Cowboys Automatically Billing For Parking

[theebs]

It looks like they want a fortune for that as well.

Well the actual rangers lots yes, but there is a group of small businesses one street to the east of lot 14 and that is where I am hoping to park.

Rangers lots for rangers games are like 15 bucks and those small offices charge 5-7. Its like a 20 second difference in walk time.

And I have already decided that if those lots are 30 plus I am going to have my wife drop me off at lincoln square and pick me up there also. I am not spending 500 bucks on parking. The outrageous price jump in parking from 06 to 08 was one thing, this is another.

Yeah, it's crazy, I'd be paying more for parking than I would be for the rental car.

Almost makes taking a taxi seem like a good idea.

I take it there won't be any public transportation to the stadium? Buses, etc?

I apologize if this has already been mentioned here, but I just wanted to throw out a heads-up for the STHers amongst us.

I got my invoice today and just want everyone to be wary that they threw in the "opportunity" to buy season parking by automatically adding the parking fees to my "Total Amount Due."

I checked out my Account Manager online and there is no option to get rid of the $600 "opportunity" by paying online which kinda pisses me off. So my advice to y'all is to be careful and don't just click the box saying you will pay the total amount without paying extra attention to what you are buying.

Don't get me wrong... if you want to spend $600 on parking then by all means go right ahead. But I'll pass on paying $60 per game, all up front.

Isn't it $750 total, mine is. You have the 2 preseason games also to pay for.
I'll pay it. My area looks to be no more than a few hundreds yards of walking.
Lot 11.

$60 per game TO PARK A FRIGGIN CAR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sweet Mother of God, thats highway robbery. I mean c'mon.

Why not just buy an all day pass at 6 flags and just walk. What a rip off.

$600/8 games = $75.00 a game. Even worse. I'm disgusted.

yeah that is 600/10 as a season ticket holder you have to buy the preseason tickets also. Plus the second week of november all of us are going to get a bill for two more games plus two more games(playoff Tickets) of parking, so at this rate for me that would be 200 for the tickets plus 100 for the games. If you dont buy the tickets and the team ends up in the playoffs, you have forefitted your right to the seats and they will be available to the general public.

and Danny White, Public transportation does not exist in the city of Arlington. Its the biggest city in the country I believe without public transportation.

Yes, I got the invoice in today's mail. The enclosed letter says that as someone "who purchased 100 or 200 corner/endzone level seats, we are providing you the opportunity to purchase one of our club parking lots." So they may not be trying to gouge everyone here - just us lucky ones

The funny thing is - and I swear this is true - my invoice says "LOT 14 $600." And here's a map of where Lot 14 is.

The letter I received came with this map:

The Red Lots are $600, the Blue are $500 and the Green is $400.

The Red Lots are $600, the Blue are $500 and the Green is $400.

Thank you for posting that - I was wondering what the situation was going to look like further out.

I gotta be honest, I don't mind the longer walks. This isn't some baseball game where you leave work on a Wednesday night to go to the game and literally have about 60 minutes before first pitch. People arrive 2-3 hours before the game easy. There's plenty of time to walk to the stadium and there's always good comraderie

I got my invoice today. They left the parking option out for me to decide. I think I am going to go with the $60 dollar lots. I cant wait for the season!! Hey, has anyone heard about the "open house" the Cowboys are suppose to be having for the season ticket holders?

 

[theogt]

Hmm....still haven't received mine.

That's ridiculous to ask fans to pay that much for parking. There's no reason to charge that much to park on a concrete service. I would just take a taxi there and back home, would be cheaper or just have someone drive me close enough to walk and have them pick me up when we were done watching the game. This is why I'm glad to have a big screen HDTV at home so I can watch the game for free.

It's only ridiculous if people don't pay it. But they will pay it, so it's not ridiculous.

For you it might be the same to watch the game at home on your tv. But for me its different to actually be there, get that feeling/smell in the air right before kick-off. Its just a different feeling for me. I guess for the other 79,999 too that will attend the regular season games. LoL.

Everyone who is here *****ing, that paid, has only themselves to blame. Jerry charges it because Jerry knows you'll pay it.

Actually, for all the Big-Name NFL Teams charge that much for parking. It has nothing to do with Jerry Jones. I have someone that works right beside me here at my office & for his Steelers tickets he pays the same too for parking. So I guess Dan Rooney is a money ***** too. LoL. Another Jerry Hater.....
