The Seahawks have 62,000 season ticket holders..let's say you have two seats..average cost of $100/ticket ( many cost much more)..that's $1,600 you're paying for 8 games, plus parking, concessions...etc..they held a lottery for their fans..I think 2,000 tickets for the Super Bowl were availalbe..so the other 60,000 fans, who paid through the nose have to watch the BIG game at home..comfy, in their dens, big screen TVs..no lines for bathrooms..whatever they want to eat right next to them...you think some will say..hey, why not do this for all the other 8 games and save thousands..
For Giants season-ticket holders (I don’t now if it was league-wide), you’re also forced to buy tickets for the pre-season games. Because of the increase in prices (including the “personal seat licenses”), the Giants went through a 30 year waiting list very quickly after the new stadium was built. I don’t know if they sold them all yet; I only see Jets’ commercials hawking their season tickets. Anyone I know who had season tickets for either team gave them up when the new stadium was built; it has become a spectator sport for the wealthy.
