Good point!

Let's take a trip down memory lane and look at the price of season tickets.

2001 (Foxboro Stadium): $49
2002 (Gillette Stadium): $99
2004: $125
2008: $169

I had no problem with the 100% increase in 2002 as I was expecting it. A new Stadium opened with no PSL's so I had absolutely nothing to bad to say about the increase.

But a $42 increase this season is ridiculous. I was expecting maybe a $10 or $15 increase.

Is Kraft having problems finding tenants for his mall? A mall that I will never go to as I live 40 minutes from Foxboro.

I can drive to tax free New Hampshire in 25 minutes.

I keep saying it: We would've been much better off over the long haul WITH PSLs. They appreciate in value over time like money in the bank, and they help keep ticket prices manageable.

Well on the positive side, I think a lot of waiting list people will be bumped up to season ticket holders. My brother and I have four season tickets. To think we are going to have to shell out $936 for two meaningless preseason games makes me a little queasy.

Kraft better make sure we get the third preseason game for that price. I definitely don't want want to shell out $117 a ticket to watch Matt Cassel go up against a bunch of future Walmart employees.

Where are all the people who make fun of us season ticket holders for not making enough noise?

I thought those people would buy our tickets in a heartbeat?

You can have mine as long as you send me a money order or certified check for $5,070. Personal checks will not be accepted.

Don't forget by March 31st and then more money for the playoffs (at even steeper prices) just before Christmas.

Its always the ones who don't go who say "what's the big deal....Kraft is just doing what the market supports"....but the majority, if they had to write the check year after year, couldn't or wouldn't.

And by the way, I have two tickets as well on the Pats side. I was told tonight the "true" value of Pats tickets are $250 per game since that is what you can get on e-bay and such. According to that "logic" the Patriots are actually selling lower than the true value. So, anyone with $5,000 grand certified check before March 31st for two tix, let me know.

this just forces more tickets to ebay at inflated prices to off set the cost

something I never have done but it is enticing to think selling 1 game could offset the increase

Will you accept an out-of-country, post-dated, bad check?

Just kidding. I will PM you later.
