The majority of people don't go to games, so this is just another of your comments that make little or no sense. Now, please stop stalking me. Others will get jealous.
Actually 65,000 people go to every Patriot home game. I can guarantee that the majority of fans have attended a game that they have thought they were over charged for parking, tickets and other things, thats the price you pay for following such a successful team like the Patriots.
Who do you think you are? You go around on this website constantly criticizing people, trying to sound more educated than we are and just come across as a stuck up ignorant jerk. Maybe thats not who you are and your a nice guy, but those are just my observations and I am sure other people on this forum would agree.

There are alot of people to whom $40 is nothing and not even close to the price of what they consider a good meal.
You are absolutely correct, sir. When the Cafe Budapest was open in Boston, dropping $200 minimum on a meal for two was something I expected to do, and looked forward to doing as frequently as I could.

Don't worry about them. I do appreciate that you've kept them in your thoughts.

1. I would never presume to judge your purchasing habits or preferences.
2. The stadium and the parking lots are full every week, which conclusively proves that the product is not overpriced.
That doesn't mean it's not overpriced, it just means that people want to go that bad that they are willing to pay whatever to see the pats live.....I agree with Deus that it is absolutely absurd what professional sports have done.....People used to be able to take there families to a game and enjoy it now you my as well set aside at least a weeks pay to take your family to watch 1 live event.....Whether it is football, baseball, basketball.....It is all overpriced and so are all these athletes we put on the field.....I get tickets from my work to go to events that I want but I will not pay for these overpriced sissies on the field.....These guys are "supposed to be" professional athletes and for what MOST of them get paid they suck.......If I am going to pay the kind of money that is demanded to go to a game I want to see professional athletes and not million dollar men dropping balls (braylon Edwards), Throwing to the other team every other pass ( Jake Delhomme), Getting a holding call or personal foul every other play (Flozell Adams).....Until professional athletes get there head out of there ass and decide to put everything they have into being the best they can be, I sure as hell am not going to pay $40 to park or even $40 a ticket.......

I'm not criticizing anyone on this thread. I've noted that personal preferences differ. You'd know that if you'd actually read my posts. Since you're just stalking me from thread to thread, however, that's irrelevant to you.
And there's a hell of a lot more than 65,000 people in the New England region.

You have decided not to attend games because of the price of parking, which is your right. I go to all of the games (I guess this makes me a "sucker" in your mind). But it is a fact that all of the parking lots are full every week. I wish parking cost less, but there is no rationale whatsoever for the owner of a business to charge less when people are literally lining up the pay the going rate.
It will be interesting to see if parking costs go down if/when the team hits a few consecutive down years and game day attendance suffers.

Were they able to squeeze owners of the private lots for this as well? If not, those people are making out like bandits.

Not all people in the New England region are Pats fans and the same 65,000 people dont attend every Patriots home game. The majority of Patriots fans have attended atleast 1 Patriots game that they were over charged for things. Your argument on this subject is one of your weaker ones.

No, it doesn't. It does demonstrate the truism that some people will pay for overpriced goods and services, for various reasons. We see this all the time, in all sorts of areas. A classic, nice, example is people buying candy bars for school fund raisers.
some people = 68K+ ??

No, it's not. Even in relation to other teams, the prices are inflated. People paying the price doesn't change that.

You may not judge mine specifically, but you'd surely say things like "There's no way I'd ever pay $x for that product." That's what we're discussing here. It seems personal because the product is something that some here are actually buying rather than being something neutral like "widgets".

1. I've decided that there is value in attending the games. I get to make that decision, much the same as you get to decide not to. That doesn't make me a sucker, nor does it say anything about you other than you do not perceive the same value that I do.
2. By definition, products that consistently sell out (and, in fact, have a large waiting list of even more customers who want to buy the product) are not overpriced.
3. Your example is not appropriate because buying a candy bar for a school fundraiser is an act of charity.
