Bidwill comments on ticket prices

[Reddog]

I wish I could’ve been one of the reporters at Bidwill’s press conference when he justified ticket price increases based on still being slightly below average for the NFL. Reality is in their 38 years in Arizona they ranked in the bottom 4% in the NFL in terms of winning. If he wants to use the rest of the league as a benchmark for ticket prices, we all should get a big refund because our pricing should be in the bottom 4%. Increasing ticket prices, especially this year is really in bad form.

There’s zero chance of me attending any of next seasons games. None. So for me he can raise them all he wants.

I would go if I’m in the neighborhood. just like this year next year they’ll be unloading them on the secondary market and can get in the building for probably 15 to 20 bucks while the original purchase takes a huge loss I’m good with that.

Having a competent owner like Ishiba in town really makes Mickey look like Captain Nickels and Dimes.

Suns: Family Nights $50 ticket includes a $20 food credit. Hot Dogs, Popcorn, Soda $2. Score 7 three pointers get a free Western Burger every game
Dbacks: Soda, Hot Dog, Pop Corn, Corn Dog $2.99. 12 Oz Bud Light $4.99. Can get season passes for $350

Mickey Mouse Bidwill?

I prefer Bidwon't

I gave up my suns‘s tickets this past year. Just too woke, and too underachieving. I think the product is way better this year but the economics in the NBA are way out of whack for season tickets given a number of games the cost of concessions, etc.I’m glad Ishbia is doing what he’s doing, but that was a total rip off too 42 games at hundreds of dollars a ticketd - two drinks were 40+ bucks. I don’t have any problem with the Cardinals stadium experience and prices and it’s only eight games. I have a problem with raising the tickets for a product that is so far below average. Bidwill is definitely out of touch with the paying fan base.

The difference between the two as I see it, because Ishbia has made serious mistakes while owning the Suns, he tries to correct his mistakes. Not just making moves for the sake of doing it.

After 24 years, we finally made the decision to not renew our tix.
It’s a bit bittersweet but just way more cons than pros. Product on the field is almost unwatchable and they are raising tix prices.

Understandable

The entire NFL has no business raising ticket prices.

Haven’t you heard about all the local concession stands he’s brought in???? sarcasm…. he’s a smug, pompous, entitled ass and unfortunately we are stuck with him.

Agreed. I find the current product much less compelling than it was 30, 40, 50 years ago.

I mean with the amount of television money these teams get it show total disregard to the average fan.
Ticket prices are out of hand. Salaries are out of hand. And now not only do you need the NFL ticket , you need Prime, Netflix and Apple TV to see all the games.
Ridiculous.

OMG. Yeah them too.

The view from those Casitas still saw a 1-7 record at home. What a view!

Not 1 patron of those casitas gave 1 single crap about the game. It's a corporate schmoozing tax write off. That end zone is pathetically quiet now.

I hate Bidwill.

If you don't follow the Suns, everyone gets a free Western Cheeseburger from Carl's Jr with the purchase of a large drink tomorrow. It's so easy to hit that it's basically every game

Cardinals have zero things like this.

Tell me you don't go to the Cardinals' games without telling me that you don't go to the Cardinals' games.

Nearly every pro sports team has free drinks or food for pretty basic gameday achievements.

The Cardinals give away a free Bean and Cheese Burrito at Someburros (with the purchase of a large drink) the day after every game in which we get a sack.

The other two no attendance required for their stuff

You don't need to attend the Cardinals games to get that deal either. You just need to be aware of it. This isn't the 1970's where you need to show your ticket stub to get the deal. LOL
