The fact that it's at Kroger Field will feel like no one is there, regardless of the ticket prices. That's what made WKU a great venue.

You guys are forgetting where they are playing, you can play the games at a D1 facility for $5 tickets, wont cover the cost.

How much more is the KHSAA paying for this venue vs WKU?

Rough guess probably around 25% or so more.

Holy cow! I take back everything I have said. I didn't realize I could get a free Diet Coke at Suggins! I might go to all 6 games now!!!

The colleges that host the championship games should provide the venue for free and keep the receipts from concessions. I would think it would be to their benefit to get so many potential students and athletes, along with their families, on their campus.

I think $13 for a high school student or younger to attend is just too much. And the $13 is misleading due to the the "convenience" charges by ticketmaster.

 

Exactly, you're going to pay $5.00 fees on each ticket, and I've had several people tell me that they don't want to go thru the hassle of buying tickets online, online sales don't bother me it's the $5.00 fee per ticket is what I have a problem with can anyone tell me why tickets are not being offered at the schools like they always have?

Then buy them at the stadium?

Then buy them at the stadium?

 

 

Question, if you buy them at the stadium will you have to pay to park? I'm like most people when you're buying tickets for 4 or 5 people I want to save every dollar I can and the reason I ask about parking is that my wife is going to drop us off and go shopping while the game is being played.

Yep.

They dont, they cant, lots of cost to put an event like this on.

This is nothing compared to those of us whose kids sports have multiple sessions in the state meet/tournement. It cost me $50 per person plus parking to watch my daughter and her teammates in the state swim/dive meet. I don't think a few bucks will keep anyone away who wants to watch the game.

The way I read it:

 

If you purchase your ticket online and print it off, you can park for free. If you show up with no ticket, even if you already purchased one and chose will call, you will be paying to park.

So in reality, you are paying to park either way.
