I wonder if the Krafts overestimated the Pats' fans willingness to pay whatever to go to the games. If it is a case of a large portion of season ticket owners not renewing, I wonder how deep they will go into the waiting list. I don't think there is a chance in hell that they don't sell out every game though.
The bigest known threat is whither the CBA 2010 and thereafter.
I agree with you on this statement.......the players & owners really need to understand that no good will come out of screwing over the people that buy the tickets, go to the games, watch the games on Direct TV and "free" TV, support the sponsors etc etc.
Of course the game will go on no matter what, but, if they go too far, they may never get back to where they both were when they decided to stop work, strike or whatever.
I hope we've heard the last about how the Krafts were fans and therfore understands our needs... I think he has a better understanding of money.It matters not how deep they went given the present depth of the waitlist. I'm one who will be attending games less, but more because of the parking exit hassle than anything. For the Krafts' sake, the Pats had better keep on winning. A return to the past would make Patriots Place and the Gillette skyboxes expensive white elephants and cash drains.
Fortunately, I believe that the Kraft-Patriots corporate culture is strong and will prevail. The bigest known threat is whither the CBA 2010 and thereafter.

Kraft is/was a fan and I think he does understand some of our needs. That doesn't mean his needs dont out weigh our needs. Jeez guys we are in a capitalistic society here and he has every right to charge what ever his demands allow. I think the Krafts and the NFL are very charitable, more so than most cash cow businesses in this country and I think that is all we can really ask for.
anyone see the price of a box of cereal these days. How can Kellogs get away with that, it is not possibe for a family to bye Kellogs cereal for their kids to eat every mourning, they have to get generic cereal.
Hey you cant knock the people who have held those season seats for years and have basically been priced out of them and have no other choice but to give them up.
Why can't I knock them. Not my fault they can't make enough to go. If you can't afford to go because the price is to high. Than even if you could afford a cheaper ticket wouldnt you be better served saving the money for more important things.
I have been going to games all my life, I haven't missed a game in this new stadium, and I know there is the inevitible day when I probably wont be able to afford to go too. But I wouldn't blame Kraft....
You think Football is the only thing that those people have been priced out of?
If you can't afford to bye the ticket it is not Krafts fault, but hey you wanna blame him go ahead.
I don't like the corperate atmosphere anymore than the next guy...But I dont complain because I know that is one of the things that paid for this luxary stadium that I enjoy so much.

I didn't even know the seats could be transferred at all. That's interesting.
Really? I'm being serious here.
Most NFL teams allow season ticket holders to transfer their tickets to other people for free. What does the team care? It's still guaranteed revenue.
The Pats had the same policy as other teams up until 2000 or 2001. Then they barred all transfers.
I remember receiving a glossy brochure from the Pats in 2003 or 2004 stating that the Pats will be reinstating transfers...For a price. $5K per seat.
Patjew: I think you know I'm a big Pats fan, but this is the kind of stuff that Kraft/Management has been implementing over the years.
