Tickets On The 50 Yard Line!!!
« on: November 20, 2007, 03:12:07 PM »
Is something I'll never have.

We are finally getting the first information on what season tickets will cost in the new Cowboys Stadium.

For a seat on the 5 (FIVE) yard line: $340 a game (obligated to buy 10 which includes two pre-season games.) But, wait, in order to have that "right" to buy those tickets, you'll have to buy a $16,000 seat option. "That payment gives you the 30-year rights to own, transfer or sell the seats."

And, get this, seat options range in price depending on how good the seat is. They range from $16,000 to (gulp) $150,000!!!!

Sheesh, how much will parking be?
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.

I wish I could buy tix like that for the Patriots.

4 would do nicely....but not on the 5....between the 25 and 25, somewhere.

Looks like the time has come for a Minor league like baseball has.

350 per seat per game?

The only ones that will ever be able to go to games are those very  stupid in what they spend their money on, the very rich, or corperations.

Your average Joe. whom bar FAR make up the largest single population of the fan base. Will never be able to afford to take their kid to a game.

Prices like that are a slap in the face to the average fan

Just paid $107 for Upper Level End Zone at Heinz Field for this Monday Night.

Sat one row ahead last year in December in the freezing bellybutton cold for $119, but I had fun. Great view.
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

that cowboy football field cost one billion dollars, you can pay your money for the seat and buy the high priced hot dogs and drinks and see part of the game or you can stay home, watch it on TV and see the whole game for free.

...with far better LazyBoy seating, no line at the bathroom, no limit on the beer quantity/brand you can have, much better BBQ and all the instant replay you care to consume courtesy of the DVR.

The stadiums have become the habitue of fools.

Eh, it's the Cowboys.  No sweat off my back.  You guys raised this 'Baby Huey', now you have to take care of the little monster you guys made.

Did I mention being able to zip through the various delays like time outs for commercial breaks simply by starting to watch the recorded game about an hour or two after it actually starts?

Two weeks ago, I went to the WVU vs Louisville game...Greatest Football Game I have ever seen. Well, I take that back... I went to the WVU vs Rutgers Game last year...Triple Overtime win for the Mountaineers. That was the greatest game ever.

It might be a costly venture, but nothing beats going to the games. I know I am going to spend a lot of money, and I am going to enjoy spending it. It sucks that people think that spending money on such things is a waste, these are usually the people in life that don't enjoy life itself.
