<p>If you go to a school that plays football in one of the BCS conferences (ACC, Big East, Big 10, Big 12, Pac 10, SEC) or the rest of Division I-A (I don't recall what its new PC name is), how much do you pay for student football tickets?</p>
<p>For example, I go to the University of Alabama. Our student football tickets are $5 a game. A season student ticket package is around $50 (all home games plus fees).</p>
<p>I'm wondering because I saw that at Michigan a student season package is $200 -- that was very surprising to me.</p>
<p>I know at Pac-10 schools, games are “free” – aka, built into the tuition and student fees, students just have to go pick up a ticket every week or something like that. My roommate is from the town of a Pac-10 school and this is what I’ve heard her talk about.</p>
<p>I’m at a Big 12 school and our tickets are $125 I think. But I work for the football team so games are free and life is good!</p>
<p>We were picked by ESPN as one of the favorites to win the national championship this year, as we were one of the best teams last year, and the ticket prices were ridiculous. It was like $35 per a game, and you had to wait outside for like 2-4 hours to get them. If you missed out on that, you were going to be paying a lot more.</p>
<p>At Nebraska student ticket prices are $21 a game and have been for quite a few years - but you have to buy season tickets. They also require you to buy them on-line but then charge you an extra $5 for the online service charge. With 7 home games it works out to $152, or with 8 home games $173. Totally worth every penny though. Of course we’ve sold out every single home game since 1962, and this upcoming season will have our 300th consecutive sellout. </p>
<p>Basketball on the other hand is usually like $25 or $30 for the entire season plus a t-shirt, plus you get entered into a raffle every game you go to for some awesome prizes. I had a friend who won a portable dvd player one year.</p>
<p>^BC raised the prices up to $20/ticket for home games this season, so for 6 homegames it costs about $120 (or $140 if you’re around for the Thanksgiving game).</p>
<p>Pac-10 is definitely not all free. At UCLA it’s $8 per football game, and I think season tickets are about $75. Season tix are the only way to be able to go to the USC game, unless you get one from a friend or something. As for basketball, I don’t think you can even buy them up front, there’s a lottery and you’re randomly selected for various season packages.</p>
<p>UCLA is a bit of a strange case because their stadium (the rose bowl) is some distance from the campus. Add on a couple lackluster seasons and a NCAA tournament basketball team, it’s a bit more difficult to lure students to games.</p>
<p>USC student tickets aren’t transferrable (you swipe your ID to get in…unless you want to risk/trust someone else with your ID). </p>
<p>The $145 for 6 games wasn’t such a bad deal, especially when you consider their home schedule for last year (Ohio State, Oregon, Cal, Arizona State, Notre Dame, Washington) = 3 bowl teams + a 10 win team from the year before + traditional rivalry game.</p>
and life is good!</p>
