Alabama increasing season ticket sales for 2011

Alabama is increasing their season ticket prices by 3 percent — or $10 — from the previous season to bring the seven-game total $385. It marks the fifth season in a row that the Crimson Tide have increased season ticket prices by exactly $10.

Coincidentally(?), all five increases have come under the soon-to-be-immortalized Nick Saban.

For an elite program, however, $385 might be considered a steal. According to the Birmingham News, Ohio State charges $490 for seven home games, and Notre Dame’s season ticket package is $420 for six home games. The News also indicates there is a 20,000 person waiting list for the season tickets.

As a personal aside, I can see North Texas get slapped by the Tide — like I did in ’09 — for $45.
