So - i've given some glance to YA seat information for next year, and was hoping someone here could offer some clarity.
Last year, total cost per seat, including $50 donation, was $320 ($20 per game, all in)
This year, the donation has gone up to $100, and my brief read of the information sent out indicates the ticket price is $24 per game - my question is:
Is the $24 total per game inclusive of the donation? If so, it represents a reasonable 20% hike in total cost...
If not, and the $100 is added to the $24 per game, total cost per seat, assuming 16 home games again this year, becomes a whopping $484 - a 51% increase.
Hope someone can help clarify without wasting Steve Alleva's time on the phone...

Pretty sure it's a $50 donation plus $24 a game.

I don't know anything about the actual charges, but looking at your numbers the 51% increase you cited is off the mark. Tickets went from $20 to $24? 16 games? 16 x 4 = 64 Donation went from $50 to $100? An increase of $50. So, adding the $50 and the $64 we get $114, out of your total cost of $484. $484 less $114 = $370 An increase of $114 added on to $370 is about 30%. |

For all HHC seats, the donation is separate from the cost of the seats.

The $20 per game figure was inclusive of the donation: $320 vs $484. |

If you are still a Young Alum (that would now be graduating classes of 2004 and later) and sitting in the 100 level, your donation is $50. The per-game ticket price did go from $18 to $24.
The extra $6/game, if the # of home games is 15 this year as well, would be +$90...a total increase from $320 to $410, or 28 percent.

OK - so I got the donation wrong - thanks guys.
28% is OK as far as i'm concerned. Wonder how that percentage compares with normal alum hike?

Who cares? The school needs to raise money and it's a great deal. Just pay it.

1) I was attempting to clarify. Don't be a Edited.
2) Your average young alum is not necessarily armed with unlimited funds, especially if you have 3 or 4 seats - it's a significant increase.
3) All of said young alums are fresh from having their identities compromised by the school. Goodwill isn't the highest, to be honest.

if you get your second GU degree, does the 5-year young alumni clock restart?
