Default Being a Pats Fans is expensive.

Gee, no wonder Deion's salary demands are what they are.*

*-Note: This is a sarcastic statement and I don't need someone following up with an argumentative post on how the Pats ticket prices are higher because their operating costs are higher due to having a privately funded stadium.....etc.

I just thought it was an interesting list.

The price of being a Pats fan far outweighs the cost of not being one.

I was actually listening to EEI today when I was getting ready for work and the Big Fat 'O' had a good point. Pats tickets are higher but they dont have PSL's which off-set the cost, which is why other teams ticket prices are lower.

He said Carolinas PSL's are $20,000.00 per seat. That is un-friggin-believable. $20,000.00 and then you still have to buy your tickets. That's highway robbery. Thank god for Bob Kraft.

disclaimer: I have no factual knowledge of this, I'm just relating what was said on the radio today.

Default Re: Being a Pats Fans is expensive.

PSL prices vary depending on where your seats are. I think he probably meant $2,000 not 20.

Also once you own a PSL you can sell it for any price you want when and if you sell you season tickets. This is a long term investment. Hard in the short term, but imagine if you sold your seats 10-20 years from now how much coin that would bring in.

The idea is to make the fans help pay for the stadium but they can recoup those fees down the road.

$20,000 per seat is roughly equivalent to the price of a private parking spot on Newbury street. Sorry I'll just keep tailgating in my Dining room. I could do a grand a year though Just IM me.
