Doc Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 10 hours ago, Mr. WEO said: What the league wants them to charge?? Lol wtf? You went off the rails quicker than usual doc. Oh WEO... Quote This marks the ninth consecutive season that prices were increased. Ticket prices did not increase from 2007 through 2009 and the Packers fell to near the bottom of the NFL in average ticket price. Other NFL teams were not pleased, reasoning that because the Packers sell out every game and have a long waiting list, they should charge more. Visiting teams receive a share of ticket revenue. https://www.greenbaypressgazette.com/story/sports/nfl/packers/2018/03/01/packers-raise-season-ticket-prices-2018/307497002/ You know, I should call the Philly DA, for your sake.

Mr. WEO Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 21 hours ago, Doc said: As part-owners, they would probably be more willing to spend more money on their team rather than see it go into someone else's pockets. And as part-owners, they get a vote in price increases. This was wrong. 15 hours ago, Doc said: The Packers have sold-out every game since 1960 and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future, seeing as how they have 38,000 (season ticket holders) seats sold every game out of 81,000 seats available, and their waiting list is over 130,000. Where they set prices depends largely on what the league wants them to charge, knowing they sell out every game. But as prices rise, people will drop their seasons, only to have others take their places. This is obviously wrong. The "league" (the other owners) would sure love if every team (including the Bills of course) could charge what the Skins/NE, etc, charge. But of course in the real world, the league has no power to set ticket prices in any market. None . 15 minutes ago, Doc said: Oh WEO... https://www.greenbaypressgazette.com/story/sports/nfl/packers/2018/03/01/packers-raise-season-ticket-prices-2018/307497002/ You know, I should call the Philly DA, for your sake. So, to recap--a small market team raises ticket prices to meet the market demand, which is hardly "an anomaly", and none of this is affected by the opportunity for fans to stay home instead. And neither the Packers "community owners" nor "the league" can determine what the Packers charge for a ticket. Maybe you should call the Palm Beach DA instead. I'm sure that guy would be impressed with your rhetorical skills and might offer you a position on his staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually ATL has some of the least expensive concession prices in the league. They just reduced prices by another %10 recently. Not sure about beer, but that hot dog will set you back $1.50. Pretzel bites are $4.50 and some chips and salsa goes for $2.50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Mantis_Toboggan Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 It’s like 3 hours. It’s not THAT long to go without a hotdog or nachos... besides, tailgate, eat well... and who would want to drink a lot at a bills game, you’re likely to catch diphtheria in the bathrooms.

A new stadium = a new target demographic. They need a majorly upgraded experience to sell them, though. I don’t think that happens to the same degree with a renovated NEF. There’s only so much that’s actually possible before the cost approaches new build territory. A climate controlled environment would be a big selling point to a market that currently doesn’t attend games frequently. It just comes down to what the Pegulas decide they want.

I saw a piece on 60 Minutes yesterday - the Warriors are moving the brand new Chase Center in SF next season...the whole thing was built by the 2 billionaire owners w/out a dime of public money. Guess how much for a private suite? $2million per season! Comes with a private butler. https://www.chasecenter.com/suites .
