      This may be the first admission by UK that college tickets are vastly over priced. Once again MB offers a deal to the general public and not to the season ticket holders.

      I know it does not surprise you. I still say any SEC school that raises any tickets should have their AD lose their income for a year. The SEC network dropped $30 million a year into their laps, explain why they have to raise any ticket prices. Other than greed.

      throw in MB is lousy at marketing, he probably took marketing classes under a certain someone.

      Skip, I have to wonder if the drop in ticket sales has been accelerated by brokers no buying blocks of tickets in the same volume as before. It is one thing to speculate on tickets when demand exceeds supply. But when demand begins to soften, brokers backaway quickly.

      It is one thing for ticket sales to fall off. It’s another when the sales drop by 20%+
