Re: 49rs 2x seating prices - how would we react in Baltimore?
Agreed.
There is an atmosphere in the stadium that cannot be duplicated. Using the last home game against the Texans, the home crowd didn't get the feel of the warm up to the game. That amazing "I'm Coming Home" video montage on the HD screens, leading up to the anthem and flyover, culminating in the ever famous Ray Lewis intro. There's nothing like it.
The league seism to be aware of the many fans who do prefer the at home experience and I think WiFi and other ideas they floated at the owners meetings will go a long way to getting folks to be more interested at the game. Once they start allowing iPads and similar tablet devices, it will be the best of both worlds -- highlights, fantasy etc on your tablet at the same time the game is going on.

£50 for soccer games in uk, well, last i was there. Granted they have probably 25? games at home over the course of all competitions in a season, possibly more.
Are Bball games cheap considering they play loads at home

Once I had multiple kids the NFL priced me out of going to live games. I do continue to pay for the Sunday Ticket though even when they raised their prices. This year they're actually dropping them probably because they had priced themselves above the market and were losing subscribers. The economy still stinks and is going to for many more years to come. If they want to sell product they need to be smart with their pricing.

I paid $400 for 2 club level tickets for the PO game vs Tenn. They doubled by the next home PO game vs Indy. I started paying $100 pr ticket for reg club tics when the stadium was first built but they've more than doubled. Those tics are at least $200 now.
I haven't been to stadium in 4 yrs except for a couple of PO games on the road. Since retiring I've saved thousands by going to less Ravens games. Watched them all on
TV.
Here's a list of ticket prices for 2012 Ravens season. Looks like my old seats are now $285 pr game and thats more than double plus double that for a PO game. So its
$2850 for season ticket package for 1 plus more than that for a PO game on a fixed income.
Nose bleeds in the end zone are $55-$60 as cheapies.

I love going to games and I try to go to at least a game or two per season, but honestly when you factor in all of the money it costs to go to the game I can get a pretty sweet set up in my "cave", if you will, and enjoy a lot more than just Ravens' games.

It may take some effort to attend the games (money, parking, weather, etc) but like anything that takes effort, it is more rewarding. We are social creatures and sitting at home watching TV just doesn't do it for me. I like the thrill of being there. I never get the same thrill at home. I'll take the stadium for as long as I can muster the effort.
Everybody's talkin' at me; I don't hear a word they're saying; Only the echoes of my mind
I'm going where the sun keeps shining; Thru' the pouring rain; Going where the weather suits my clothes
Banking off of the North East winds; Sailing on a summer breeze; And skipping over the ocean like a stone

I doubt ticket prices in Baltimore will get to where they will in the Niners new stadium. The last couple of seasons, I've gone to a game, but as my investments are doing better, I can see myself staying on that track or going to a couple more per yer.
I probably won't be getting a PSL anytime soon, even though I want one.---

Re: 49rs 2x seating prices - how would we react in Baltimore?
does anyone think that they will start charging the at-home tv watching public to watch premium games on tv...
simular to prime time boxing matches...
charging a flat fee to watch certain games.
I have psl but only go to two to four games...
when Im at home, I wish I was in the stadium.
I sell my seats to friends and family.
They can afford to go once a year...

The already do. That's what the NFL Sunday Ticket is. For a flat fee you get access to everything that is not normally shown in your area.
I don't see a pay per view with no other option like those events you describe. The networks have no problem selling advertising at the highest possible rates for the Super Bowl and other huge games. Why would they take that away for pay per view?
