There will always be price increases. 4% is pretty fair and minimal.
We do get a bonus P4 (SEC) home game this fall in place of the routine 3rd buy game thanks to the SEC going to 9 conference games. The best part part is that season ticket prices were already locked in for next fall.

The dollar lost 10% of its value in 2025.

Just hasn’t been worth it for a while now. Can watch at home. Especially with the lack of quality games, late night, week night games and parking issues.

Redvol said:I get it. Don’t be dragging any slivers of sunshine into the doom and gloom. The bottom line is there will continue to be price increases in every sport. Fans have the choice to pay the prices to attend and support the teams or we can choose to not pay the prices and support the teams in other ways. Or, third option, we can walk away. Nobody that is paying to be on a message board dedicated primarily to Tennessee Vols athletics (along with the Braves, the weather, destination restaurants and various other OT’s) has yet chosen to walk away.Basketball

FallVol20 said:Season tickets have been sold out every season for the past few years. It’s worth it to a lot of us. Tennessee has one of the largest basketball arenas in the country and fills it consistently. The same goes for Neyland Stadium and football. The reality is that Tennessee fans are willing to pay the current prices to attend football, basketball, baseball and softball games. The season ticket sales and gameday attendance proves it out.Just hasn’t been worth it for a while now. Can watch at home. Especially with the lack of quality games, late night, week night games and parking issues.

Interestingly my wife and I were adding up the cost of our season ticket commitments in the football and both basketball teams last night after we got back from the game. It’s getting outrageous.
we are not talking about giving them up just looking at the cost. no question they are pricing some fans out of it.
