Default Anyone else giving up their season tickets?

I'll be 38 in October and I've had my tickets since 1992. Time for me to step down and let the people who want to go to Foxboro take my place.

If anyone wants to give Bob Kraft $5,000 by March 31st let me know.

Is it just the economy etc, or is there more to it than financial concerns?

Its a little bit of both. The drive is a pain in the arse and the cost hurts.

I think the Pats are the only team in the NFL that require full payment of season tickets by March 31st.

5k is not cheap..... I'd pass and use that $$$ elsewhere.



Been to games.... Baseball, Football, Hockey



You get a better experience on the TV versus being their. I see that getting old...... few games a yr why not...



Direct TV and a 58 or 54 inch TV.... i'm already in the game.


Daddy needs high Def w/ capable HD TV.... but I don't see that happening for at least 2 yrs. In 2 yrs...... friggen High defs will be cheap and Plasmas' will be second tier and some new thing will be out.

Hopefully, you can still catch a game or two every year, therefore cutting down on costs significantly and still going to the more 'important' type games. It must suck having to sacrifice that after almost 20 yrs, but as we get older we have different priorities too. That extra money could possibly be used on something else you desire, or for your family etc.

As another poster said, DirecTv is a great way to go for the NFL Sunday Ticket. You can also split the cost up over 5 months throughout the season too.

Hope everything works out.

EDIT: sorry Sean, was typing while you suggested same thing--2 or 3 games a yr

Parking is ridiculous. $40 to park across Route 1 from the Stadium?

I love the Pats, but this is it for me.

Pretty soon Gillette will be as corporate as the SB. I love watching on TV during the kickoff and again at the beginning of the second half and all the red seats are empty. Folks are shaking hands and drinking merlot in the mall.
