The season ticket cards that were sent to season ticket holders make it far less convenient for season ticket holders to unload spare tickets outside the arena unless they do some conscious planning on exactly what games they are definitely going to. These days not as simple for non-season ticket buyers, as past years, to pickup $5 and $10 and freebie tickets in the parking lot and just outside the arena.
I requested conventional printed tickets when I called the ticket rep to buy season tickets. Seems like the ticket office conveniently ignored my request. I'm not surprised. After 25 years of buying Rutgers football tickets and needing to wait on HPSS's Customer Service line at half-time of a football game for my "25 years of consecutive buying" gift (a cheesy magnetic holder suitable for the front of a refrigerator), it looks like I'll need to wait on another line to get printed tickets rather than having them mailed to me as originally agreed to by the ticket office.
I sit in 100s and my per ticket cost is way more than $80. I'd be mildly upset to see someone sitting next to me at a lower price.
If you could just cherry pick games at, say, $50 in lower level then that would be screwing the people that have been buying season packages and forking over donations to retain those spots above and beyond any "face value" ticket price. Not sure how this is hard to understand. When I was a recent graduate and didn't have a lot of cash to throw around for even the small donation that RU began asking for for 100 level seats in the early '90's, I banished myself to the 200 level. A friend of mine just cherry picked games without paying any donation and paying normal face value back then and was sitting courtside for a bunch of good games. I felt like I screwed myself by buying season tickets. The Athletic Dept and Ticket Office are a bit more savvy nowadays.
the tix are priced appropriately for the 100 level, why does the OP think he should get a break for those level seats which are only available because we have a patheticly low season ticket base and some of us are actually up in 200. You are free to sit in the 200 level for a cheaper price but for choice seats in the house, you should be paying $80 because that's how it is everywhere
Think there wasn't a method to their madness? RU purposely did this to kill the extra ticket market.
FWIW, RU sold tickets in my section (114) for the Central Arkansas game for only $25! That's far less than we pay as season ticket holders. But, $80 is ridiculous.
Anyone who views Rutgers season tickets in FB or BB as something that hold their value after purchasing is just not facing reality. Supply exceeds demand by a wide margin given the state of both programs. While they may make them harder to recoup even a portion of your "investment" for individual games, I would view this as just another reason not to buy them in the first place.
Looks like all non conference games will be $2 on Black Friday at the stadium for the 300 Level. $2 freaking dollars. Might buy 25 and donate them.
