When I started as a freshman at RPI in 64-65, student tickets were .25
per game.  They went up to .50 at some time when I was there and
perhaps even more.  The season ticket line didn't started until 71-72
if I remember correctly (and waiting for a month didn't start until
after I left).  Previous to that they had a rotation system so that
everybody would, at least in theory, have good seats for some games.
Of course, until most of the poles were removed about 1980 there were
few good seats.
