Just got my ticket application yesterday, and looking at the away game
prices, it's astounding. On average, there is a 19-20 dollar/seat
premium to go to the ND game as opposed to the rest of the opponents'
home slate.

That's like... 7 million dollars in markee valyoo over the season (20
bucks x 5 games x~70,000 seats(my guess at the average stadium size))

I'll probably put in for a pair for Sparty anyway... even if them
bastards are charging 70 a head.

Bastards.

At least one year, the only way you could get a ticket to KU v. NU in
Lawrence was to buy a season ticket. U$C is doing that to us this
year. Take it as a compliment. They know ND and UNL fans travel well
and will pay it.
