Programs are getting outrageous/ Should never cost as much as a game ticket

Post by LICKING COUNTY FAN »

I use to buy a program at every game I attended and I notice a lot of other fans, who seem to purchase them
pretty much all the time to.

But now days I have noticed the prices being anywhere from 3 bucks to 7 bucks.
Many of them no longer have both of the teams rosters in them.
I have also notice not many fans are buying them.

What are your thoughts on this?

Right now I just buy the first home game, but next year since my boy will be a Senior I will pick one up at every game Home and Away to keep for him years down the road.

I really don't mind what the cost is, I know it goes back into the school for the kids.

Have you priced the cost of printing lately? Cost has skyrocketed in recent years, and losing money on programs is not an option for programs.

With more fans not buying them, then isn't it a waste of money to print them only for them to go unsold?

Make that as much as 10 bucks.

Huntington home game against Paint Valley ten bucks for the program and 5 bucks I believe was the game ticket.

I'm not sure what you are buying, but the local H.S. has a classy program that includes not only football roster and pics ( team, individual, etc), but also has ALL athletic teams and schedule, photos, etc ( boys & girls). Money goes into putting out an outstanding product. I always buy one.

Programs are nice because the people buy them because its a child, grandchild, or relative on the team. Most schools seem to also have a sheet of paper for rosters of both teams for free or a dollar

Absolutely ridiculous topic.

What's next the cost of gas to drive to a game, or has popcorn went from $1.50 to $2.00, oh the horror.

If we talk about gas prices though just remember according to Raider that is why Athens left the SEOAL ;)
