NFL teams blitzing in preseason?

Yah, everyone gets it, you don't have to buy season tickets. Can you not understand that people WANT season tickets but do NOT WANT to be forced to buy the preseason tickets? Your collective "hey tough [censored] don't buy them then" mentality is ridiculous.

Have you never bought a product and thought "Hey, I love feature A, like feature B and feature C, but I don't really care for feature D" - ZOMG EITHER HAPPILY ACCEPT EVERY SINGLE ASPECT OF THE PRODUCT AND LOVE EVERY SECOND OF IT AND NEVER EVER COMPLAIN OR ELSE JUST SHUT UP AND DON'T BUY IT. Such a ridiculous argument.

The NFL is so cash flush and tickets are already so expensive they really don't need to be doing this. You're paying full price for these tickets, and you're not seeing a full NFL game from the starters that we all care about and support. Lots of these guys won't even make the team (plus the game doesnt count obv). For teams like the Giants where people wait 30 years for seasons, opening up the preaseason and letting the more casual fan get a taste of the stadium would be great!

I mean, most preseason games nearly or do sell out, and yet the gameday attendance is usually under 50% capacity. No one gets excited for these games. No one wants the tickets, and they're forced down season ticket holders throats. Yes, I'll still buy seasons because I love the team and going to the real games, but I think it's reasonable to wish I didn't have to shell out an extra 100+ for something I didn't want it.

If the Bills get homefield advantage throughout the playoffs this year, though - hey, at least I'll have dibs baby!

Seriously, QFT. I think the people who were like "omg eat it you get value stfu or don't buy" were just purposely being difficult, because no one's that stupid.

Demand is so high for season tickets that they can package them with a low-demand product to move some of those. This is pretty common - look at what stores are doing with the Nintendo Wii.

Wishing that the package costs less is one thing, but when you're talking about rip offs or price gouging you're showing a sense of entitlement. Nobody owes you a cheaper package, no matter how loyal you are. You're not being swindled, as you know the cost of the deal up front. Customers aren't being gouged because NFL tickets aren't a necessity.

The NFL financial situation should have nothing to do with the prices. Do you ask that of all your companies? Should they actually not try to make as much money as they can simply because they're successful?

JoA is right, everyone else is wrong.
