For the first time since 2010, bench seat season tickets in the lower deck (100 level) at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium will see a price increase while bench seats in the upper deck (500 level) and at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock will see a decrease as part of the 2016 University of Arkansas football season ticket prices released on Tuesday.
The per game price for standard bench seating at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium has remained flat for the past six seasons while many of the club areas in the stadium have not seen a ticket increase since opening in 2001. Ticket prices in the 500 level of Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium and all general seating at War Memorial Stadium will see a price reduction in 2016. Student ticket prices for both stadiums will not be increased and remain low among institutions that do not charge a mandatory student athletics fee.

everything went up except section 500. why didn't hog heaven drop?

[The_Iceman]

Did the upper deck prices drop?

[Hawgar The Horrible]

In before carpetbagger.

[Dwight_K_Shrute]

Dividing everything by 6 makes it easier to compare TY vs LY on a per game basis.

This will not affect the way the stadium fills one iota.  Uppers will not sell until we start winning 9-10 games a year.  When you can get lowers on ebay for next to nothing why would you invest in uppers?  JMHO but there it is.

[ricepig]

Nice little 41% increase for mine.

Holy crap really?

[hogfan58]

I'm really trying to understand why the East Indoor Club, with the highest price point for club seats and never having an increase, only went up $100-$200.....while the SEZ Outdoor Club, which has had 1 increase, went up $250.

[ricepig]

Holy crap really?

From $100 to $141.

Probably due to demand.  More fans like the outdoor vs the indoor.

Did SEZ Outdoor start at $75, I can't remember. I was East Outdoor and switched in 2006, I think, lol.

[idochog]

East Outdoor club seats are the same price too.

[hogfan58]

Yes

[WooPig90]

It was just a matter of time, it doesnt seem too bad though.

[Hawgndaaz]

looks about right to me.

gotta pay the cost to be the boss.

[HogimusMaximus]

I am not renewing at these prices.  Get them off hogville for less.

[jkstock04]

So basically the seats in higher demand go up in price. Nice strategy. Everyone in the lower level sees a 20% hike. That's....quite a jump.

I suppose this is a way to sell more in the upper deck due to lower costs...while not incurring any losses, probably increasing gains. Kind of a take from the rich give to the poor type of deal...very democratic lol.

One thing about it...nobody is holding a gun to my head I don't guess. One positive I see here at least he let us know well in advance so it's not a surprise for when writing the check.

[RazorbackRon]

Nice little 41% increase for mine.

My Red Zone tickets went up 16.7%.   I can live with that.   No price increase for several years.

They lowered the prices for WMS and I still don't think I'll renew (1st time in 29 years).

Edit:  The only tickets that went down in RRS are the 500 level seats.

[razoredge178]

Savvy move on Longs part...increase ticket prices where the demand is highest, and lower the prices upstairs for the bargain shoppers. The net result of it all being those of us who pay good money to sit in the club will pay even better money to sit in the same seat, subsidizing the cheap, and often empty, seats..

[RazorNoles]

My wife is already telling me that the UofA can keep our 2 South Outdoor Club tickets and I can go get 1 (by myself) in the upper deck. Good times.......

Exactly.  Though I'm sure some will find something to gripe about.

Good, I'm needing to add two more. Well, I mean sorry if you wanted to keep them.

41% increase here as well. That's two BIG increases between the BP and BB eras. I don't mind a little increase, but getting hit with significant raises twice and still having to drink Pepsi products is where I draw the line.

[Wildhog]

Go to Liberty Bowl, raise ticket prices.

Woof.

You and I seldom agree on anything, but I concur on the Pepsi products.

[Tim Harris]

Luckily I'm in one of the areas that stayed the same.

Maybe they can afford coke now.

[ricepig]

Maybe they can afford coke now.

Got to pay for that expansion some how.

[Jackrabbit Hog]

Looks like a 20% increase for us.  Of course, I'm a product of a rural public school so my math is a little fuzzy.

Does Pepsi even make a product that is drinkable?
Anywhere I see the Pepsi sign - I just get bottled water.

[1HourToHogville]

About what I expected for an increase.  Maybe I can pick up a couple of seats next to me now.

Yeah, but then it's Aquafina.

My 3 in 118 went up 15 a game......I can't afford yours lol.

Go to Liberty Bowl, raise ticket prices.

Woof.

This....try filling it before you raise the lowers.  Fact of the matter is Answer the Call was a flop....now tax the rich.

[AirWarren]

Makes staying home and watching easier and easier.

Have you EVER had season tickets?  Serious question.

[factchecker]

Off topic ... kinda:

I currently sit in the lower bowl.  I love it but often wonder what the chair-backs in hog heaven are like. 

Is it too far up for a good view? 

Are you allowed to stand up and cheer?  I currently sit in a rowdy section and it's awesome.

I wish the foundation would have a day in which current and/or prospective season ticket holders could tour all of the seat locations to get a feel of where we want to sit.  I know priority points and money play a role in your seat choices but I still would like to know what I'm picking from.

Since the south end zone opened.....how bout you....serious question?  Pleazzzee lol

[RazorbackRon]

South end zone (sec 124) since it opened as well.  Season ticket holder at both stadiums since 89.

Are you the obnoxious, angry guy who sits in front of me?

[Rey Pygsterio]

I told you when they announced the expansion but everyone wanted to say I was wrong.
