How many of the students even understand that a part of their fees is the student activity fee that gets them into the game(s)? They probably think they're getting it for "free" so they don't value it as much as say pulling % out of hat here 70% of the rest of the dome is going hey I paid $60 a seat I'm going to enjoy my game to the bitter end or in TM season ticket donation we're paying $100/seat or whatever it works out to be.
Its tricky. The world is dematerializing, culture is shifting to valuing experiences more than things. I’ve done a complete 180 on people taking pictures of their food. It’s about capturing an experience. But, on the other hand if the ONLY point is to put it on social media and advertise your presence then you aren’t actually engaging with the experience.
I think I’ve said this on here somewhere before; I wouldn’t be opposed to directly charging students a small amount for their seats. People do value what they pay for more highly, even if it’s only a token amount.
Finally, plenty of people who pay for tickets still leave early.

We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow. When you can't retell for yourself the stories of your life then you live in a prison... Somebody else controls the story. - S. Rushdie
