Tickets came today (YAY!).

So preseason tickets are like $45.

Regular season is around $140.

Except for two games which are $150+. One of them is the opening game against Dallas. makes sense.

Yet the prime time game against the Saints is back to $140.

Don't really care but the pricing seemed strange.

I'm not cool with that.  Hornets do that bullshit too. If you're buying the entire damn season that's garbage. 

Wouldn't it not matter if purchasing the whole season and help value the tickets for resale more accurately?

This is kind of what I was saying when they “lowered” the preseason ticket prices.  I still paid the same total price for the season so no effect on the season ticket holders.  What it did though was make the regular season games more expensive for those buying single games etc.   

They just shifted the cost making it cost more for others.  It was an artificial way they raised tickets prices to others in addition to the normal increases.  Yeah it made preseason cheaper for those buying those individually but people were commonly reselling those for $40 bucks anyway.

Interestinly I did go look at my tickets more closely.  The lower preseason and higher regular season has been for several years.  I DID just notice what has been referred to in this thread and that some regular season games have different pricing.  That is new this year, for me at least. The Cowboys and Giants games are $20 more per seat than all the other regular season games.  

Interesting for sure.  Overall for still doesn’t matter because I’m buying the whole season.

Sure if you're reselling.  It punishes people who actually buy the tickets to go to the games though.

How? Is total price higher? I thought it was just pushing face values around.

Taking list price from a preseason game and moving it to another punishes?

It did for those buying single games because prior say pre season and reg were $74 seat but now preseason is $44 and reg is $94. ( I know my numbers don’t add up , but you get the point.  This is close to how it is for mine.).  So now the single game buyer is paying $20 more a seat than they would have before when were all same price. 

Not saying it is wrong. It was a way they increased the cost of regular season games in addition to the regular increase. You would have paid less if they didn’t do that.  Hurt the single game buyer, where as for the season ticket buyer they just shifted around the total cost.

 That's been going on for three years.  I'm sure my regular season at 104 each that I paid last year didn't drop just the cowboys and giants cost more.  That costs me more money.

      He's not wrong though. You talk like a politician on here. Leaving yourself just enough wiggle room to say you never fully counted Bryce out if you need to....But we can all see it. Just say you think he is a bust outright and you will have to type a lot less. Obfuscating your opinion behind QB3 competitions etc....

      Experience with Electric Vehicles?

      By d-dave · Posted

      Most EVs are in the 90+ e-MPG meaning some measurement house somewhere compares the EV to a similar ICE model and works out how much is costs to charge (on average) versus fill up as a point of comparison. Talking long term, in the hundreds of thousands of miles?  No clue.  Some early signs are that EV batteries maintain 80% charge over 400k miles.  So there's that.   The challenge and charm of an ICE vehicle is being able to park it under a tree, get your jack stands out and tinker with your engine.  There's just not that same level of complexity in an EV.  I saw someone estimate there are 200 or so moving parts in an EV, and 2000 in an ICE vehicle.  I'm not a part counter so I can't really speak to that. I think that the EV is more the future than any type of combustion engine.  Those will still be around in specific purposes, but for most people - an EV will be the superior option in terms of efficiency.  I say that as someone who loves stupid horsepower numbers out of turbo 4 bangers and inline 6s...  I am one of those tinkers when I can be. A bigger issue for EVs is going to be the ownership versus lease.  Right now, there are INSANE leases on EVs, which is great, but what do you have at the end of that lease?  Nada, maybe some equity if you're lucky.  Where as I'm almost done paying for my car, and plan to keep it until the wheels fall off (or my son wrecks it when he starts to drive).  Will EV makers do the smartphone thing and build in planned obsolesce?  Stop updating software?  I love the tech in EVs, and I think getting more cars and trucks off the road is a good thing.  But I am still just a little concerned.  Capitalism has gotten far too extractive.
