Left Field Lounge Prices

Faculty /Staff tickets should only be allowed to be used with a faculty ID and it has to match the ticket. And they need to be moved to the worst spots in the stadium.

Football suites are what, like $30,000? Scoreboard club is like $1,800/person.

High time for baseball to catch up.

We lose money on baseball each year but have the most support. Time to recoup some of that. I think they should increase LFL to at least $20k as well as an increase to chairbacks after the 10-year rights are up. Plenty of people with money that would pay to have baseball tickets.

So you gonna raise the chairbacks to 2500 each per year??

[Roy Munson]

I think the only thing with baseball pricing wise that?s a little bit wonky is LFL. They?ve had a pretty low point, and it?s time to up that. Everything else is priced pretty fair.

I don't have a problem with the current location if THEY attend but the optics have been atrocious for years!

Let them sit there if they pay like the rest of us with cost plus donations at the very least. Bonus would be at least one person in the group provide a campus ID

Agree. The free ride should be over. If you want tickets then pay like the rest. You want a discount then take the cheap seats and move to free seats that aren't filled later if you want

[TheLostDawg]

Selmon doing work. Next item after Lounge Pricing is moving Faculty-Staff to nose bleeds

This again and again

[Pancho]

be careful of the safe spacers*******

[Saltydog]

So the LFL'ers should stop handing out so much food so they can cover next years increase.

[SPDawgs]

Selmon came out himself on twitter Sunday and said that these rumors were a lie.

8500 is about half what it should be. It’s not going up nearly enough if that price is accurate. The fact that these people feel entitled to sit in the most premium spots at Mississippi State for peanuts is infuriating.

Maybe the bus driver was right and we have some "spoiled" fans

As much as I bag on the folks out in the LFL, we do not need to price them out. If you do that it will be bought out by corporations or people who could less give a rip and all they truly out there for is to be seen, i.e. Baseball Grove. Right now that's probably 30% of the people out there. If you price them too high it will be 60-70% of the crowd.

Also, most of those types of people do not want to fool with grilling and that is part of the aura of the LFL. You would also lose that

I certainly don't think $8,500/year is pricing fans out, I'd gladly write a check for that and likely hundreds of other fans would too.

Yea I don't think $8500/year is pricing fans out. I was talking about the folks saying we needed to charge $15,000/year. $8500/year split between 8-10 people is what most people pay for 4 seats in football anyways after seat donations.

Baseball is a niche sport that loses money. I don’t give a shit if it loses some charm. When it stops losing money it can worry about that.

Chairbacks essentially cost 150 a seat plus tickets. Lounge is 2500 for 10 people in a reg sized rig is 250 per person plus tickets. Not sure how one should go up and not the other

My chairback is 180 a year not including ticket. Cheap. 1800 for 10 years.

I could see raising lounge without chairback though because I think the lounge would be more coveted. Maybe not.

I'd increase chairback to 225 or 250 yearly and the lounge to 5k.

If you paid it up front it was 1500. So avg out to 150 per. There's no way the chairbacks should be that cheap either. As I said I have some. What's the correct number idk.

That is probably too cheap compared to demand, but I assume that number was tied to the price of building it, so we basically got guaranteed payments (or upfront payments) to match the cost of debt service (or the value of avoiding debt).

We could have just priced them by year but if we had suddenly looked like 2022 and 2023 without the good year in 2019 and national championship first, we might would have had trouble selling them.

$1,500 per chairback seemed like a lot in 2015 before it was built. That's probably why the last chairback season tickets weren't sold until two weeks before the first game. There was no waiting list before right before the New Dude opened. Everyone had their shot. If more had made the commitment, more chairbacks would have been built.

Of course, fans' circumstances change. Maybe they had babies in 2015 and couldn't spend the money then, but could take the family now.

$1,500 might not sound like much now but it was a lot to ask just for a regular seat. Many fans resisted paying $1,500 per seat until they saw how great the stadium turned out. Only then did the waiting list start.
