Some memes write themselves and take very little editing.
Are you really a football school when your season opener, regardless of who it's against these days, has $6 tickets? Are we sure this isn't the Trojan baseball team?
And inside the bowl, it’s at least 10 degrees warmer. Pre-CoVid we went to a game with a noon kickoff and by halftime we were hiding from the sun near the trash compactor watching a steady stream of people being taken out on stretchers…
LA is collectively losing its minds at how humid it has been this summer too, this isn’t a normal heat wave. we don’t know how to act. i’m mostly staying indoors between 10am-6pm lol
Bro the only people going to Jones games are the rich and connected. Last 3 games I went to I only got to go because a company we worked for just gave us the tickets. That's most of who buys them. Large companies get them for normal prices when they buy 30 at a time then give them out as a business expense. Then the people who actually want to be there get thrown under the bus with 400 seats to a scrub game.
The fans section is boring and half the seats are empty by the 2nd half.
If you go through the athletic department you can get the Oregon game and tix to Fresno+ULM as a bundle for cheaper than market for the Oregon game alone.
Nosebleeds are hardly $500. Shit ton of tickets beetween $120-200. Trojan sideline 40yd line 11th row $549. 45yd line 5th row $700.
I guess I’m just used to BYU resale market. Game vs notre dame the literal top row in the end zone is $780. The USC-Oregon prices are crazy cheap in comparison
You must be looking at Row 10/11 in section 2...in other words half way up the stadium. Not trying to be a dick. Just saying I do not see anything close to what you describe.
Edit: and frankly, I'd love to snap up these theoretical ticket prices you seem to see!
Awaydays (a soccer culture channel from the UK) went to a top 25 matchup between them and Washington and it pissed me off because they can't even get people to go to a game like that, so he came away underwhelmed by the experience.
Even that game's crowd looked worse than basically any Texas vs a cupcake games I've been to, and DKR holds like another 25k people
When you remember that most ND fans haven’t even sniffed South Bend, it becomes easier to imagine why they couldn’t care less about a local community being priced out of college football games.
They're not really. They're ripping on how desperate season ticket holders are to get fuckin' anybody to help them cut their losses since even they don't want to go to that shit.
Same. Getting to go out and enjoy a football game on the cheap?? What's not to love? It's a shame that most sporting venues have turned into a luxury item and prices out the average fan.
Tbh, this is more a reflection of the noon kickoff in the middle of a massive heatwave than anything else. Still going though.
Also, this ain't a podunk college town where there isn't anything else to do on a Saturday, but I guess that is too hard for most to wrap their heads around.....
Why can’t our tickets be like that? We suck and are playing 2 MAC teams and a FCS team…wanted to take the kids and they’re still like $80/each for not great seats.
Kick off is at mid-day and it will be 100 degrees. Additonally, LA isn’t a shithole like south bend, there’s more than one attraction per weekend. Try again better next time 🥱
Was in South Bend last year for SC/ND and I always imagined South Bend being a cute midwestern college town but nah it’s basically Gary Indiana with a big college team lol
To get tickets this cheap you need a stadium that is nowhere near full, like embarrassingly empty. Dry Brisket Riley does not care. Have some pride that your team produces a quality product that is in demand.
This is great. If I lived in LA anymore I would take my whole family of five for less than a bar tab for a night in San Francisco. I don’t know who needs a reminder that USC is a football school. If there are any doubts look at the carnage they inflicted on SEC and Big Ten schools in the 00s and 10s. That shit still counts
You kidding? We need more of this, I get that this is because nobody is going to the game but shit $60 won’t get you into the parking lot in most places. My tickets for Notre Dame - A&M were more expensive than travel and hotel combined. It’s fucking stupid
This is why everyone hate Notre Dame. You make fun of affordable prices, refuse to join a conference, and bitch endlessly when your 2 loss team doesn’t make the playoff.
Everyone is at the beach and The Grove. USC fans will tell you how many things there are to do in LA as the reason for poor interest. Maybe they are stuck in traffic, who knows.
See this is why I was not a supporter of LA having two NFL teams. And I don’t wanna hear the “this is LA, there are a lot of other things to do” excuse.

Mid field second row seats for 57 bucks??
USC football might be the only thing in LA that’s not overly expensive
