Any cheap tickets for this one?
All tickets are cheap at Johnny Red Floyd.

$15 is the priced to sell, count me in!You would think. LA TECH tickets are $24 each on the website. For a family of four, that's almost $100. Cheap is $7, not $24. There is, however, a good deal with the Blackout promotion. Ticket - endzone voucher - plus t-shirt for $15 total.

IMO, single-game tickets are overpriced at $24 and eliminates the "family night out" crowd and probably eliminates the casual fan's "guys night." This may explain why attendance has stagnated at 20,000 (+/-) over the past few years.You would think. LA TECH tickets are $24 each on the website. For a family of four, that's almost $100.

I know I'm in the minority but IMHO our FB tickets are too cheap.* No perceived value when fans know how much tickets cost, comparatively, for sporting events at other venues. Also little incentive to buy season tickets when it's common knowledge that promotions will offer better deals during the season.
*Not necessarily true for basketball. For example, fans can buy VU BkB season tickets for end zone balconies cheaper than any season tickets for MT. And they get to see more home games in most years and face it, a higher level of competition. But, this problem has more to do with the layout of Murphy Center and the resulting inability to enforce seating patterns therefore differentiating seating levels.
Perceived value doesn't have any meaning when you have a supply and demand problem.
Until we get to a 24-25K average we should focus our efforts on butts in the seats. Its about creating new fans right now. We simply don't have enough of them.

Spot on!Perceived value doesn't have any meaning when you have a supply and demand problem.

Small children is my issue, I don't want to pay the current full price ticket for a 3 and 5 year old who probably won't stay past halftime for a night game. That's why I usually end up at the games with ticket promotions
Yes!I'm going to wade into this again against my better judgment.
There's nothing any marketing whiz can do when the product is unappealing.
This program isn't successful in the eyes of the consumer.
The irony of the college football's pursuit of the almighty television dollar is the combination of ESPN and HDTV make getting fans to the games a challenge. Let's see, I can either spend $50 bucks on two tickets for my wife and I, spend 2+ hours in the car driving to the Boro, and then another $20 bucks on concessions. When you add in gas, I just spent $100 bucks to on MT FBLove it, hate it, complain about it all you want, call it fairweather, call it bandwagon, whatever- you're either winning championships or you're a loser.
6-6 seasons don't cut it. You can't sell this. You never will be able to sell this. Not all the fancy promos and giveaways and gimmicky uniform games can lipstick up this pig.
The product on the field has been producing 'Meh, it's ok" results. So we get "meh, it's ok" attendance.
This isn't a uniquely MT problem - large swaths of empty seats can be see in the SEC/B12/B10, etc when their respective teams aren't playing well.
All the free hot dogs and t-shirt tosses and B1G1 vouchers are nothing more then yelling Freebird at the band while standing on the deck of the Titanic. You're still going down, it just makes it a little more fun.
Fancy pants and uniforms are recruiting. Kids love the shiny new helmets and jerseys.Solution - make the product better. How? Well, we're stock...er...stuck with what we have for a while. At this point, the only thing we can do is continue to invest in the program. IPF. Football facility. Bigger budget for recruiting. There is a direct correlation between $$$'s spent and wins. Stop spending money on fancy pants uniforms (hey, we at least look stylish while getting blown off the field!) and irrelevant promos that are unlikely to provide anything but a short term boost and invest in the program.
If we were 3-0 I wonder if the apathy would be talked about in this thread.
Look, it's hard to be an MT fan. But I can't help myself! I would rather watch us than anyone.
Prediction: La Tech 45 MT 41. As long as James is returning punts, I think we'll give away at least 7 points a game. Attendance 19,000.
