For the same reason you would "allow" your boss to prepay you, I guess There had better be a good benefit out of this to do it, otherwise you're helping the Kraft's cashflow and hurting yours.You pay for parking either way.....How are they milking you anymore by allowing you to pre-pay.

With respect to interest of other methods of investing it, you are correct. However I prefer to manage my cashflow by getting money as quickly as possible and keeping it as long as possible . . . that's why I always owe on my taxes tooThe benifit to the Krafts is they get the money for parking sooner and can invest it. But I am not sure where it hurts you the consumer. So you shell out your 400 for parking in a one time few instead 40$ 10 times. We are not talking some huge some of money that you would make tons off if you had it a few extra weeks. And don't give me the crap about some can't afford to shell out 400 at one time easily because if you can't maybe buying football tickets isnt the best way to spend your money.
My guess is only prepaid accounts will eventually have access to the stadium side lots (P-2, P-7, P-8), once all 80 planned stores are opened.
I answered the survey as a 'maybe', but after thinking about it, i should have said 'no'. I'd never prepay for all 10 games since i do not go to both preseason games. It's difficult to even sell the tix to those games at half price. I don't want to add to my loss by giving away the parking too.
Next year I'll take advantage of an offer a friend made me, to park and tailgate for free at his place. It's about 1.5mls away, but so are many of the spots in P-10.
I'm also toying with the idea of moving to Foxboro and take advantage of the lot next to the field house, reserved for residents. Between the location and the ability to use the suite-holders entrance & exit would almost make it worthwhile to prepay.

How do you figure? As others said, you pay for parking either way.
Krafts are looking to lock the consumer in for that money for all 10 games. Most season tkt holders don't go to preseason games.. But by locking that money in early, they are:
1. guaranteed a specific amt of money
2. avg 30,000 cars parked at $40 for a season and you get 12,000,000
3. put that 12mil in and the interest alone is great cash flow for basically doing nothing
Why would a consumer want to lock himself in without added benefits. Are there added benefits?
BTW the stadium is avg at best and the parking/traffic situation is a mess.. Wish they would spend time figuring that one out
It's just not good practice to lend your money out for free. Sure there's little interest to be made on $400 for 6 months or whatever but you know how a bunch of little things add up to a big thing. Save the money, make a little interest. Do it on as regular basis as you can and before long it'll add up to something worthwhile.We understand it is a real good thing for the Kraft's, but I still don't see where it is a problem for the fan. I don't know about you but I am locked in for the games and for parking wether it is prepaid or not.
