Many UT alum build $3000/season into their regular expenses. It’s a totally manageable expense for lots of professionals, especially after their careers have progressed. It’s hard to overstate how popular football is at the University of Texas, and it’s also a top-tier research university with hundreds of thousands of graduates who are doing really well for themselves
I agree, and why I was saying that plenty of people are willingly paying thousands of dollars per year for live events, whether sports, concerts, theatre, standup comedy, etc.
The specific events might be more or less likely to attract a ton of secondary ticket buyers at very high prices, but for something like this, where the season ticket waitlist is years long, there are plenty of people willingly buying tickets to the less competitive games to get a chance at a face value ticket to these types of top 5 matchups.
