This is why I will never attend a Cowboys game at the new stadium

I'm sorry but $500 + parking + concessions. NO FREAKING WAY EVER. It's not about can I afford it, because I can. But these are the 2 cheapest seats available for Sunday's game, and it would easily cost me $700 total. Does anybody else feel these prices are simply unbelievable????

I could instead stay at home and watch the game on my 73" 1080p TV, and send that $700 as an extra principal payment on my mortgage. Damn I can't believe these game ticket prices man. How are there 80,000+ people at each home game putting up with this? :bang2:

Wow what website did u find those on???!!!

Same tickets for $59 right here:

I had season tickets to Texas Stadium the last few years--I live in Northern Missouri and could make it to 7 or so games there a year.

But there was no way I could or would pay the $150,000 seat license plus $340 per game to keep the same relative seat at the new Jerry World.

One solution is that I go to road games. Got sunburned like the dickens at Tampa, likely frooze at Arrowhead, and was horrified at the outcome of the game at Invesco--but in each case I got a ticket between the 30 yard lines for 1/3 to 1/2 of what I would have paid to see a similar game in Arlington now. Plus it's very enjoyable living the NFL experience at different stadia.

OK, I still go to a few games in Dallas--but only when I want to and have the time. I was at the San Francisco preason game and will be there this Sunday against Seattle and in January against the Eagles.

I still see as many games in a year, see more venues, and save a little on my football budget. It's a win-win.

 

[HeHateMe]

I am selling two tickets to that game on Ebay, and the bidding starts at 99.99 for two. Same section. There are people who are not looking to gouge you, and I am one of them.

You got any extras for the Commanders game?

PM me if you know anyone trying to help out a Cowboy fan and his wife from New York.

Thanks.

No way on earth I would go with a Party Pass. Sounds misserable.

With my college student budget, I would do the party pass in a heartbeat if I was living near Dallas.

This is crazy. I know tickets are expensive, but you are citing as an example THE MOST EXPENSIVE club seats in the stadium. There are only a handful of seats that are that much and they are the most exclusive premium 50 yeard line seats that come with the most extravagant amentities.

My seats are 50 yard line, upper deck, and I only paid $5000 a seat for a 30 year license and the tickets are only $99 per game. That's not that expensive in my opinion.

 

[Nexx]

gotta pay to play. go big or go home.

 

[Soth]

Is the view good from the 400s section? (sideline)

I thought tickets would be much more expensive than $60-80.

 

[ThrowuptheXDez88]

Sorry my friend, but you are way off here... You are obviously going to the wrong websites, I have gone to all 3 games so far and bought great tickets. I am going to the Cowboys-Seahawks game this Sunday and won the bidding for 2 tickets on ebay for a total of $212, $106 per ticket, they are lower level, row 2.... very very very good tickets for that amount is just great! free shipping , just printed out the tickets.

 

[ETex]

Like the others have said, it pays to shop around. I usually sell my tickets on Ebay but sold the last on the Cowboys Ticket Exchange via Ticketmaster.

Cost for Sec. 102 row 13 Falcons game ------------$160/each

If some of ya'll are interested, I'll post them here before I sell next time. I'd much rather have a Boys fan's *** in my seat. (don't think that came out right )

Here's the view:

Look @ the concrete barrier....that begins the $16K/$320/Game club seats . I'm about as close as you can get to sideline seats on the lower level without having to shell out $500/seat/game.

[ladiewolve]

why complain if you are not buying the tickets anyway?

people buy what they want to buy with their money

Why complain?? Because if they weren't so high then the average person might be able to purchase one every now and then. It's not right to set something so high to see if people will pay that price!
Sure there will be people who will...but what about those of us who can't afford those prices? I wouldn't travel 7 hours to purchase a stand up ticket for 29.00 dollars either. I'm just saying.......

 

[Beast_from_East]

Avoid TicketMaster (single game ticket, not ticket exchange) at all cost, they will gouge the hell out of you. Like others have said, look around and you can find good tickets for a lot less than $500.

 

[Section446]

Cry me a river, try having season tickets.

He's complaining about the price...not that he CAN'T buy them. He's obviously saying he would buy, just not at $500/pair.

 

[gmoney112]

He's complaining about the price...not that he CAN'T buy them. He's obviously saying he would buy, just not at $500/pair.

To be fair, if they were the price he was wanting he'd probably have to buy them 2 years in advance.

 

[JohnnyHopkins]

I got tickets to the Commanders game. I paid about $200 per ticket on the lower level around the 45 yard line, but it is worth it to me to go and see my favorite team play in their first season in the new stadium.

There's a lot of things in this world that the average person cannot afford. That sucks. But that is life. Again, I'd love to ride on the private space shuttle, but given supply and demand, they cannot price that for the average person.

Jerry has to make money somewhere to pay for the stadium, the facilities, the players, and the like. As much as I am sure he would love to have every person in Dallas be able to go to the game, he cannot do that. He cannot sell tickets for $10 each.

Yes, it's expensive. Yes, that means some people who went to games at the old hunk of junk can't go now. That's unfortunate. If we lived in a world where economic reality did not apply, it would be sweet if we could do things differently. But it is what it is. I do not think there is a valid beef to have with Jerry over ticket prices. Supply and demand.

That's where my tickets are, and I love the view. You can see the whole play develop, you can still make out which player is which, and you have the best view by far of the video board.

the city of Denver has a deal with the Broncos that requires the team to offer 2,000 "half-price" tickets to each home game. Now, it's only 2,000 and they go QUICK the day that tickets go on sale. But, if you don't mind sitting in the nosebleeds, $30/ticket gets you in to see the show.

We lucked out and got 4 tickets for the Cowboys game there. My friends are all Broncos fans...it was a bummer for me, but still, for $30 + roadtrip...I didn't feel *THAT* bad after the loss haha

Arlington should have required a similar deal from Jerry.

 

[brett2223]

it is what it is. I went to a game 500 fot tix in the 4th level 100 to park. and then food drinks and thing you want to buy. you can do it or not.but knowbody is forcing you . I did not like paying it, But I can say I got to go to the stadium. and let me say it is even more impressive there, then on tv and that is saying something. some people pay for things that other people think is ridiculous .

100 to park????? There is no way they charge a 100 to park do they?
