Well, looks as if McNair has decided not to raise ticket pricing for the first time since '06.

He should have lowered them to the '06 prices and then I would be happy.

Glaringly absent is reference to the 300% increase in beer, hotdog, soda, etc. prices........or the new pay toilets to be installed just in time for the beginning of next season.

This is merely a reaction to the suckage that was last season.
I was kinda hoping BoB would show his true colors and raise them again next season. 2006/2010 no ticket price increase, HMMM wonder why that is? Go ahead and gouge us for your crap product Bob. |

Yes I got my invoice & the price is still the same as last year. The only thing different is now you get to pay in 4 installments rather than 3.
You know that since seat prices didn't go up, that concession prices will without a doubt. Thank goodness I am blessed with a great tailgate group that can cook their you-know-what off. I don't have to buy a thing in the stadium.

Throughout the league, teams have either kept prices the same or reduced them given the labor uncertainty.
However, the main negotiator for the NFL, Bob Batterman says that by increasing the schedule to 18 games, they can raise $500 million. Not all of that will be TV money. That gets paid for somehow. Some see those numbers as suggesting a 10% increase in 2012...why? Because you are paying for more real games. That doesn't even taken into account cable/sat companies charging more because they have to pay more for programming. There is no free lunch. New labor deal is going to be paid by us.

I wonder how much ticket prices will go up if the Texans ever male the playoffs.
You can believe that BoB's going to make his loyal season ticket holders pay through the nose. Atleast we wont have to worry about that for 2/3 yrs. |

I have no doubt that Bob will see fit to bring our ticket prices more in line with GB's as soon as we win our first SB.

"Ticket Pricing To Remain the Same" seems fitting considering that the product doesn't change either.
