gridironmike Posted May 22, 2003 Share Posted May 22, 2003 Yes they do. Some people have to scrape just to afford regular season tickets. That is what the waiting list is supposed to be for. When you add higher prices and extras to those that can afford them, you are leapfrogging others that have signed on expecting a fair shot at available regular seats. If they are giving you a number, they should follow that order UNLESS it is to get on the Club Level. He is making premium seats out of regular seats.

Kilmer17 Posted May 22, 2003 Share Posted May 22, 2003 When I signed up in 1989 the ticket prices were less than half what they are now. Should I expect to pay the price from 89 or today when I finally get mine? It's not a handout. Im sorry if someone cant afford to pay for tickets, but I cant afford a house at Pebble Beach either.

gridironmike Posted May 22, 2003 Share Posted May 22, 2003 If you were number 10,000, you should expect to get your chance after the 9,999 in FRONT of you had their opportunity. Not behind number 26,000 because they are going to overpay for some burgers and dogs and still sit in the regular seating section (non-Club Level).

Kilmer17 Posted May 22, 2003 Share Posted May 22, 2003 Why should I expect that? I expect Snyder to continue to bring in top talent and put a winner on the field. If that means some people pay more for a package that includes tickets, good for him. If on the other hand, he INSISTED that the only people who would get tickets would do so by joining this tailgate club, that would be a problem. As it stands, only a portion of the new tickets are being disbursed this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kilmer17 Posted May 22, 2003 Share Posted May 22, 2003 Arent there different prices for diferent sections of the stadium (not counting club)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinthePRF Posted May 22, 2003 Share Posted May 22, 2003 I just got an offer on tickets today, am I getting ripped? My name(actually my mothers) has been up for some time as she signed up around 1988. I got money for any or. Upper deck 400 endzone: $440 per seat Upper deck 400 sideline: $590 per seat Lower deck 100 and tailgate: $1240 per seat + one time $499 fee Plus I've never been to the new stadium, anyone who has been can you tell me if any upper nose seats are worth it? I've been to Panther stadium and the upper nose section still keeps you pretty close to the action and not looking like a flea circus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief skin Posted May 22, 2003 Share Posted May 22, 2003 There was a similar post regarding the "CLUB" a few days ago and we all thought it was a rip off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it you have tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilmer17 Posted May 22, 2003 Share Posted May 22, 2003 Nope, Im about 20k on the list. And nowhere does it say that if there are enough that accept the tailgate there will be no others available. My Uncle will get his second pair this year and he was around 100 on the list. And he didnt buy the tailgate. Just to note, he's been on the list since the mid 70s.

One Dollar Posted May 22, 2003 Share Posted May 22, 2003 That downright stinks. And to think people used to complain about the Glazers "seat deposit" program (It's like a seat licence only they give the money back over 10 years). I've got to enlighten them about this scenario. I'd be plenty P.O'ed if I was waiting in line and some corporate money bag or wealthy individual got to step ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilmer17 Posted May 22, 2003 Share Posted May 22, 2003 They already do that everywhere. They can buy club seats. I saw that the Bucs now have 50k on the wait list. Amazing what a SB will do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Dollar Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 Kilmer, it was 50K in the season BEFORE they won the superbowl. It's now over 80k. Amazing what a good owner can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilmer17 Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 Not according to the billboard right outside of 1 Buc place. I drove by it on the way to the Skins Bucs preseason game last year and it said 20k. I remember because I was telling my brother in law about the Skins wait list at the time and he commented "wait and see what happens if the Bucs win the SB." Truer words havent been spoken. Dont take that wrong 1$. It was a compliment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Dollar Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 Might have been, but in Septemebr it was past 40K and rose all season. Winning the SB helped I'm sure but the new ownership made the real difference. Ray Jay has been sold out since it was built in 1998. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
