Season ticket surge pricing

[Happy Panther]

Tickets came today (YAY!).

So preseason tickets are like $45.

Regular season is around $140.

Except for two games which are $150+. One of them is the opening game against Dallas. makes sense.

Yet the prime time game against the Saints is back to $140.

Don't really care but the pricing seemed strange.

I'm not cool with that.  Hornets do that bullshit too. If you're buying the entire damn season that's garbage.

Wouldn't it not matter if purchasing the whole season and help value the tickets for resale more accurately?

Never been to a game so how are these prices compared to past years under JR?

This is kind of what I was saying when they “lowered” the preseason ticket prices.  I still paid the same total price for the season so no effect on the season ticket holders.  What it did though was make the regular season games more expensive for those buying single games etc.   

They just shifted the cost making it cost more for others.  It was an artificial way they raised tickets prices to others in addition to the normal increases.  Yeah it made preseason cheaper for those buying those individually but people were commonly reselling those for $40 bucks anyway.

I don't think I ever paid more than $15 for preseason but cant remember when I last went

Interestinly I did go look at my tickets more closely.  The lower preseason and higher regular season has been for several years.  I DID just notice what has been referred to in this thread and that some regular season games have different pricing.  That is new this year, for me at least. The Cowboys and Giants games are $20 more per seat than all the other regular season games.  

Interesting for sure.  Overall for still doesn’t matter because I’m buying the whole season.

Sure if you're reselling.  It punishes people who actually buy the tickets to go to the games though.

How? Is total price higher? I thought it was just pushing face values around.

Taking list price from a preseason game and moving it to another punishes?

These technically were set by JR.

It did for those buying single games because prior say pre season and reg were $74 seat but now preseason is $44 and reg is $94. ( I know my numbers don’t add up , but you get the point.  This is close to how it is for mine.).  So now the single game buyer is paying $20 more a seat than they would have before when were all same price. 

Not saying it is wrong. It was a way they increased the cost of regular season games in addition to the regular increase. You would have paid less if they didn’t do that.  Hurt the single game buyer, where as for the season ticket buyer they just shifted around the total cost.

 That's been going on for three years.  I'm sure my regular season at 104 each that I paid last year didn't drop just the cowboys and giants cost more.  That costs me more money.

The lovely NFL ticket exchange allows the NFL to know what games people go to and what games they don't. I guarantee each team uses that data to set tickets for the next year.
