JoeB Posted December 1, 2017 Group: Member Topic Count: 963 Content Count: 9,765 Reputation: 596 Days Won: 9 Joined: 08/05/2005 Share Posted December 1, 2017 (edited) I was doing some research last night and here is what I found out for pricing on bowl game tickets: Independence Bowl- $30 for endzones/ $45 is for Sideline Bench seating/ $50 is for Sideline Chairback seating. I believe the $50 tickets aren't available to general public though. Looks to be for Bowl personnel and VIPs. Military Bowl- A few different pricing options. $25 gets you standing room in the endzone (berm possibly)/ $60 is another endzone with seating/ $70 I believe is Upper Deck/ and $80 is lower level Sideline. Liberty Bowl- Built like the Old Sombrero. $65 for endzones/ $75 for corners/ $85 for Sidelines. Gasparilla Bowl- $40 Upper Deck/ $60 Level 2/ $65 for Upper Level 1 Corners and all Lower Level 1 Endzones/ $80 Lower and Upper Level 1 Sideline (1st Base side only)/ Also there is a $150 ticket in Crows Nest that is Sideline location and they are free food and drinks These bowl game tickets seem to go up in price every season. Really surprised at how much the Gasparilla Bowl tickets cost, considering the local audience and attendance issues. Independence Bowl is definitely the lowest price and most affordable.

Thats the only reason I can think of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of them are owned by ESPN. they just need the inventory for TV. Exactly, gate revenue is icing on the cake. Except for the CFP/NY6, they don't care who shows up in person. Why else would ESPN put a bowl game in a 20,000 seat soccer stadium in a Dallas suburb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boca Raton Bowl- $32 for Endzones/ $57 for Sidelines Birmingham Bowl- $30 for Corners and Endzones/ $50 for Sidelines Both of these bowls are definitely in the more affordable category, but thats not a surprise considering the destination.

For the bowl game in St. Pete you will also need to spend another $50 to overcome the ****** site lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder how that works if we get selected for one? I guess just after the fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
