Ticket prices are just plain stupid.
But they sell, so I guess the price is right.
Not for me, but the market rules.

Yeah, I agree. Someone seems to be buying the tickets. Kind of like housing prices in the US.
I cant udnerstand how anybody can afford them, but the prices are high because people are buying them at those prices.

How can a normal guy take his kid to a game? Answer? He can't.
I just refuse. if they make it so I have to pay to watch on TV I wlll, cross my heart, give up the NFL until they come back to earth.
Arrowhead Stadium has a capacity of 76,000 and change. At an average $600 a ticket that's $45 million per home game, times 9, $405 million. Plus playoff games which I'm sure will be even more ridiculous. Plus concessions.
Pittsburgh’s Christmas Day game against the Chiefs is on Netflix… I can’t even go out to a bar to watch it on that day…

That’s my thing. Same with concerts. If I had billions of dollars I’d make sure regular folks had access to take their kids to events. It’s really sad, right now.

I dont know if he still does it, but Garth Brooks (US country singer) was good with this. I have see him a couple of times in concert and the tickets were all "reasonably" priced (~USD$70 ~ 5 years ago). The couple of times I saw him, he would just keep adding concerts in the city he was in until they did not sell out. He wanted to minimize the "second resale" market on his tickets.
He said that he has made enough such that his grandkids grandkids were taken care of, so why price tickets too high.
