Yep, it’s that time of the year again where anything is news.
Alabama is increasing their season ticket prices by 3 percent -- or $10 -- from the previous season to bring the seven-game total $385. It marks the fifth season in a row that the Crimson Tide have increased season ticket prices by exactly $10.
Coincidentally(?), all five increases have come under the soon-to-be-immortalized Nick Saban.
For an elite program, however, $385 might be considered a steal. According to the Birmingham News, Ohio State charges $490 for seven home games, and Notre Dame’s season ticket package is $420 for six home games. The News also indicates there is a 20,000 person waiting list for the season tickets.
As a personal aside, I can see North Texas get slapped by the Tide -- like I did in ’09 -- for $45.
