Not even a Football fan (my wife and inlaws are) but I think that what they did to loyal season ticket holders is a joke! Tickets so damn expensive they offer a LOAN PROGRAM !!

High ticket prices are kind of to be expected the first while. Have to pay the thing off. Still a bummer to those who can't afford them next year.
Love the new stadium. At least how it looks so far. Don't care where it actually sits as long as it's Northern California.

^^^ that makes no sense. U finance for 10 years for 4 months of football? And that is only the home games which are what half at best. So what about the year after? U still have not paid off the last year, go into more debt? U will never get caught up. It should be a 1 year, 12 month loan!

400 a year for 10 years to have season tickets for 1 year, what happens if you want tickets for the following year?

It's stupid money for seat rights. I work with a guy who good friend has been a season ticket holder for 15+ years. He makes really good money. ( Over 200k a year. ) The equivalent of his seats would be around 40k. He said fuck it because he didn't want to come out of pocket for that ON TOP off the longer ride to the park.
It's really sad because I remember an old man on TV who had been a season ticket holder sense Kezar Stadium wasn't going to be able to continue buying season tickets because of the increase in ticket prices/seat rights. These billion dollar stadiums are pricing the average joe out of season ticket ownership. I bet people are going to go in on seats like a fucking time share in the near future...... If they don't do that already LOL.

That's if I want to finance for ten years. I already paid half of it off and planning to pay the rest this summer Remember these are just the rights. Once it's paid off, it's your forever till you wanna pass it on. The tickets are totally separate every year. [ 2014-01-20, 05:34 PM: Message edited by: S4OSHUS ]

Sorry but if you have to finance sports tickets for 10 years your ass should probably just watch from home.
I do have a Q for the REAL 49ers fans, what do you really think of this new stadium? The Giants got a super shiny nice ass park right by the Bay and you guys have to commute to SC to watch a game at a stadium that doesn't really look like anything special. There are a lot of stadiums around the league that appear to be better looking then the Niners new pad. Are you guys happy with the stadium/location?

I know there are serious football fans on here but under no circumstances should you be paying so much to sit in a seat at the stadium. the coverage on TV is excellent and you are cozy in your home watching it for FREE.
Save that money and buy stuff for your Mustang. You are better off spending the money that way. At least you have something to show for it.

As a die hard niner fan I really don't mind the location I'm in the middle of Santa Clara and Candle Stick so the drive doesn't make a difference. Candle Stick was and is a dump that place didn't have a future so the niners did need to upgrade and its unfortunate that a deal couldn't get done in the actual city of San Francisco. As far as the ticket prices are concerned I'm afraid that the real die hards will get priced out and that atmosphere will have a corporate and robotic feel with fans not really having a clue whats going on. That being said i'll still root for my niners no matter where they are.

Yeah I definitely agree with you on them needing an upgrade from Candlestick and unfortunately you know that at least at the start the whole place will be filled with business clients and companies showing off the new arena. My old lady works for ATT, when ATT then PacBell park opened we used to get company seats, the entire lower section was just people talking business and on their phones the whole time. Hopefully it's a little better with your guys teams since it's only 8 home games a year.

It's not anywhere near as good as the Cowboys new statium but u have to expect a price increase somewhere. But the seat prices are rediculous and they will not fill seats at those prices! I will always root for the Niners and will never change teams but have no interest in going to a game at these prices! I think they could have upped the prices on beer and food! That is what Dallas did! I heard that the price of one pizza was like $32 or something. Either way they are going to have a rude suprise when seats don't fill

The actual ticket price has not changed much. Its the seat licensing that is exborant. I went to Santa Clara and sat through the whole presentation with our sales associate. Its the licensing that people our taking payment plans on, not the actual tickets. Its essentially an investment, the club levels at ATT park had the same thing and they have returned 8-10% a year when people decide to sell. The reconditioned meadowlands stadium has an even higher rate of return. The license also gives you first rights to an event in Levi minus the Super Bowl and I believe college bowls. So the cost up front is sticker shocking, but its not money that is getting pissed away.

I would've liked for them to remodel and update Candlestick, much better location and a lot of history there. The new stadium IMO sucks and the location is horrible and oh yeah no more tailgating! This was/is a stupid move everyone who lives near there is going to HATE it it'll most likely jam 3 freeways at once!

I'm a die hard niner fan and I'll be the first to say we will suck for the next couple years. Willis and Smith are retiring. Gore is gonna leave, crabtree is gonna leave and Kap possibly leaving. Brooks is gone and we will have to see how bowman rebounds. [ 2015-03-09, 01:25 PM: Message edited by: adower ]
