It seems that the quarterfinals bring with it a 20% increase( $5-$6) in ticket prices. Do the quarterfinal teams get a cut?

IHSA sets the fee and home team gets a percentage of the gate, I believe they get a guarantee if there is a small turnout .

Even the visitors get a cut

the biggest money maker by far for the IHSA is the hoops tournament .........football I believe is second.......if you check the IHSA website they show the numbers. So when you think about expanding the playoffs to more teams and less regular season games...........it is really just more $$$ into the IHSA pocket. That is what structure and admin functions do .......they take more and more.....always....never less.

BBB and FB are what help to subsidize the other sports and their state series.

And it was soo much better when it was 8 teams downstate. Those atmospheres were packed, I imagine they made significantly more.

This is from the IHSA terms and conditions about gate receipts

1. The host school shall receive a host school guarantee of the greater of $975 or 10% of the gross income, the cost of the game officials and 15% of the net income. The IHSA office will pay all playoff officials. 2. The visiting school shall receive the greater of 15% of the net income or $5 per round trip mile for the first 50 miles and $3 for each additional mile.

I would also love to know how much they are making offstreaming now....because everyone bitching about the rise from $5 to $6 dollars are in a lot of cases the same people paying $10 a month to watch it at home so...

lol.....while waiting in line for tickets talking on their $700+ smartphones drinking a $5 cup of Starbucks....I don't think this increase is new is it....seems like they raised the prices for later rounds years ago....I may be wrong..

Yeah, the schools can have all their events streamed free via NFHS. The loophole is that NFHS charges viewers for broadcasted sporting events (non-sporting events can optionally be free). If NFHS isn't covering the game and the school has a broadcast class/club, then ite also free. Facebook/YouTube don't count because they're not actually on the school's website and actually on Facebook/YouTube (embedding doesn't count).

The past 2 years I've shelled out the $10 for the month to watch playoff football.I cancel as soon as the playoffs are done.Pretty good deal if you are someone who likes watching high school football. Kind of nice too being at a game in person and can check out some other games at same time.This year it's a godsend since I had a total knee replacement 5 weeks ago and my mobility was limited the first 3 weeks.

I’ve done the same thing. A big problem is a lot of times the game I want to watch is a poor stream, constantly buffering,etc.

The struggle is real. Many times, the game is at a complex with poor cell service and certainly not high speed broadband. Add on to that the people who have the best of intentions, but really don't know what they're doing. A stream set to stream at a lower quality can actually look much better than a stream set to a higher quality that exceeds the uplink.
