Cowboys most expensive NFL team for its fans

[jazzcat22]

So if you don't buy a jersey, a hat, and a program every game, you can knock off about $1000 from that total. Honestly they're right, being a Cowboys fan is expensive. Forget about tickets to home games, try buying tickets for an away game. Every place the Cowboys go, ticket prices explode. I paid more to watch the Cowboys play in Baltimore than I did to watch them play in Dallas. The cheapest tickets were $250. Tickets for the rest of their games started at around $100. That's just the way it is for fans of America's Team.

Right, that was my first thought, who buys a jersey and a hat every time.
So these cost are inaccurate to me. Heck, I never bought a program much either.
But where my seats were, they started giving vouchers for season ticket holders to get a free program.

Also I bought a Dr. Pepper that lasted me the entire game, and sometimes something to eat, but that was no more than $10 to $15, but not too often. I usually ate before we left fr the game.
Often they had $5 hot dogs.

The stadium seat costs are not likely to go down. Seat licenses help ensure that will not happen. You have the right and obligation to buy seats for the life of the 30 year seat option.

you can also sell those seat options at a profit if you find a willing buyer. There are websites to do this.
I sold mine. I didn't care to make any profit, as my profit came from not having them anymore...LOL...I was happy to get out at break even.

Also when first getting the seat options when the stadium opened, they guaranteed no price increase for 5 years, but even since then the prices for my section did not go up as of this past season. I sold mine in May. Maybe they go up this year since the future look good.

Unless u walk farther than that you aren't parking for $20 unless you have found a real honey hole. It is probably farther than you think it is.

Yeah I may be off a bit, my memory isn't great but I KNOW its less than a mile and somewhere near 20-35 dollars. I remember this because as expensive as everything else is, parking is one of the few cost I feel like Im getting a good deal on. Anyhow its all one huge expense but I do it once a year so that my kids and I can have those memories. When they grow up and take thier kids and gramps to the games it will all be worth it lol.

Quite honestly the cost of parking at the stadium is far higher than it is stated here for the Cowboys games. It isn't out of the ordinary to pay $150 to park and some games are more than that. I was quoted $250 for the playoff game for Lot 10 parking. Of course that was from a reseller but you can't get parking at the stadium from the Cowboys because it is so limited.

Jerry takes care of his fans ! lol and he will take good care of your money too !
He has a in home vault where he keeps it stacked in neat bundles.
The parking should be at least covered parking, for what they charge.

Anything we can do to ensure the Jones's are taken care of 15 generations deep.

Jerry may not be the best managerial GM in the business but he is a ******* genius when it comes to making money. He has to split ticket prices with the players, but parking isn't split with the players. So Jerry is slanting the game cost toward the parking, and non divisible income streams.

Likely so, but he is a marketing/money making genius.

No wonder it is so expensive to be a fan of the Patriots. They have to go all the way out to North Dakota to see a game per that map. LOL

He is no genius, he just always focused on generating more money anyway he could, in the early days he had to because he had to make
the loan payments and team costs.
He just never stopped, and he always had advisors suggesting things, and he would then say ok lets do that.
Jerry isnt a jed clampett, he is more like drysdale the banker.

A couple of years ago I was looking into season tickets for Jacksonville because I knew the Cowboys were on their schedule and I knew it would be tough to get a ticket, but I may go to a game or two as well.

I looked up and for pretty darn good SEASON tickets, the total cost was something like $600.

Unfortunately, the Cowboys were playing them in London, so I passed.

As a Cowboys season ticket holder(thank you rich relatives), I find myself selling mine less every season.

I recently drove fro Los Angeles to Florida and I was in Dallas for the first and only time in my life. It was the day of the Tampa bay game. There was some guy about 1/2 mile away charging people to park in his yard for $60. I couldnt believe my eyes. It was also 15 degrees that night. I thought about scalping a ticket but between the cost to park, the cold and the lack of knowledge of how much scalping a ticket would cost last second, I just kept driving.

JJ should lower prices... Get more of a blue collar feel at games...

The blue collar element?
...
Maybe we should think this out, bloke ....

So ...

Is this irony, dualism, Tolstoyism, working class economics or a plainspoken folkism?
What is the point of your story?
Is their a second installment?
I hope so.

I assume anyone can buy PSL's directly from the Cowboys. Probably cheaper than getting it from someone else.

I sell 2-3 every year to help pay for the away game I go to each season. They're almost more fun than home games. I pray we play Denver in September next season, because that's where I want to go.
