I did not renew my 4 LL seats and green parking this year. Part of it was the price increase, but ultimately it came down to the overall cost to have 4 tickets vs. buying individual games, and making co-attendees pay the full value of the ticket. Each game is $520 for my 4 seats and parking... which means I am over $1,000 deep before I even step foot in the stadium for week one.
Each seat cost me $120 per game. I can buy the club level SRO seats for around $75 for almost any game from stub hub. I enjoyed watching the game there better than in my cramped seats anyways. I can pretty much attend every game for less than the cost of my preseason tickets. And it will be nice not having to worry about filling all four seats every game.
Most likely, I will go to 6 or 7 games. I can sit in dream seats once and then just buy Club SRO's and I will still spend the same money as just the preseason.
The reality is this... as the online ticket marketplace has matured, there need to be a season ticket holder is decreasing. You can now get seats to any game, with much less effort then ever before. The one caution I would throw out there is that you should never under any circumstance buy a ticket from craigslist or a scalper. There is a ton of fraud going on. Using stubhub and ticketmaster gives us buyers additional protections.
BTW... My decision has nothing to do with Dan Snyder.. I don't hate him like many other people.... it is just simple math.
