Cowboys resale tickets prices raise as Cowboys win

[Bleu Star]

I means its business though. We have the right to complain as customers but if i'm running a business.....why would I decline the prices when its in so much demand? Not only that but we also know in America the more expensive a item is, the more we run and purchase it. Even if Jerry had increases pricing...i'd understand. I wouldn't like it and he MAY take a hit in the stands from fellow Cowboy fans but if you're winning at home even with no home field advantage? Do you really care about Home Field Advantage at this point if you're Jerry?

Home field advantage is paramount. Imo.

 

[Bleu Star]

Yeah right. The fact that the reSale prices increased after the last win is evidence against this. The price is what it is. Law of supply and demand.

Ticket agencies tried to sell stones tickets for as much as 10 ,000 a piece for VIP seating.

The stones tried to do something about it by not releasing the tickets till real late to prevent resale and by requiring id to match the name on the online purchaser.

But I bet folks still worked it out.

This happens at the superbowl every year. You can buy tickets weeks ahead of time but you have to meet the reseller in the city of the Super Bowl the day before to get them.

Resellers suck.

Perhaps that should have been my thread title.

I live in Houston and paid $250 a piece for two tickets (Houston vs Dallas) that were not that great. Add in another $80 for parking pass, plus beer in the stadium. 10 times 8 dollars for Miller Lite. Hotel was $150 per night (two nights) plus all the little stuff. Great game, would do it again but it was expensive to say the least.

Do you recall what the actual face value was on those tickets?

$8 for a cup of Miller lite is another travesty. No reseller involved there.

$80 parking pass..... Our parking pass fee is more than tickets for seats at plenty of other NFL venues.

One would think that out of the goodness of his heart and to ensure rabid fans pack AT&T Stadium Jerry would give us a break on ticket prices. Jerry finds that notion amusing....


Winning has led to spike in Cowboys ticket prices

What does a 5-1 start for Dallas mean other than renewed playoff hopes for the faithful?

More demand for Dallas tickets. Whether the fans showing up to AT&T Stadium are pulling for theCowboys or their opponents, it's adding up to a higher ticket prices for those going to games.

According to www.tiqiq.com, which is a resale ticket market aggregator, the Cowboys ticket prices are at their highest average since the site starting tracking ticket prices in 2010. The current home ticket average for a game is $283.22, which is up more than eight percent since the season started.

That's also up nearly $20 a ticket since this time last year, when the average Cowboys ticket price was $264.06.

That's what they get for scalping their tickets. Somebody always pays in the end.

Romo complained about half of our stadium being filled by Texan fans. Why is that? The same applies at virtually every home game. 30 to 50 perfect opposing fans. I would love to see an analyst's comparison of the average percentage of home team fans that attend games across the league for all of the teams. I bet ours is on the lower end in comparison.

There was actually a really interesting conversation regarding this on the radio yesterday. AT&T Stadium was referenced specifically but this problem is not exclusive to Dallas in any way shape or form. Didi you hear the "defense" chants at the end of the game this past weekend in Seattle? There was an estimated 15-20 thousand Dallas fans at that game. It's a league wide issue.

The theories discussed were interesting. The consensus #1 reason among those in the discussion (including three callers) was the advent of PSL licenses. I didn't really know what a PSL was. From what I gathered it's basically a license to buy season tickets. That PSL, from what I understand, is a seperate cost from the tickets themselves. I believe one tier that they discussed was $15,000 dollars. That's 15k for the RIGHT to buy season tickets. Now, you actually have the privilege to get hosed for the price of the actual tickets themselves. Many PSL owners sell tickets during the season to help cover the cost of the PSL itself, not necessarily to cover the actual cost of the tickets. When digging yourself out from under the burden of that PSL you really don't care if the guy helping you pay off a debt is a Cowboys fan or a Texans fan. Their money all spends the same. Again, this is a league wide issue. It's not exclusive to Dallas.

They also discussed the fact that Home Field advantage is also losing it's effect due to the types of stadiums being built. They are no longer focused primarily on the "football" experience. Today's stadiums have for too many distractions from the game itself (AT&T stadium was specifically referenced as was the 9ers new digs and the new MetLife stadium). There bars, and clubs, and restaurants, and retail outlets. You name it, a new stadium has it or will have it. Levi's stadium (the 9ers new crib) actually has a fantasy football lounge that serves no other purpose than to constantly update fantasy stats on several screens. They even have a stocks type ticker that just scrolls fantasy stats. The problem is that these are all distractions from the actual event, itself. The football game.

Home field advantage was built on the backs of the blue collar worker (the NFL, ITSELF, was built on the back of the blue collar worker). Unfortunately, with the cost of these new stadiums and the need to cover those costs, the blue collar guy has been priced out of the experience. The NFL is now the "it" thing. It's the place to be. The place to be seen. Stadiums are now being populated with a decent percentage of people that are casual fans at best. They're there because it's the "in" thing to do. Give THOSE fans a distraction like a sushi bar or a latte station and it's one less guy with his *** glued to the seat and screaming his lungs out.

AT&T Stadium is by far the biggest offender, in this case, but every single new stadium built from this day forward will be a carbon copy. The costs of these stadiums are encouraging owners to squeeze every single nickel that they can out of these facilities. No longer can these teams rely on 8 home games a year to cover the actual operating and mortgage costs on the properties. In this regard Jones has been an absolute genius. He's hosted the biggest concerts, sporting events, and conventions conceivable since that place was built.

Atlanta had to use a silent snap at home against the Bears on Sunday. Too many Bear fans cheering. Or was it too many Falcon fans booing? Maybe both. I'm sure with Atlanta stinking up the joint this year that ticket value has dropped there and yet a bunch of Bear fans were still there. Don't know how the OP will interpret that

Bleu Star, if you wanted to be known as for being a big *** on this board. Mission accomplished.

That's nothing new. My perspective is uniquely my perspective. Some like it. Others don't. Rest assured the perspective of others as they relate to my own tilt doesn't impact my day. I love the interaction on the board but it doesn't pay my bills. I don't judge others and don't care enough to pay attention to those that do choose to judge.

If you really want to see a game, the party passes are $29 and the best deal in the game. They aren't in a bad location, you still get pretty much all the same atmosphere....you just don't get a seat.

Jones is in the business to make money. People still continue to pay for it. In general, the stadium is sold out so the product is not over market value. The secondary market makes a ton of money so as much as we all would like the prices to be cheaper, they won't get that way unless something significant changes. Just think, we haven't had playoff success in forever, just think how much prices will be if we win a Super Bowl.

 

[Bleu Star]

Party passes? Standing? Hmmm.. Sounds kinda like the experience at the Tampa Bay home stadium. We were there a few years back to see them play the Boys. We had seats but they had a great party area on both end zone sides of the field around club leap else with tables, concessions, etc. You could stand there and watch the game with a pretty good end zone view. We spent most of our time standing in that area socializing. I'll check out the party passes. Thanks.
