At what price will the price hurt attendance at CIF-SS championship games?
Admission to the CIF-SS championship games will be $2 higher than the three previous playoff games. While the admission prices for playoff games was $10 (up from the regular-season price of $8), that will go up Friday and Saturday.
Furthermore, for those attending the West Valley and Pac-5 divisional title games at Angel Stadium on Saturday, reserved seats will be available for $15. Following the West Valley contest, the stadium will be cleared and a new ticket required for the Pac-5 game.
According to CIF rules, 60 percent of the title game proceeds goes to the CIF before expenses. The teams each get 20 percent.
For some communities, the price increase won’t hurt so much. But I think if you get some schools in the finals that are disadvantaged economically. It probably won’t keep parents from going, but it will hurt students and casual fans, especially when CIF-SS championship games are available to view on the internet.
