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.
Dayum, I can't even get a beef one? :p

Bidwill, M. talking about WiFi upgrades in 2026 might be the most tone def thing I have ever heard in regards to ticket price hikes.

Can’t even imagine mentioning that as improving fan experience. If I was a team member in the Cardinals organization I would know my boss is a total clown.

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.
All those streaming services cost money which the less well off cannot afford. Reason I did not watch any Thursday night game ever on Prime or any game on Apple. If the Cards were on Thursday night i just went to a sports bar and watched it.

As long as people are buying ticket MB can continue to raise prices. However I think he might be in for a rude awakening this year. I know a bunch of long term season ticket holders who are dropping tickets this year because they are just too expensive.

Won't those just go to people already on the waiting list? Or possibly ticket brokers on the waiting list?

I’m not sure there is a waiting list because they called me all the time to come back. If tickets are available immediately, I’m not sure about a waiting list.

Is there actually a waiting list, or is the list all ticket brokers and people with names like "Michelle Goodwill"

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.

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
Not like the old days when you needed an actual ticket stub for a free Denny's meal after a win. Mid 90s- Cards win, free Denny's meal on the way to a Coyotes Sunday night game, which was also a win!
