Attendance for last weeks 3 day extravaganza at Jerry's World was over 200,000! Not bad for high school football!

Based on the TX pay scale, what would the officials receive if a game was sold out at Jerry World?

[TXMike]

Normal capacity is 80,000 people.  If you could average $7 per ticket that would give you $560,000.  You would get $125 for the gate up to $20,500.  560000 minus 20,500 = 539,500.  You get $20 more per $5,000   That would be about 108 times 20 or 2,160.   Add the 125 and you get 2,285.

That would be a pretty nice pay check.

I suspect most of us would do THAT game for free anyway   

[DallasLJ]

Make sure you add in travel.  However, that is a total attendance for 9 games, not one game.  And each day's attendance is totaled separately when making the splits.

Do not forget that it is only the actual tickets sold at the gate, not total ticket sales.

Right in line with one your your Saturday nights?

I wish my game checks were that high.

  I am not sure that is right.  I think it covers any ticket revenue  including pre-sales.

[TXMike]

It was just a hypothetical that Grant posed, 1 game and  packed stadium.   That is all I was trying to address and in very rough guesstimates.

[TexDoc]

That most definitely is not right.  It includes ALL ticket sales, pre-game and season tickets (obviously no season tickets in this case) and gate sales the day of the game. 

[TexDoc]

Try it this way.  200,000 / 9 games = 22,222. 22,222 x $7 per ticket = $155,555.  $155,555 - $20,500 = $135,055.  $135,055 / $5000 = 27.  27 x $20 = $540.  $540 + $125 = $665.

So, on average, about $665 for each game.  Heck of a lot more than I got for my state championship game.

[TXMike]

And you were still overpaid!!!

  That sounds more like it.  I would love to hear from some of the officials who actually worked the games when the checks start coming in.

If Jerryworld is like Texas Stadium, that will about March....................

[TexDoc]

$1.25 and I'd probably still be overpaid.  These guys might get their checks in June.

[TXMike]

May be later than that.  They will have to include the litigation costs and chop that out of the take before they decide what the true percentage due is.
