Walk up fans will buy those tickets.
The PSL I'm talking about would be done annually, not a one time fee like was done now. And it wouldn't be for everyone - just those who can only make 10-15 games per year but want their grandstand seats when they do come and for when we host a Regional.
How many fans that go to a game on a SEC weekend have season tickets? At least 50% of them are walk up, and they buy a standing room only general admission ticket. But what if they were allowed to but the chairback ticket of the PSL owner who won't be attending the Saturday and Sunday game because they only wanted to go to the Friday game?
And what about all the other people who would rather sit at home and watch on TV / listen on the radio than have a standing room only ticket? What if they knew they could walk up and get a chairback ticket? The answer is that it would increase attendance from what we already have.
For pretty much every single regular season game save Super Bulldog Weekend, over 50% of the grandstands are empty. That's because the people who have those tickets can't get to every single game. Yet they are willing to buy season tickets. So they'd be willing to fork over 50% of that same money for a PSL, and then another 25% of that money for the games they'll actually attend...totaling 75% of the current revenue. Then you have the rest of the games on the home schedule (which is 75% of them) to make up that remaining 25% of revenue. I'd aim to make that up in ticket sales for SEC games since those are in demand, and then make extra profit selling the non-conference games for $5 or $10 for a chairback.
