$235 for season tickets
Diosdado
tickets for the 2002 football season is $235.
"Set ticket prices at $45 for the 2002 home game against Texas A&M. That's
the same price A&M charged last year when the game was played at College
Station. The cheapest home ticket this football season will be $30 - for the
Longhorns' season opener against North Texas. The Horns' game against
Houston and all other Big 12 Conference games will cost $40, the same as
last season. Texas will play six home games in 2002."
They also noted that Texas-ou tickets have increased another $5 from $55 to
$60, but student tickets will remain at $45.

Just for sake of comparison, A&M's season tickets are for seven home
games and are about $280+/-, depending on whether or not you are in an
armchair section.
A&M's home schedule is:
U.La-La
Va. Tech
La. Tech
Texas Tech
Nebraska
Oklahoma
Missouri

So basically we see an across the board $5 raise in ticket prices. I
like how the AAS tries to play this off as a raise for the sake of
matching the Aggies. From what I can tell, we raised ticket prices
nearly every year for the past few.
Why are they doing it? Not because other schools jack up their
prices, but because the demand for tickets is so freaking high, they
can. I mean, they have around 50,000 season ticket holders. $5 per
game doesn't seem like a lot, but
$5 x 6 games x 50,000 fans = $1,500,000 EXTRA from last year
That can't suck. Now if they would only share some of that money with
The University so I don't have to get a $300 fee per semester for
upkeep.

anything right now. When I compare it to what Cowboys season tickets go for,
I can't complain. Better price and better product on the field. For those
going to road games like my wife and I plan to, you'll pay around $400 each.
I'm curious how much UNL will be?

It could be worse. They could require a PSL or something cheesy along
those lines.
For me, it just isnt a big deal. I am a pretty big fan, but I'd rather
watch on TV with my friends, in AC, with beer, couch and pisser all close
by, than spend $$$ to fight a crowd for half of the luxuries I enjoy at
home or at a bar.

PSL. PSL cost $600-$2500 per seat one time and it guarantees you the right
to buy the seat for the next 30 years. Donation is every year and a $250
donation per seat gets you in the upper deck, and this does not guarantee
you a seat for the same donation in the next year.
As for watching the game at home in Luxury, you sound like my grandfather.
By any chance are you an 87 year old man? Money, time, travel. etc...I will
accept these execuses but the game is not the same at home.

I sit on the 10th row, 30 yard line. No bar or couch comes close :-)

Let me say that I concur with this. Watching a game at a bar is fun
and all, but there is nothing like being in that sea of orange on
Saturday.
BTW - 9th row, North goal line.

Get on campus early, maybe go to the beer garden. Maybe go to the alumni
center. Watch the band come in the stadium.
Whoop it up with 75 or 80 thousand others. Make fun of opponents cheers (my
favorite was Missouri's MIZ-ZOU - or as we said it, MIC-KEY). Cannons when
we score. BEVO in the end-zone. Second string band making the rounds
during the third quarter.
There is only one thing that can compare with gameday in Austin, and that is
gameday in Dallas for Texas-OU weekend.
Of course, I am biased, surely fans of other schools, such as TAMC also
enjoy their gamedays.
As far as NFL, hah. High school is great, but, without the number of fans
and the quality of play, it is just not the same (although Highland Park and
Plano football games come close).

best is to watch Braggies sway side to side after another UT victory against
them.
Away games are pretty fun because you are around the hardcore fans. I will
be interested to see how the UNL trip turns out.
Best experiences= 50 yard line at Texas/OUsucks and aftermath of UT victory
and 30 minute band/fan postgame performance.
Big 12 game this year had a ton of energy granted it turned negative by the
2nd quarter.
Add Bevo handlers dancing to the 4th quarter intermission music and male
cheerleaders Texas spelling during 2nd quarter intermission.
31st row, southwest goaline
