Hammered a Lot Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 (edited) So far Pats, Lions, Titans no increase. Ravens no increase and will pay INTEREST on down payment for 2011 season tickets if there is no football. Bucs, Chargers decreased some seats. Saints screw lower bowl fans (between the 35 yardlines)with big increase. Edited January 21, 2011 by Hammered a Lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordio Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 My guess is they will leave the prices the same because we got the 2 preseason games this year & will whack us next year with the increase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they move to an 18 game schedule and drop 2 preseason games. Which could mean no preseason games in 2012! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zonabb Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Don't insult us with a price decrease. Put a good product in the field and the games sell out, it's that simple. Decreasing prices would indicate they don't get it and are blaming the economy and the region for poor attendance when the attendance is a factor of the product. The last thing we need with an uncertain future given the frail condition of the owners is to unnecessarily provide a new owner more leverage to move the team. A smart business person keeps ticket prices the same. It keeps the fans happy. And from a business standpoint, it doesn't have harm to the value of the team. A reduction in prices would let a new owner say "hey, you can't sell out and dropped ticket prices so I think this region sucks and I'll offer less than the team is worth." Any reduction in ticket prices most certainly costs RW's family on the sale price. I have argued on this board to increase the prices. Look at the Sabres as the only model you need. The key assumption is the team has to be competitive. So long as that's the case, people will pay whatever it costs to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell this to Jets fans who refused to buy every seat with a PSL, or to Cowboys fans, or to Yankees fans. Some owners have gotten too greedy. Bills tickets are reasonable in comparison to the Redskins or Cowboys, but the purpose of going to a game is to enjoy watching men play a gamefor a price that won't send you to the poor house. The Redskins don't have blue collar fans anymore because Snyder priced them out, and give it time where his greed will lead to a string of non-sellouts.

NoSaint Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Saints were no increase minus new club sections. Fans will have a chance to move with new seats added. Superbowl renovations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
