NFL.com news: Jets, Giants have steepest ticket price increases

Which is why I don't mind going to Charlotte this year to watch the Redskins play the Panthers! Shoot, Panthers and 49ers are practically giving away seats...LOL!

They are currently middle of the pack is my guess, but the problem is, they have been overpriced for about 10 years now. I agree with what you said about the market and demand, and it's exactly why I don't have season tickets or go to many games. The cost doesn't justify the rewards I will get, when I can stay home and get the same for less.

I don't agree with a playoff team doesn't drive prices. A playoff team will in fact increase the demand for a team which will soon affect the prices. It's hard to say that it would for the Redskins because of the stadium being so big. Having a 90,000+ stadium works against you as much as it does for you.

Yeah, right now.

As early as 2006, the Redskins were 2nd on the list of highest ticket prices in the NFL.

NFL team-by-team average ticket prices - NFL - ESPN


That's the whole point. They've been charging premium prices for tickets for teams that were well below the norm in terms of production. It's finally got to the point where they can't raise (or justify) the ticket price raises to the fanbase anymore without them winning first.

A lot of teams shot up with new stadiums. Dallas went insanely high with the Giants and Colts.

Jerry will even charge exorbitant fees for seats which do not exist.

[Jontrem]

$332 for a ticket? I'm sorry thats insane. That's basically making it impossible for alot of fans to ever see a game. Personally I like watching games on my couch more anyway!

A team's success is one price driver, but just one of many.

As early as 2006? That's 5 years ago now.

Well that's the AVERAGE price.

So the Giants and Cowboys must be pricing tickets the same way the Yankees did when the new YS opened...$2500 behind home plate. We know Jerry has some ridiculous suites in his shrine.

But, why anyone would want to pay good money to watch a game in an open-air stadium in NJ is beyond me. You can smell Jersey as you travel the Turnpike (where the Meadowlands is located) and it's not pleasant.

Yes, I've been there too.

Big construction loan to pay off. Be careful what you wish for when you ask for a Fed-Ex replacement.

How can the Giants charge $332.82 and the Jets just (relatively speaking) $96.93 for the exact same seats??

Eli's contract.

Averages tell an incomplete story without the standard deviation. After all, who the **** gives a shit about corporate seats except for the guys rich enough to pay for them?

So, you think I am speculating that the Atlanta Braves have set up this new parking "system"?

Saying something you had not thought of previously is not the same as "speculating"...

[Swarley]

you stated that this would be "Danny Boy's" new revenue stream, did you miss that point of your own post?

[Monkeydad]

Gee whilickers Charlie, any time I see dem news people sayin "Danny Boy", I know for sures that they is serious!

I think you missed something in translation. I don't think you are supposed to be taking this as something that is literally coming to Fed Ex field or a legit money making scheme that Danny boy is actually considering. He's basically taking a pot shot at the king of money grubbing schemes.
