I'm assuming your seats are in one of the club end zone sections. Its strange that your seats went up ~8 percent while KtotheT's (which I assume are the next "zone" in) appear to have gone up ~20 percent, even with the reduced price he cited.

I was at the MNF game against the Niners and left early when it got out of hand. It was fun listening to sports talk on the way home as they were taking calls from people watching the game in progress and listening to the freaking out.

There's some tweet from Trump when he was president complaining about "how can I be impeached when the Dow is at a record high?"

Reminds me of the famous David Brooks tweet about his burger and fries at Newark Airport being $80 when 75 percent of his bill was al-ke-hall.

I cringed when Kelce threw that lateral to Toney at the end of the game yesterday (of course negated by the much-discussed offside), but was Travis trying to pay tribute to Frank's role in the Music City Miracle there?

I think Philly would've beaten SF in the NFCCG even if Purdy had stayed upright, but for Philly fans to claim that game as a butt kicking given the circumstances of what happened is indulting. Last week wasn't enough. I want the Niners to demolish Philly in the postseason.

I just think that whoever is the VP will be (if Trump wins) the most likely nominee in 28. And on the off chance that the Trump Administration doesn't piss everyone in the country off in the preceding four years, who knows?

Rupert. Doesn't mean their polling operation is influenced by the editorial slant. I'm sure most of the WSJ and Fox polls in 2020 had Biden ahead (and likely Hillary in 2016). Hmmm, I feel.at this point the opportunity to be his VP in 24 is gonna be her best chance in 28. Of course, I do think Trump will be an albatross to whoever the GOP nominee is in 28 if he is sitting president.

Idk....the WSJ poll showing Haley 17 up on Biden has to have the Trump camp considering having Nikki on the ticket. Of course I don't know why GOP voters don't see that and nominate her instead, but the infatuation with Trump is beyond explainable. I do think DJT winds up picking a female as his running mate....if not Nikki, then someone like Katie Britt. Not some kook like MTG or Lake.

No chance Trump picks any of those to be his running mate.

Alternatively, Trump will win next November, and will say, "see, this proves the 2020 election was stolen" and more people than just his supporters will nod their heads. That's what most bums me out about this. We're never coming back from the lack of confidence in presidential elections because of this jackass.

Consecutive home losses against 2-win teams (although AZ is not a 2-win team if Murray is in there all season) is not a good look in the Steel City. Are we getting Tomlin? 😀

I don't think Vivek destroyed anything. IMO, Haley and Christie just chose not to indulge his childish insults. I'm half convinced Vivek is on stage to make Trump look better by comparison. What an ass he is.

Next season the popular non-division home games will be Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and the NFC North opponent. The less popular ones will be Atlanta, Carolina, and the AFC South opponent. From a renewal perspective, it seems like the team has never had an issue filling the lower bowl, so I expect that'll still be the case. The upper level was struggling, but if they are selling those out now and the price increase for those seats are minimal, people will still renew there as well. The interesting area to me will be the club level. There were many sections that became ghost towns before they slashed prices prior to the 2022 season and drew a lot of folks in. If they jack up those tickets and people are no longer encumbered by multi-year contracts, I can see a lot of folks bailing.

On the Junkies this morning, Tailgate Ted said his 4 seats in 103 went from 5236 to 6396, over 20 percent increase. Parking separately is 500. Apparently no discounts. First payment due 10 days before Christmas

"You don't knoooow what you're missing......."

Looking through this thread, it appears people started noticing the increase for 2023 last November Gonna repost the blog entry from March on the Eagles increase. Obviously Harris doesn't subscribe to what the writer says in the first paragraph. Can Eagles fans who sir in the LL at the Linc be looking at 300 per game next year? https://www.crossingbroad.com/2023/03/eagles-once-again-raise-season-ticket-prices.html

I'm looking forward to seeing what the new stadium has to offer, whenever that is. But look at the thread that is discussing how much the team is going to raise prices next year. 30-40 percent increases cited for lower and club level seats. Couple that with PSLs, and how are people going to continue to afford this stuff?

The way I see it, he'll be paying $293 per seat per game (for 10 games total), versus $210 per seat per game he paid this season (again, assuming he hadn't gotten the discount last year). The Skins seemed to really slash prices on club seats prior to the 2022 season. These increases are making the prices creep back toward the pre-slash levels.

Close to 40 percent increase, even without taking into account your discount last year. Ugh

But the way I see it (perhaps flawed), in years where you have 8 home regular games and 2 home preseason games, shouldn't the price go DOWN from the prior year. Will prices for the whole season package be lower in 2025 than in 2024? Something tells me no. IMO, Leonsis has gotten a free pass in this town because of the former owner of the Skinmanders. I don't even think the Skins might've been the worst pro organization in this city. The Wizards have been just putrid. Yes, my point is that it really sucks for the people in the 100s who are facing this 33 percent increase (1500 to 2000 for the season). Harris can mitigate this by ripping out the dream seats that were installed in 2004. Restore the lower bowl to its original configuration so that the 100 level sideline folks don't have to stand all game.
