CHARGING FOR FOOTBALL GAMES.

[hardball23]

Does all school charge the students the same price as the aldults?

[Gville80]

Depends on how desperate a program is for money. I don't know too many schools in Sumner County who can support themselves without charging everyone equally.

[XtremeLoco]

Every game i've been to, everyone was charged the same. No matter the age, no matter if they were a student or not.

Believe me.......in Cheatham County they charge the students to attend the in school volleyball and wrestling matches. If there's a dollar to be made, they make it. We're thinking of having pickle jars for donations at all the local businesses.

Knox Catholic doesn't charge their kids for anything, but then again, those kids pay a huge tuition, so I guess athletic events are covered.

Some schools offer there students free attendance to games, others offer a season pass to all sports for a small price, and then other charge and arm and a leg. Like was said before just depends on the needs of the program.

I don't know if they still do but several years ago when I was in school you could by tickets at school during the day on Friday at a discount I think $3.00 instead if the $5.00 at the gate?

That is how it is done at Cookeville. If you have a valid school id then you can buy a discounted ticket on Friday at school.

I want to know if there are any schools that charge a "student activity fee" at the first of the school year. Let`s say that a 1,000 student school charges all students 20 bucks for the student activity fee. They get a card which would then get them into any game of any sport. That would be 20,000 dollars for the school. Plus students would be more likely to attend games.

 

I`m not sure if this is even legal at a public school. I know when I was at MTSU all students had to get a student activity card

I think TSSAA needs to up the price to $10 or even $15 dollars for adults, $7 for students and let kids under 14 in free. They need to remove the cap you can charge as a maximum. Some markets will bear more than others. Williamson Countians will probably pay more than a more rural county and if other sports programs can benefit from it why not?

 

If a family of 5 goes to the movies on a Friday night its $7.50 per ticket and then a minimum of another $6 for popcorn and drink. I think the entertainment value is much higher for football.

 

I was sitting behind home plate at the Braves game tonight with 3 clients and it cost me a lot more than $7.50!!! They would have been more entertained at a Brentwood v. Franklin Game! Smoltz choked in the ninth and gave up a two run lead with 5 runs on six hits!
