Season tickets for the general public are roughly $160. Yost was routinely filled to capacity of 7200 this year with increased season ticket sales to both students and general public accounting for approx. 70% of the total. As for hockey as compared to other sports, single game basketball tickets are $12-15 and in spite of the fact that Michigan was in the Top 25 in basketball for part of the year, several games were not a sell-out - capacity at Crisler is 13,500. On the other hand, football is king - single game tickets are $30 however the entire stadium, capacity 106,000 is sold out on a season basis and has been for 25 years.
