Team Makers!!!

[imabison]

When purchasing my PO tickets I noticed that the ticket price was $40/ticket, but there is also a $5/ticket facility fee added on. Anyone know where/to whom that extra $50K-$80K goes? I’m assuming it is not part of the net revenue used in calculating NCAA’s portion on the ticket sales?? Lots of extra dollars being generated by the $5/ticket fee.

Note that I am not referring to the $5 “processing fee”.

Event ticketing is as bad as buying an airline ticket. El Chapo gets his cut!!

They had a funky setup on the south end of the east lobby last week where they roped off a little area in the far SW corner of the east lobby and had that open to the concourse so you could get 50/50 tickets even after you went through dome security.

I think they did a similar setup in prior years for people who don't use the main lobby to go through security. I didn't look, but there might have been another roped off area at the other end where you don't have to go through security but are technically outside the stadium where 50/50 tickets can be sold. It's kind of like being on the Canadian side of the Int'l Peace Garden without going through a border crossing.

There is again a special provision this year to deduct donations up to $300 single/$600 married even if you don't itemize. By taking advantage of it, you can either make your TM donation hurt less or increase it for the same net effect on your wallet.

To be honest, I suspect most people that support NDSU through AmazonSmile use the NDSU Foundation as their selected charity.



Just to remind everyone, donating through AmazonSmile doesn't cost you anything, but Amazon doesn't make it super easy.

#1. You must go to smile.amazon.com and choose your charity. You'd think this is all you'd need to do, but you'd be very wrong.

#2. If you use the Amazon app on your phone, you have to go to the bottom left and tap the three horizontal lines, then tap AmazonSmile, then turn on Mobile App donations. You must renew this permission twice a year(they say they will remind you, but I wouldn't count on that).

#3. When you use the Amazon website, you MUST USE the SMILE.AMAZON.COM version of the website in order for the donation to happen. If you use the regular amazon.com address, it doesn't count. That's what gets almost everyone(including me a good 50% of the time).

If you use the mobile app you can set smile.amazon.com as the default. That's what we ended up doing because we order off our tablet/phone 99% of the time.

So, the ticket renewal email doesn’t really break down prices. Did seat prices and or TM fees attached to them go up this year? Looks like I paid about $3800 in TM fees? Can’t tell if actual seat/ticket price went up.??

The invoice mailed out in late February breaks down the prices. Also, the ticket prices and TM fees appear separately when you pay online. Where I sit (low section 17), the TM fees went up $150 per seat and the ticket prices remained the same. The increase in TM fees follows the letter sent out a few years back to those in certain sections.
