Subject: Ticket Prices? Author: LionFan [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 21:30:57 05/10/08 Sat In reply to: LionFan 's message, "Culture Change?" on 23:33:37 05/09/08 Fri Based only on a couple of trips to Princeton and Yale, I suspect Columbia's ticket prices are far in excess of the rest of the league. If CU charged the $5.00 Princeton charges, I wonder what the crowds would be like? [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Price Elasticity 101 Author: Roar [Edit] Date Posted: 04:37:09 05/11/08 Sun I agree that ticket prices, at around $15 and $10, are too high, especially for a long-struggling program. Bringing them down a notch or two would probably result in more revenue in the long run from the increased attendance that I'm sure would result. Further comments? [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

These are people who are used to triple-digit prices for Knicks, Rangers, Giants, etc. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Author: LionFan [Edit] Date Posted: 21:43:13 05/11/08 Sun I'm thinking less about alumni attendance and more about neighborhood guys who have families and are priced out of pro sports, youth programs, and sports buffs who are looking for thing to do with kids.
