Tickets-$75 x 10 = $750
10% Tax= $75
Parking $40 x 10 = $400
----------------------
Total: $1225

That's the grand total for ONE seasons worth of viewing the Redskins at FedEx. Double that if you want to bring a friend. Now, this doesn't even factor in the costs of gas, food, and other game day related items that would incur a cost.

All that for one season's worth of entertainment. Now add in the fact that if you drop 1500 on a TV, you get to use it everyday, all year round. Not only that, the next season, you won't have to drop 1500 again to view your favorite team. Investment wise, this is a no brainer.

BJ's has HD tv's at around $1,000. Same size as your $1,500 tv. Just sayin'...

Strippers need to eat too. You're supporting a good cause.

Waaaay overpriced. It all boils down to whether you think that product is worthy of the price being charged. I, like you, think that it is not worth the price of admission. I think many fans do it out of some sort of "loyalty" or with a mindset that the tickets will increase in value and they'll be sitting on a gold mine.

I just posted one that I thought was a good deal. By all means, if people can find a better deal than go with it. Also, Samsung is by far the best quality TV on the market these days. I bought my parents one last year for their 50th anniversary. I'm such a great kid. :P

I think it simply comes down to what folks want to spend their money on. $1,225 isn't a lot of money for 10 games, if you're paying for yourself. Add in everything else and it's probably a few more hundred dollars. I actually thought it was more. Now if you're talking about taking multiple people then that's another story.

Thats also assuming you don't have any friends to go in on the parking pass. Tickets only went up about $110 for the season so its not that much. I'd bet most of the people bitching never ev en go to the games or own season tickets.

It's just a matter of how you choose to spend your entertainment dollars. Unless you are suggesting that we should spend out entire lives in front of the TV because it's cheaper. Some people like to go to broadway...some people go to the movies every other weekend...some people like to go out to dinner a lot. What i am saying is everyone wastes a certain amount of money a year going out and having fun...and some of those peope choose to spend that money on the NFL.

I was speaking for myself. That wasn't a reflection on what people should choose to do with their money. FD made the comment about me bitching about a $75 ticket when the TV was $1,500 so I broke it down to show how I felt about it.

I don't think it's just the NFL that is overpriced, even NBA lower level seats, concerts, hell even broadway plays. Prices are skyrocketing, but salaries are not. Every price point has a plateau and I think it's close to being achieved in the NFL. May be wrong, but we'll see this next decade or so.

OK fair enough. I think NBA & Broadway is even more overpriced. As expensive as the NFL is there are only 8 dates which makes it more exclusive. NBA has 41 dates and ticket prices that are more then the NFL for the lower level and Broadway charges over $100 for the worst seat and they do shows all year long. I sure as hell wish my season tickets cost less but I guess what i am saying is that all entertainment is overpriced and unless your willing to stay home all the time your going to get gauged by someone...

I believe the higher ticket price is nothing more than just passing the cost onto the customer for the "upgrades" to the stadium.

Some people are meat eaters others are vegetarians.:cool-smil Personally, for so many reasons, I like watching the games on TV.
