Barn charging five bucks for their spring game

[Crimson1967]

What is the reason for this? Even if 50,000 show up, that's only $250,000 in revenue. Plus they have to pay to print tickets and pay someone to sell them at the gate.

I assume our A Day game is still free?

Yes it is, and I wish it wasn't. Charge $5 and donate all proceeds to a local charity or a scholarship.

 

[Crimson1967]

If it were for charity, that's fine. I've heard some places charge a can of food to get in. But I didn't see any indication the money is going anywhere but to the athletic department's coffers.

 

[Bodhisattva]

Didn't you know? Auburn can charge $5 because all the people who go to their games are alums who are CEOs of engineering firms.

 

[Tiderollin32]

Well what Alabama doesn't make by charging for entrance it more than makes up for with concession stands when you have 80 and 90,000 people in attendance.

 

[Ole Man Dan]

Auburn must charge $5.00, because their players expect to be paid...
50,000 fans @ $5 would buy another Cam Newton.

(NO... I WON'T LET IT GO...)

 

[DiamondDust]

Auburn has charged for their spring game as long as I can remember.

 

[CullmanTide]

Barner at work insist they would fill Jordan-Hare it it was free like Alabama's game. That's a sad statement and if it was true it'd be even worse.

That money goes to the groups working the concession stands.

I would hope the Bama fans present tomorrow would be willing to pay $5.

 

[ValuJet]

$5!!!!

Hardly worth it.

Shows what I know about Auburn now days. I didn't know.
But then, I don't care what the boys do in the Barn.

 

[GrayTide]

If I am an au fan they would have to pay me $5 to watch that crap.

 

[bamabelle1991]

If I am an au fan they would have to pay me $50,000 to watch that crap.

FIFY.

They have to find a way to help finance the new trees ...

If the Blue team wins, will people who were cheering for the Orange still roll the trees?

That is exactly what I was going to post gotta pay a player or two to get them on the team.

 

[Capt. Jack]

Yes it is, and I wish it wasn't. Charge $5 and donate all proceeds to a local charity or a scholarship.

If they start charging I won't go. I pay enough for regular game tickets and I already donate to charities of my choosing.

 

[JBama_in_PCOLA]

It's good for them not to charge. Glad I can save a little money going up though if it's good for a charity I may fork over $5 but it's good like it is.

I can see this happening.......
At least the Aubie fans can go watch their team actually win a game.........
