Seat Prices for Old Highmark Tear Down

[Riverboat Ritchie]

600 bucks for two bleacher seats is shameless.  I get it that it is a business, but this level of greed is getting obnoxious.  

[MattM]

Just got the email--they priced it right where I thought they would. About $600 for my pair of seats.

 

Now I just need to find a spot in the house for them.....

How else are we gonna pay for Christian Kirk WR1 next year?

I think a cool thing would be to gift them to long time season ticket holders. Let them keep their seats so to speak.

 

Just wait til they rip it down and sell off golf ball size pieces of rubble for $350 each

Here are my thoughts on the topic from last month:

 

I’m not denying there’s a market for them. I’d probably talk myself into getting mine. Lol, it’s more “why?”
 

I can see a sports bar wanting to display them. I was at Tully’s the other day and I’m 90% sure they have old stadium seats in there somewhere. Maybe Bennigan’s will pull down some upside down unicycles and replace them with conjoined plastic chairs?

 

It’s the personal ownership that I’m struggling with. I’ll probably get excited and waste money on mine. I’ll bring it home and put it in the garage until I “find a better place for it.” It’ll sit there for about 3 months before I start getting questions about “what do you plan to do with that?” After another 3 months I’ll start getting asked, “why don’t you put that in your office or to the curb?” Obviously, I’m not going to put it in my office because my office is nice and throwing a couple of random plastic chairs in the corner does nothing to elevate the aesthetic. Another 3 months will go by and the pressure mounts to get them out of the garage. After 3 more months, the walls have caved in and something will have to give. I’ll give them both to my developmentally disabled cousin who will think that they’re amazing. After 2 months my aunt will be all over him to get rid of them because they don’t go in his apartment. 3 days will pass and he will sell them on Facebook marketplace for $32 a piece. I’ll have to drive over to his house, load them in the car, and drive to a Wegman’s parking lot to meet the buyer so that my cousin can collect $64. He will put that $64 towards Madden ‘28.

How does a non-season ticket holder purchase a seat?

I never sit in mine at the stadium

Peeps will bite, get that gwop. Everyday the P's are hustlin, ya dig?

[Kirby Jackson]

Do I get the cupholder on the back of my seat or the one on the back of the people in front of me? 

[BillsPride12]

I would have been willing to pay up to $200 for mine(which is still ridiculous)

 

$600? NFW

Will there be a discount for my seat, which never had a cup holder on either side?

Me and my buddy looking at the broken cup holders in front of us the last 3 years:

"Well we know they're never fixing these things now"

[BuffaloBaumer]

$500 for 1 seat is an absolute joke for something that would be going to the junkyard anyway.

[The Wiz]

Getting that PSL money from the stadium they are tearing down, classic.

I was at the final game at Texas Stadium years ago. People were ripping out cup holders

I heard that the seats with broken cup holders are now $586

The pricing is right about where I thought it would be. They could have made them $1k if they wanted to. The pricing was irrelevant. It’s a terrible purchase if they were $10. They are a bulky decoration. No one is buying them to sit in. The people willing to pay $650 would have paid $1k+. If you, “have to have them” you’re going to buy them regardless. There’s no number where it’s a “good buy.” It’s a sentimental decoration.

Maybe anchor them to the wall at shelf height and have them serve as a sort of table or wall bar?

I don't even think they have cup holders at the new stadium.  State of the art.
