A few extra $ for the accoutrements isn’t going to break the bank. yep... load up on BBQ, chips, and Jagerbombs at the tailgate beforehand and you’re good to go ? 2

My client has one here in the arena and he said that his bill is over $800 every game ...we also had a Sabres suite but dumped it as things got too crazy financially.............

Buddy Hix Posted June 1, 2019 Posted June 1, 2019 As others mentioned, ticket prices are so cheap it more than makes up for the beer price. I can usually get away with only buying 3 to 4 beers a game until I get back to my cooler. And during winter games I bury a beer in the snow at the gates and don’t even have to get all the way back to my cooler. I only have a drinking problem at New Era and the cottage. 1

My time is money! That's my only real gripe with the stadium. As someone else pointed out, the LOW admission cost makes these numbers reasonable.

And Fed Ex field is imo the worst in terms of sight lines and atmosphere. Pass 1
Shooter McGavin Posted June 1, 2019 Posted June 1, 2019 Pretty ridiculous to be in the top 10 for concession pricing when the stadium itself is in the bottom 5 in the league!
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted June 1, 2019 Posted June 1, 2019 Well, the price for a case of beer in the corporate suites equals out to about a ‘per bottle’ price at the peeler bars...uh...so I’ve been told. ?
Gugny Posted June 1, 2019 Posted June 1, 2019 If you're eating at the concession stands, you're tailgating with the wrong people. 3 1

More money, more power and too often more corrupt. Haven't been to a game in years. Probably won't for several more. I like the game but the business is owned by a bunch of old bags of greed that I'd rather not support. 2

Doc Brown Posted June 1, 2019 Posted June 1, 2019 The food prices encourage tailgating. The beer prices rely on tailgating to keep the buzz going. I don't get too bent out of shape about it. 1
Augie Posted June 1, 2019 Posted June 1, 2019 FYI - the cheap prices in Atlanta are great.......if you can ever get to the front of the line. For the Bills game here we got in early and I got my goodies. I tried 2-3 more times when the place was full, and gave up each time. It was much better for soccer, but we had sweet seats in a private club and a different deal. Hopefully it’s gotten better at the football games.

Does your company pay or do you get together and pool your resources?

Doc Posted June 2, 2019 Posted June 2, 2019 2 hours ago, Mr. WEO said: The market sets the price. The tickets are priced at their worth. In December it’s even less than that. Yeah it’s a small market. And when they start winning again they’ll still be among the lowest. And who needs to go to games anymore? They’re all televised.

And who needs to go to games anymore? They’re all televised. A lot of people here used to seem to assume the ownership was keeping the ticket prices low (below market price), as an act of altruism. That was always incorrect. Winning will increase demand and then price.
