University of Michigan students had enough on their minds with final exams, but then they heard that student ticket prices for football games are going up and seating is changing from reserved to general admission, Kyle Austin reports on annarbor.com.
Many Michigan students are outraged by the new ticket policies unveiled this week. The price for 2013 season tickets is going up to $280 for seven games. Each game will now cost $40, up from $32.50 last year.
The bigger issue appears to be the change in seating. Students are currently assigned a specific seat, and those who have held student tickets longer are assigned seats lower in the stadium. Next year, seating will be on a first-come, first-serve basis.
