I think it simply comes down to what folks want to spend their money on. $1,225 isn't a lot of money for 10 games, if you're paying for yourself. Add in everything else and it's probably a few more hundred dollars. I actually thought it was more. Now if you're talking about taking multiple people then that's another story.
Thats also assuming you don't have any friends to go in on the parking pass. Tickets only went up about $110 for the season so its not that much. I'd bet most of the people bitching never ev en go to the games or own season tickets.

NFL games have always been overpriced. This is no surprise. Been to a couple of games as a guest or a gift and I would never pay to go to a pro game myself.
Pro? Pshh college is expensive too. Well Oklahoma games are anyway.

So what? Every winning team raises their prices. Snyder is a business man, not our friend. You want to see his latest money project RG3 then be ready to $$$ if you don't others will.

You think football tickets are expensive a good hooker is getting over $300 a pop.

A game at Southern Miss will drain you of some coin, too.

Tickets-$75 x 10 = $750
10% Tax= $75
Parking $40 x 10 = $400
----------------------
Total: $1225
That's the grand total for ONE seasons worth of viewing the Redskins at FedEx. Double that if you want to bring a friend. Now, this doesn't even factor in the costs of gas, food, and other game day related items that would incur a cost.
All that for one season's worth of entertainment. Now add in the fact that if you drop 1500 on a TV, you get to use it everyday, all year round. Not only that, the next season, you won't have to drop 1500 again to view your favorite team. Investment wise, this is a no brainer.
Some people are meat eaters others are vegetarians.:cool-smil Personally, for so many reasons, I like watching the games on TV.

True, he is a business man, but I think he's a business man that takes advantage of his customers. I believe if the Cooke family still owned the team we wouldn't see these outragous prices for parking, food, beer bottled water and so on.

The important question is, have they improved the dream seat experience? Because I heard it was H-O-R-R-I-B-L-E. [/sarcasm] :smashfrea

I think the Skins are in the ballpark of price is charged around the league. I doubt that any other owner would charge significantly lower prices. Your statement sounds much more like A grass is greener philosophy than something that you could actually prove.
