The completion of Notre Dame's Campus Crossroads Project will result in a new pricing model for football tickets in '17, with tickets "for the general public sold at eight different points, ranging from $45 to $250,” according to Tyler James of the SOUTH BEND TRIBUNE. Home games are “being slated into three tiers,” with contests with USC and Georgia at the top. The changes “mean a three percent increase in the weighted average price of a Notre Dame football ticket.” Last season’s game against Nevada “came with the lowest-priced ticket of $75 for every publicly sold seat in the stadium,” while tickets for games against Michigan State and Miami “came with a $150 face value.” The Campus Crossroads project, which began in '14, will “bring several changes to Notre Dame Stadium, including new premium seating options, wider bench seats made of steel and vinyl, improved wireless internet and cell phone service, and a large video board above the south end of the stadium.” Notre Dame Associate AD/Ticketing, Premium & Technology Rob Kelly said that the “change in the pricing model was meant to reflect the changes in the stadium and an improved game day experience.” He added that the school will be “making the same amount of money off tickets sold in the 2017 season as it did last year,” but that amount “includes only the bowl seating and not the new club and loge seats,” of which 90% have already been sold. Notre Dame “does not plan to increase ticket prices” in ’18 (SOUTH BEND TRIBUNE, 2/5).
