      I’ve never understood how people can shell out that much for tickets to anything. Sit in uncomfortable seats for a couple hours then go home - what the hell is the attraction??

        Festival style concerts. I’m not going to as many these days, and they were much cheaper back in my day, but I’d certainly pay a hundred bucks for a day or two’s worth of music hanging out with people and so forth.

      Haha oh let me really blow your mind - this is for an NCAA game. These ticket prices aren’t even for pro team.

        College football is generally only behind the NFL on ratings. This was also in Texas, where some highschool teams get attendance numbers that are comparable to pro baseball.

          I live in Indiana. One of our “bragging rights” is that ten of the top twelve largest high school basketball arenas are here. The largest can sit about 8,500.

          While I’m having trouble finding a definitive nationwide list, the tenth largest high school football stadium in Texas can fit nearly double that.

      I knows it’s not apples to apples, but my football (soccer) team were charging £40 for the first home game of the season and I just refuse to pay that much. £30 for me is the max I’d pay and that’s only for the “big” games like local derbies
