Stanford to Offer Free Tickets to Students

[Shox21]

Apparently Stanford does not include a ticket charge in their tuition costs. I believe someone on SN has indicated in the past that WSU does have this built-in charge. It certainly would have no bearing on our attendance in the student section since the students have already paid the fee and we still can't fill those seats, although I think the attendance has improved somewhat (or at least I haven't heard the complaints we once heard here).

Unfortunately being a smaller metropolitan school with a large portion of "non-traditional" students makes for a fickle fan base.

Stanford's tuition is also $38,700 a year for undergrad, so . . .

I don't think our student fee is connected to "tickets" but is part of the amount students vowed to contribute to the arena renovations. The get 20 years of free tickets as a "thank you".

The Stanford Foundation pays 100% of the tuition/fees for a student from any family whose annual income is less than $100,000.

Stanford has a few more resources at hand than most. Second table on the page is "Endowment per Student".

Does this mean I get free food from the RSC for 20 years for paying for its renovations? :D

Could be. You might check into it.

Yes, I know.

The school still takes in $38,700 per year per student.
