Pats ticket prices over the years

Interesting and related point: I was listening to NFL radio this morning and Ross Tucker mentioned that in this day and age, with the NFL more popular than it's ever been, that stadium's are still not selling out. In fact, only 7% of all NFL fans have ever been to a stadium. Maybe it's a good time to start lowering ticket prices?

See that and raise you

Went to Pats games pre-Schaffer Stadium in Fenway Park. Bleacher seats were behind the EZ and cost $2.50. Took my future wife to games. Interesting times as guys would smash beer bottles and fight with them. Being brainless (just over 20) it didn't faze me.

Lance Allworth, Cookie Gilchrist, Elbert Dubenion...

I didn't know the Pats played in the 1930s.

Lowering prices isn't going to make it any easier for a fan to make a game. Maybe that would help in Tampa, Jacksonville, Oakland or Miami.

Unlike MLB (81 home games), NHL & NBA (41 home games), most people will hit up a Sox, Bruins or Celtics game as there are many more dates, ticket promotions and the schedule is more convenient.

BTW: It is much easier to get Sox tickets than the Red Sox and media make it out to be. Their sellout streak is as bogus as the Celtics streak back in the '80's.

All the teams with high ticket prices are selling out.

The teams that aren't selling out are teams like Buffalo and Jacksonville, and they don't sell out because they've been perenially terrible.
