Precisely. Every kinda club seat takes alotttta $$$$. I know I don't live in NE but I've been told numerous times by the paper and family Patriot games are a freaking joke in terms of price. It's the one price I guess Pats fans pay, but don't throw stones living in glass houses.
I am not directing this post at you but it just has SOME elements I see in the "red seat" posts that I want to point out...
I love how people complain ABOUT the "wine and cheese" crowd in the red seats at the Razor yet some will claim Kraft is milking everything he can and the Pats are too much $$$$$...blah, blah, blah.
Reality check...how many on this board could afford 150K to buy the RIGHT to get a ticket? Ok, Ok thats the most expensive ticket....16K for nose bleeds for the RIGHT! What do you think JJ is going to charge for parking???? Do you think there will be a "wine and cheese crowd" there?
Strap on 1.1 billion, or heck what 400 million for Kraft, he mentioned one time the interest alone was incredible on his debt. He took a risk, he had a sweetheart deal in CONN and parking probably would have been cheaper for all the people that cry about it.
Personally I probably could never afford Pats season tickets even if I lived back in MA and could bypass the waiting list.
However I have been to a Patriot SB (Houston) and it took me almost a year to pay the ONE ticket I bought off. IT was a choice I made.
I'm pretty sure I have worked in crappier conditions than most people on this board in extremely uncomfortable weather and conditions many, many days....but I can assure you this. If I went to a game and had red seat tickets I WOULD BE INSIDE AT HALF TIME! If the game was a blow out I might be behind the glass also. If the game was close in any way I would be outside screaming my fool head off.
My point? My point is that I see so many people complaining about Kraft and the expense of going to a game...along with complaining that the 6,000 red seats are the REASON that home games aren't loud and they "aren't real football fans". Well judging by the posters we have here that have season tickets a "common Joe" can seem to afford season tickets. It may be a major expense but "common people" seem to still be able to get to the game even though Kraft made it so "unaffordable".
16K for nose bleed seats and then have to buy the tickets every year? Hey JJ is spending 1.1 BILLION! I am not going to tell him he can't charge 16K-150K for PSL's but 150K is certainly an amount that staggers the imagination.
Comparing cowgirls PSL's and prices to Krafts situation....that doesn't take imagination, that takes fantasy.
