As long as people continue to pay for scalped tickets and people/agencies who hold them sell them for those prices, they can increase the price of tickets without concern. The only time it matters is when they can't sell out of games. That will either come with a few ****ty seasons or they price themselves out of the market.

Just check out Bruins tickets. $50 to $150.

The fact that the Patriots play only 16 games means they have to charge more than Hockey.

What a greedy bunch of MF'ers. I hope nobody goes. You'll never catch me donating a penny to that cause. $169 for a ticket, all so you can then pay $50-60 to park, and $8 for a beer. When did Gordon Gecko & Montgomery Burns start working for the Pats?

Like Vrabes said a few weeks ago at the rally, the die-hards are slowly getting priced out of the stadium. It is not just the Pats it is all the teams, The Sox, B's, C's are all way too expensive for the average person to go to a game, esp if it is a family event.

It's all about the money. Why would they build a huge shopping mall where fans used to park? It's not about the average fan, it's about making money. And they are very good at it.

I think they are leasing the land to the retailers? I think Bass Pro Shops etc. put up their own money to build most of PP. Maybe Kraft paid for the smaller shops and will obviously be leasing them out.

Going to have a talk with my Dad about the seats. I'm not sure if we want to pony up for another season.

When are invoices due?

Yeah but Vrabes didn't say he would press the PA to force the players to take less money.

The salary cap will be going up from $80 to $160 million in less than one decade. 2004-2014.

Lets face it taking your family to a game is slowly becoming an almost once in a lifetime event, like going to disney or something. At least they are not charging for training camp like some other teams do.. (at least not yet)
