I splurge on the box seats that comes with a BBQ, and I think last year they were $125 or so. Snacks and drinks in the box (nothing amazing, chips and cookies and sodas, but still something), and easy access to the restrooms plus the views from the box with all seats more or less no farther out than the 25yrd. You had me at "easy access to the restrooms". Sitting in the Lucas Oil "blast zone", I'm thinking about taking a bedpan or wearing an adult diaper in August. Or maybe one of those auto johns. 😂 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t even think I could enjoy myself. Hahaha. I told him go to go up the road to Putters and watch with the rest of the fanatics. I’m fortunate enough to have a relative with season tickets for Michigan football. I get to see a couple of live games a year for virtually nothing but beer money 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurassic Lancer Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 (edited) 2 hours ago, Chief Guns said: Yea that's the one downside to your team being good. Ticket prices soar. 2015-2018 when the Niners were sucking, me, wifey, son and daughter could all go to the game and I would spend less than $200 on the tickets total. Since 2019, Niners have been Super Bowl contenders, ticket prices are outrageous! My wallet was sending out distress signals lol. And God help you if you're thinking about buying food at Levi's Stadium. One time, I got four pretzels, and four bottled waters for us, they wanted me to harvest my organs to pay for it. The prices there are insane. I hear you, brother. Getting Lions tickets was a cheap deal until last year … you could get them for a song … the prices have really shot through the roof (er, dome) since. I might be able to go to one game next year.

I got free tickets for Illinois games from my son because he was in the band. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the production has expanded beyond John Philip Sousa and symmetrical formations, the audience is not. Who the activity sell tickets to has not expanded. Yea $50+ for a show where maybe ONE corps will be worth sitting through if you are not a parent or fan really can sting. I, for one, have expanded since my marching days. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
