Re: UAA `16-17 Let's end this thing with a BANG
A very large part of the problem is Ticketmaster. We get crumbs from those high prices. The way I understand it Ticketmaster has a contract with the contractor that runs Sullivan Arena (SMG or whatever their initials are) so they get a LARGE cut of the money no matter where the ticket is sold. Go to the Alaska Airlines Center and purchase your ticket? Ticketmaster and SMG still take the lions share.
Buy a $10 ticket at the Sully door and I believe UAA gets $4.
This travesty is simply adding insult to the unrealistic amount of money we pay to rent the Sully.
Perhaps our Mayor or illustrious city council can get a more realistic rental figure for the Sully. Might be a stretch with the cuts proposed in next years Mayors' budget plan.
I hope anyone on here who has better knowledge of the money deal will add to or correct my post.
It's a great day to be a Seawolf!
