Can someone tell me the benefit of season tickets? (lemmy.world)

I've been considering (Razorback) season tickets, but from what I can tell all it gets you is a price hike, "donation" requirements, parking access, and the seats that don't move.

To be clear, their website advertises season tickets are about $250 per game for upper level and $450 for lower level. But lower level, 50 yard-line tickets are $250 for the best games and under $100 for the cheap games. And that's not even taking into consideration the donation requirements. Am I missing something?

$250 per game, not including the donation, cannot be the right number. That is outrageous.

My tickets are $395 each for the whole season and my Gamecock Club donation was $760, but I could have gotten away with a donation of $175 if I only wanted 2 seats.

$395 x 6 seats + $760 donation = $3,130

$3,130 / (6 seats x 7 games) = $74.52 per ticket per game.

The Gamecock Club donation also covers the 2 basketball season tickets I have, so technically the cost of donation could be spread across those as well

Wow, okay. I was thinking about this all wrong. When they said "each" I thought it meant per game. It really is for the season. You add in the donation cost (which you are kind of locked into forever), which adds to the price. But that cost is also spread out across however many season tickets you're buying.

The biggest problem is that if you ever drop the season tickets, you have to keep paying membership fees if you ever want season tickets again. (From my understanding.)

Edit: Actually I've been looking into the last part. I think the required membership fees are only $50 yearly. There's a stipulation for maintaining the same donation amount, but that's only for keeping your seats in the same spot.
