The Golden State Warrior tickets went up three times what I paid for them on the open market a few years ago. Happens

Lowest repped fan base at The Clink that I saw this year was the Cards. I was surprised there were so many Vikes fans in attendance. I have my tickets for the Seattle Arizona game.

Yeah, probably a lot of transplants from AZ to Seattle lol. I have a friend that always goes though and wears a Fitz jersey. His experience has ranged from miserable to tolerable.

Last year I paid $350 for two tickets in the corner of the endzone about 15 rows up for chiefs at cardinals. Las month I paid almost $2200 for three tickets in a slightly better spot in Seattle to watch the cards beat my Hawks. Seattle's prices are insane compared to zona's.

I was at the Seattle/SF game here in Santa Clara. Started chatting with another Hawks fan. Dude said was cheaper for him to buy a decent ticket from a broker, fly to SF, see the game, get a hotel for the night, and to fly home the next day than it was to see a game in Seattle.

Cold weather teams fans travel well during the winter, go figure. If you're from Wisconsin or Minnesota and vacationing in Arizona during the winter why not take in a good game.

Arians and Fitzgerald were pissed off that there were so many Viking fans in the Stadium at the Cardinals last home game.

Cardinal fans will be quite happy with the price they will be able to get for the Packer game so am sure more will sell them allowing a nice visiting crowd for the Packer game. Those tickets will get them their biggest reward of the year if they sell them with the Packer fans always showing up strong. The lowest price on stub hub now for that game is $240 for a single ticket in the upper level of an endzone.

The Card fans wont get near as much the next week with Seattle coming to town with the lowest price at $145 so they better sell them for the Packer game so they can make the highest profit.
The fans have every right to sell their tickets if they want to. Who the heck cares what Arians or Fitzgerald think?

If they think the Vikings fans showed up in numbers just wait for the army of cheeseheads in two weeks.

No better place to spend Christmas. Beautiful weather, sunny, golf, etc. the minute Green Bay saw that game on the schedule, the started planning their vacations.
I think this is pretty accurate. Flying south for the winter to get out of the cold and matching it up with an NFL game sounds like a fun weekend getaway.

It was a Thursday night game so I think a number of those that sold their seats last week will probably keep them next week.

Yeah, Pete Carroll is known for his calm demeanor.

Pete is known for being a coach players love to play for. Not a hardass with anger issues (Imjay Arbaughhay). When's the last time you saw Bruce Arians smile?

This is an improvement. The Cardinals used to call the days when the opposing teams fans filled their Stadium Sunday...

Yep. I couldn't imagine living in an area with a high cost of living. That $2200 you spent is not that far off of 2 season tickets in the lower section near the 30 yard line.

Trust me...12 yrs in the northeast taught me a lesson in finances. It's not all that great seeing your hard earned dollars get sucked up by some of the highest property taxes in the nation, expensive commute, and super high auto insurance to boot.

ATL may not be for everyone (and that's a good thing) but the wife and I gladly took a 30% decrease in income for a much better quality of life. I'm done with the NFL gate regardless though...had my fun with it...time for somebody else now.

It looks like Az will get a home playoff game this year.
Let's all take a moment of silence and pray that the Cardinals won't have to beg the NFL for an extension to sell out a home game playoff.

Fuck the NFL and their greed. This is what happens when it costs the average family north of $600 just to attend one game. Happens in San Diego even more, since we don't even know if our team will be here next year. It really comes down to math:

1) You're a diehard fan but can't afford to go to many games.
2) You buy season tix for around $1,000-$1200 per seat.
3) You sell your tix for half the games for $200-$250 per seat.
4) You attend the other 4 games for anywhere from free-$200.

Very common thing to do in these parts. I know season ticket holders that haven't gone to a game in two years just so they can hold onto them in case the Chargers end up staying.

You think San Diego and Arizona are bad, just wait until the LA Chargers take the field. 16 road games from a fan perspective.
