Pricing the average fan out of the game experience. I find it even more disgusting that the lower priced seats have gotten the bigger increase. Both in actual dollars, & percentage of increase. $30 is a bigger deal to someone in the "cheap seats", than $20 is to someone in club seats.End zone seats that were $140 per game in 2021 are increasing to $170 in 2022. Per Hill, one season-ticket holder who paid $2,700 for two tickets in 2021 has received an invoice for $3,250 for the same two seats in 2022. Club tickets are going up from $410 to $430 and some lower-level ticket seats from $160 to $190

Throw in parking, & concessions, you couldn't take a spouse & two kids to a game for less than $1,000. That's if your local, & aren't travelling to the game. If travelling from out of the area, & require lodging.... well, you'd be hard pressed to to make the weekend for $1,500 with just a spouse, or single kid. Of course, that's not even considering the good seats.
I've been to a number of games personally over the years. However, I've most likely gone to my last. Which is a shame. I'd rather watch the game at home, than spend that kind of cash to be uncomfortable, & not have a very good view of the game. Unless you are wealthy, or going to games is the only significant hobby/experience you covet, it's just not realistic, or practical anymore. At least for a lot of fans.
For reference, the face value of the 1982 NFC Championship game I went to was $17. That was for a front row ticket (section 108 RFK Stadium), about the 45 yard line.
Maybe we can have her run free agency in the future...Maybe he has another love child to pay off?

Home costs are crazyI’m right there with you, brother. Housing prices in austin, where I live, are beyond ridiculous

Ticket prices for me up by 18.75% from last year. I hope to see some value for that increase, but won't be holding my breath. May trade those seats and all those travel expenses for a new boat.
$160 - $190/ticket. It's pretty simple math. I can help you if you like.I really don’t know what you are talking about. Mine went up $20 a ticket and parking stayed the same. $20 on my tickets is like 4.75%. So the math is off somewhere buddy. And you gotta realize that if you are taking off the total, we have 9 home games instead of the regular 8….
Well, that sucks for you. Mine went up $20 in Club level. From $410 to $430.$160 - $190/ticket. It's pretty simple math. I can help you if you like.
Congrats for being spared a big hit. You already pay crazy money for tix.Well, that sucks for you. Mine went up $20 in Club level. From $410 to $430.
Couldn't do any worseMaybe we can have her run free agency in the future...
For a private entrance, dedicated bathrooms, and dedicated bar and food plus $75 for parking in lot 10. I think it ain’t too shabby at all.Congrats for being spared a big hit. You already pay crazy money for tix.
