The fees are outright robbery, especially when you consider that tickets are now paperless. There is nothing to print or transfer or mail. Everything is an electronic transaction that costs only a fraction of a penny

While we are the generation that grew up to this, it seems, in fact, that we are more than willing to continue to take it.

These prices may be inline with other prices and what some are willing to pay. But it is expensive.
In addition, there is more to pay for when you attend a game. But to attend games from out of town costs $1000s.
And yes, tickets are a part of that. To be fair before anyone argues its because we are back winning. Ticket prices never went down even when we went 3-7 and we were not competitive for a decade.

Ticket prices didn’t go down, you are correct. But for me personally, and this won’t apply to most, I thank Jeremy Pruitt for the season tickets I landed in. I have 3 on the front row of EE. 25 yard line. Tough in a September noon game. Sun brutal, but I can look down, see band and student section and both Jumbotrons. These seats wouldn’t have opened up without some cornbread magic. I’m now in $550 seat and I’ll keep those until my kids are using walkers and can no longer keep up with me.

Just got email confirmation: ours are going from the recently-increased price of $1200/ ticket to $1500 next year. That's $6000/4. Probably prices us out, esp with at least two cupcake games every year.

My brother in law has some in the front row of EE. I love those seats! I'm a 1st time season ticket holder this year, I'm in DD row 8. My increase is from $600 each to $700 next year.

The memo also said parking would change in 2024 and more information will be coming later. They will still offer no interest payment plans for up to 9 months on 2024 tickets.

Yup, their entire information technology infrastructure, probably cloud based, probably cost them less than $0.02 in server resources, memory, and database space to complete your entire transaction. They don’t even have „shipping and handling“ anymore since there are no paper tickets. So they made an absolutely criminal profit on each tickets. But as long as the market keeps paying the fees, there will be nothing to stop them from charging them. There needs to be competition between different ticket providers

I am thinking the parking will be included in the ticket price.

I bought 2 tickets in section PP for the USCjr game a few weeks ago. $150ea with $100ea in fees. Came out a little over $500. Outrageous, but all worth if for me to fly out, visit my dad and go to a game with him for the first time so we can cheer on our beloved Vols in an old fashioned a$$whoopin.

Starting prices right now
Season tickets at 1000

Virginia is 84 (Nissan)
Austin Peay is 34 (Neyland)
Florida is 123 (Ben Hill Griffin)
UTSA is 34 (Neyland)
USC is 122 (Neyland)
TA&M is 241 (Neyland)
Alabama is 247 (Bryant Denny)
Kentucky is 161 (Kroger)
UConn is 29 (Neyland)
Missouri is 40 (Faurot Field)
Georgia is 265 (Neyland)
Vanderbilt is 26 (Neyland)

These prices are pretty fair.
Four SEC games starting between 26-122 dollars.
Five games less than 100
Not all are amazing matchups for budget prices but these prices are not worth clutching your pearls over. Very reasonable considering the season Tennessee had and the current projection.

Good tickets aren't cheap. These are probably nosebleed but a lot of fans say there isn't a bad seat at Neyland.

Do you have any G10 passes this season? Taking my wife and daughter to UTSA and Vandy and would like to get some for those games. I bought the season parking pass at Church Street United Methodist Church for other 5 games.

Not defending their pricing but there are other expenses such as security on their website which now a days is a huge expense for websites.

26$?? Crazy. Jk. I took the kids to a Vandy game two years ago to go with some friends that were Vandy fans and paid 36$ for 6 tickets. It costs me 7$ a ticket to watch my daughter play in the band at the local high school lol

I’d believe it. I am luckily a season ticket holder but they are outrageous. I go to a couple away games a year and I just paid 300 per ticket for the swamp

And you will need another hundred bucks for rain gear and umbrellas to dodge the piss bombs!

Considering I use to gamble a lot with nothing in return $1000.00 sounds extremely reasonable. I guess you buy those through the ad office with no overhead? I had them in 98 lol only year ever.
