Default Has the economy affected you with your tickets?

I was looking last night on ticket exchange and there were a great deal of tickets for Monday nights game and it got me thinking. With the highest prices in the NFL, have a lot of you reconsidered going to a lot of games this year?

Monday night games are harder for most especially when they start early. I think that has more to do with it than the economy.

A major kitchen renovation has affected me from travelling down to see a game this year. Is that related to the economy? Maybe my economy?

This offseason, it's almost like Belichick is saying, "I'm never going to let that happen again."

I am a 9 year season ticket holder and it was a struggle to pay this year's prices. I can't really say the economy has affected me because, like every previous year, I'll go to some games and sell some games to friends.

I have no plans whatsoever to relinquish my tickets because these are the "good ole' days." But 8-10 years from now and Brady's gone and Belichick's gone? I am probably going to let my account expire.

I'll always be a fan too - but I can be a fan without spending $9,000 on season tickets. If times are good for me financially, which I hope they are, I'll certainly keep the seats. But right now I'm paying almost $7,000 for 4 seats. It's perfectly reasonable to predict that number will be $9,000 to $10,000 10 years from now.

It's easy for you to sit here and say what you will do 10 years from now if you get the notice you are on the top of the list. I don't know you're personal financial situation, but if you got hit with a $9,000 bill to watch a rebuilding team, are you any less of a fan if finances dictate you turn it down?

6 season tickets - lower bowl - one wedding - down payment help x 2 of my kids, maybe 3.............damn good thing I am fortunate enough to be in a recession proof business (food - folks gotta eat) and the companies we represent are doing OK.

Not a great or even a good year, but when I look around, I sure am thankful for what I do have - times are tough out there.
