2014 – New, higher ticket prices are coming for Gryphon home games. I have no problem with the price increases which have been occurring each season since I wrote the It’s time to raise ticket prices! editorial below. The Department of Athletics needs the revenue and the football program has more potential for revenue growth than all of the varsity teams combined. But the other side of that equation is the Department needs to invest money into football and effort into marketing it.

Update: Nov 7, 2011
It was nice to see that the Department of Athletics did in fact raise ticket prices in 2011. They actually went beyond what I was suggesting and I credit them for that. It was also very encouraging that a record 9,500 tickets were sold for the Homecoming Game. Up from 8,800 in 2010. With the additional tickets sold and each one of them costing an extra $5, that’s an additional $54,000 in revenue from just one game.

It’s time to raise ticket prices! (Jan 25, 2011)
An adult ticket to a Gryphon football game is a bargain at $10. In the OUA in 2010 only a ticket to a York U game was cheaper -$8. A season ticket was an even greater bargain – four games for $30, thats just $7.50 per game.
This past season my Laurier ticket was $16, in Ottawa I paid $12 and at Western in 2009 I forked out $20. McMaster tickets ranged from $15 to $25 and Queen’s tickets $12.50 to $15.50. A ticket to a Guelph Storm OHL hockey game will set you back $20.50.
Consider Homecoming Games. They seem to sellout every year. This season the game was soldout three days in advance. I know people who were searching for extra tickets. They would have gladly paid $20 or $25. I know I would have done so – six members of my family had to cancel plans to travel to Guelph for the game.
My own informal survey of tells me there is little negative feedback from a $12 or $15 ticket price but some people were resisting at the $20 level. Thus, my recommendation is:
Adult tickets: $15 for Homecoming and playoff games, $12 for other regular season games, or a $45 season ticket package
Seniors tickets: $15 for Homecoming and playoff games, $10 for other regular season games, or a $39 season ticket package
Students (with UofG ID) and Youth (7-17 yrs of age): keep them cheap, $5 or $6 is fine
Children 6 & under: free
Keep in mind that food and beverage concessions at Alumni Stadium are as cheap as you can find anywhere. Prices at Mac’s Ron Joyce Stadium are double ours. At a Mac game you cannot park anywhere without paying at least $5. Parking is an expense at several other OUA venues while there is no shortage of free parking at Guelph.
Overall Guelph football games would continue to be an economical outing for a family. Yet, by my best estimates this proposal would generate $43,000 in much needed revenue for our football program.
If nothing else, at least raise the price of a Homecoming ticket. If 6,300 of the 8,800 attendees paid $15 for an adult ticket we would take in an additional $31,500. Can we afford not to do that?

My wife & I agree, that Guelph should raise their ticket prices to be more in line with the rest of the country. This is extremely important as a fund-raisng tool especially in the case of a school like Guelph which I am learning has excellent attendence to all their home games. I know having travelled to all my older son Tyler’s game last year across the QUFL that the prices being charged by both Guelph and Concordia were by far the lowest in comparison to almost everyone of its’ competitors. We paid $16 for standing room seating at Laval and they are putting close to 15000 fans in the stands most games with over 5000 seats selling for $30 each in their preferred seating section. The only tickets we felt should remain as affordable as possible should be the Seniors, students, and youth who attend games. The other area where the Q is killing the OUA in revenue generating is through their sale of beer at all their games, but that is I guess a contentious issue with the drinking age being 19 in Ontario and only 18 in Quebec.
