[QUOTE="91Wreck, post: 36703, member: 680"] I agree. If you have the money for $40 tickets, you are going to keep them, not step down and take cheap seats. And we are losing money with our current strategy, so what could it hurt to try something new? Maybe the cheaper tickets bring in a whole new group of fans, and maybe not. But the definition of insanity comes to mind when I consider our current marketing strategy. Even though I live in the heart of mutt land, you will find old timers who (much like the mutt fans of today) are fiercely loyal to GT, even though they have never attended a single college class anywhere, much less GT. But these folks are literally dying off and have not been replaced with fans over the last 50 years. To be sure, GT's record over the last five decades probably has more to do with the decline in our fanbase than any other reason. However, in our heyday GT football enjoyed a large sidewalk following - even in rural areas like mine. But it seems as though the decision makers (and many alumni) are more than happy to keep GT football fans as a rather small and somewhat elitist club. I just don't understand how a school that is supposed to produce the best and brightest problem solvers in the state can't figure out ways to properly market GT football. [/QUOTE]
