So my question would be, what about downgrading? I can only use the Lights as my example as they’re local, I spent $3,200 on my pair of tickets this year in “Pitch Level VIP” which was basically diamond club in baseball but for soccer. I enjoyed the seats and the perks and everything but the price tag for the product did not make sense. I downgraded to midfield seats for $700 for the season for the pair. With those savings I put down deposits for the Vegas Aces WNBA team and UNLV Football(closest thing I can get to affording to see a football game in the new Raiders stadium). I’ll continue to keep my pair of seats to USF football regardless, even though I haven’t attended a game in Tampa since 2009, but it’s my way of supporting university, it’s also about half of your investment.
Everyone should spend their time and money how they choose and hopefully doing so on things they enjoy. If the enjoyment factor does not correspond to the cost, I agree find other alternatives.
