section122 Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 3 hours ago, PromoTheRobot said: Interesting Twitter thread. I had no idea the Patriots haven't raised prices since 2008. (But their prices have been obscenely high for tickets and parking!) Its all in the wording. Note that it says stadium wide price increase. I will guarantee they have raised individual sections at times but haven't done an across the board raise like this year. Found it: https://news.yahoo.com/patriots-season-ticket-prices-increase-183742559.html Check the last line. Most sections have received at least 1 increase which again implies some have seen multiple. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found the BN piece with the details, it was linked thru a ProFootballTalk article. Here are the details in it, stripped from the text of the article that is: Quote The personal seat license prices noted in the survey start at $500 for general seating – and reach as high as $16,500 for premium seating. For the reserved section, which makes up the majority of the stadium seating, PSL prices in the survey ranged from $2,600 to $5,950 in the lower level, $1,750 to $7,300 in the mezzanine and $500 to $3,200 in the upper level. The PSL price range in the survey for reserved seating started as low as $500 for a $900 seat located in the end zone on the upper level, and got as high as $7,300 for a $1,730 seat between the two 40-yard-lines in the mezzanine. Among the average reserved seating options in the survey was a $3,950 PSL for a $1,310 seat, which would be in the corner of the lower level. For club seats, PSLs were as low as $6,250 for a $3,600 seat in the mezzanine between the 25- and 10-yard lines, and reached as high as $16,500 for a $3,500 seat on the lower level between the 40s. Some of the other more economical potential options presented in the survey include $750 per seat and $950 per PSL in the end zone in the upper level, and $900 per seat and $1,400 per PSL between the 15-yard line and end zones in the upper level. Meanwhile, the most expensive PSLs in the survey were in the club seats. They also included $11,200 for a $4,500 seat in the mezzanine between the 40s; $13,600 for a $4,700 seat on the lower level between the 40s; and $16,500 for a $3,500 seat on the lower level between the 40- and 25-yard lines. Luxury suite costs will not include a personal seat license and ranged in price in the survey from $7,250 to $23,750 per seat for the 10-game home schedule, depending on the size and capacity of the box. Maybe that'll work, but it seems like a lot for Buffalo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubba Gump Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 May be nearing the end of my long term season ticket membership. Not sure I can keep up with the Joneses (Pegulas) anymore. Will be a sad day when I say no that one day in March.

Matt_In_NH Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 (edited) This is not surprising, still like the cheapest in the league.

I hear ya. I know I am 100% out once the new stadium opens but I was hoping to finish out the ride at the current stadium but I just don't know if it's going to be worth it if prices keep going up until then. I am already on the fence about wanting to cancel for this upcoming season but will probably end up staying put for now. If this was the last year or if there were only a couple years left at the current stadium I'm sure I would just say screw it and keep it going but I don't know if I have it in me to go through this for another 3 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mc1320 Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 2 hours ago, PBF81 said: They more or less did with that "survey" that they put out. It was reported that they did not get a great response. You can google the survey, but I just did, and one excerpt about the least expensive seat was this ... There was one article that had all the proposed prices for every section along with the PSLs, I couldn't find it. I should have saved it. That seems to be about what I recall, but if that's the "cheap seats," I think that they're going to lose a lot of "cheap seat" STHs. At 8 home games that's $124, at 9 home games that's $110, ... for the upper deck corners. IIRC the PSLs for the best seats approached $10k, south of that but close to it, again, the PSL alone. I know that for some people here that's chump change, but are people going to pay that if Allen's no longer the QB and we suck again. It'd be highly unlikely on us hitting another "Allen" when he's finished. The upper deck center seats for sure were well over $200 apiece not including the PSLs. I do know that they were not getting that much, generally speaking, on the secondary market this season. I was watching, that's how I got mine. IDK, just seems like a lot to me. The estimated PSL price for my two seats in Section 137 in the survey was $4,400. If that holds, the effective price for the first season in the new stadium with the price increases today would be in the ballpark of $11, 400 - doubt I’m paying that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was so pissed after the Cincy game, I told the guys next to me that if Frazier is back next year I won't be. Actually is was during the game as we all left with about 7 mins left. I really wanna re-up but not sure if it will be worth it. I hate the March deadline, because it's before the Bills start making moves. They really need to have an A+ draft and make the right FA choices. So it's a crap shoot by signing back up in March. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, as I recall, that seemed to have been the consenus among posters here as well as elsewhere, ... generally speaking. I know that some fans fly in from the west coast, Florida, etc. and have seasons, but that's nowhere near a majority of the fan base. Eh, we'll see what happens I guess. As you suggest, I wouldn't pay that on principle, I'd rather take the family on a killer one-week vacation and still have thousands left over for watching the games at my convenience with fine food and drink catered to my chair side.
