In case you haven't heard, Ole Miss football has apparently reached such highs that they have announced that they will be selling 20,000 tickets for the upcoming Northwestern State game for five dollars per ticket. Yes, five dollars per ticket. Five. $5. Apparently the ticket sales will be open to the general public.
And all of this brings about the question: What all costs more than Ole Miss football tickets?

- Parking at the game itself.
- BBQ nachos at the game.
