Getting the right price point for season tickets is very difficult. If you price it too low then people see the product as cheap and not worth it. If you price it too high then people see it as something they just can't afford. I am of the belief that you keep it towards the higher end but give away a bunch of stuff to fans that attend so that they feel like they are getting more value. Stuff like rally towels, Paydirt Pete beanie baby dolls, thundersticks, coffee mugs, window decals. As the crowds come back they can have less give aways but make them higher quality. They can also run concession specials for games they anticipate will not have large crowds. A third thing to do is sell season tickets in different packages. The Saturday Night Special- includes tickets to every Saturday game, CUSA package-tickets to all the conference games. The small packages should be more expensive then full season tickets but less than individual game tickets. This would enable fans that can't afford full season ticket prices to still be able to attend games, get more fans in the seats, and generate income that would have not been there.
Ideas to help UTEP make money.

- Start date
Football will be improved. 6 game wins improved? I am not sure but the O line should be solid because of the veterans who sat out this year due to injuries. As Mortimer said on "Trading Places", "SELL! SELL! SELL!" some season tickets like your life depends on it.
Basketball is going to be like Billy's second year; the hottest ticket in town come this same time next year and back up to 9k avg seating. This has to be one of the best UTEP basketball teams on paper for 19-20 I have seen in years.

Wanna bet that it won’t? You’re already predicting next year will be great when this season isn’t over and a lot can happen between now and then. 9k ain’t happening
9k is definitely possible. I have talked to a lot people who don't have season tickets and they all say they are very excited about what Rodney Terry has done so far and they will definitely be going to UTEP basketball games again.
In the end, Terry and Dimel need to produce. We can have all the hope and expectations we want, and people can say “on paper....” but if they do not improve fans won’t come regardless of the price.
That goes without saying.
One of the possible benefits of a guy like Dimel is maybe he produces, likes it here, and stays. A young gun would bolt.
We’ll see, but in no way way should any Miner fan be counting their chickens before they hatch. Lots can happen between now and then. Worry about this season before next.
So here is an ABQ article talking about how both UNM and NMSU have both held jersey auctions this month, which has resulted in both schools making an estimated net gain of around $10,000 each:

That’s not completely inaccurate. You do have 5 ideas.
Every time I see an old thread being revived, I know it’s Fili’s doing.🤪
$100 straight athletic fee per student per semester. 25000 students = 5 million a year. Small drops in the bucket...
The vast majority of students don't care about athletics. Why would they pay $100 for something they have no interest in?
Yeah I remember. UTEP should just make it mandatory. I doubt they will lose any students. They charge twice as much for parking.
It did. El Paso still has an interest in UTEP Football
I would pay about $9 to even maybe $20 a month to receive old Utep gear. Like every month Utep sends me something . It could be shirt/Jersey anything really.
Or . . . UTEP could be play competitive football.
They had to have made quite a bit. Wasn’t necessarily “garage sale prices”
I'm going off Netflix and Mr.T prices. 🤨🤨👍👍
