just move down a few?

Yeah right . To be honest I'm pretty sure you quit buying basketball season tickets also but a few years ago - and you're just trolling
