Yep, $75 for a single season ticket. It's a deal and a half. Those are the seats I have (4 of them).

We Ute fans lucked out in that our tickets didn't go up when the stadium was expanded for the '02 Winter Olympics.

Basketball ticket, OTH, are substantially more expensive, because if you want decent seats, you have to pony up cash for the right to buy the good seats. My father-in-law pays $3000 just so he can buy his tickets.

I'm jealous. Season tickets are close to $450 this year. Our most expensive game is Miami at $77.

Well, move to SLC and join us in the cheap seats! I know that there are two right next to mine on row 13.

So far, I get to use my folks' tickets when they are out of town. Best seats at Rice Eccles! The U seats are still reasonable for the corners and some parts of the endzones, but they seats in the "desirable" sections are getting pricey and usually require a donation to the Crimson Club.

Barbara Gordon - I feel your pain! I went to grad school back east and if I hadn't been a student, I would have been paying loads for good seats! ESPN gameplan was perfect back then.... nowadays, not so much, but that's an entirely different post!

Cheers (remember, only about 3 months 'til preseason camps open!)

yeah, it's nuts. I googled and found the BYU prices. you guys have got it pretty good. Although I was surprised to see different prices for different seats. All our seats are the same prices, with the exception of skyboxes and such.

I occasionally bum tix off of my parents, and the neighbors work for the athletic dept and will occasionally share, too. But in general it's all Gameplan...
