Oklahoma fans who want to get up close with the football team after games can now pay hundreds of dollars for the privilege. The university’s new ‘Sooner Magic Moments’ campaign offers postgame media access, letting fans sit in on press conferences with coach Brent Venables and players.
Packages for only the first three home games are listed with prices ranging from $461 for the opener against Illinois State to $692 for the nonconference showdown against Michigan. Each ticket covers two people.
“Get exclusive postgame media access for you and one guest and see where real-time reactions unfold,” the description reads. “Hear OU coaches and players address reporters moments after the final whistle. Watch the story take shape through the questions, the insights, and the atmosphere that set the headlines. Must be 18 or older.”
The price tag is especially shocking since the press conferences are streamed live for free, and attendees won’t be allowed to ask questions — essentially paying to watch reporters do their job. For some, being a few feet away from Venables and the players is worth the nearly $700 cost, but for many, it might feel like an overpriced novelty, more about bragging rights than actual access.
