Ouch, My friend has five seats in the lower level. He's going to have to pay up to 100,000 dollars to keep his tickets. What does this say for the future of normal people attending games? http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/18/sports/football/18seats.html?ref=sports
Normal middle-class fans have no real chance to maintain their status as season ticket holders unless they are willing to make some real accommodations to the new realities. The biggest accommodation is that seniority no longer counts for jack shit in terms of season tickets. You can have had your tickets for 40 years and they're still going to go to some rich guy and his family.
“Believe me, I’ve felt that, but my father wasn’t faced with this kind of debt on a new building,” Mara said on a conference call with reporters. This is such bullshit...... guess what John, I can't afford that 500,000 dollar golf course home so you know what? I didn't buy it. Forcing the fans to pay for your debts is bullshit. Are you going to pay thier mortage if they get into trouble. I am hoping for a work stoppage in a few years to screw these asshole owners.
I have Giants tickets in my family, and they're looking to upgrade from the upper level back rows to the Lodge.
