I predict an unexplained surge in ticket sales once they put a date on the new season.

ALSO, I wonder if teams will refund fans who bought tickets for lost games. I would not put it past the league to not do that.

well just wait till Nov-DEC when the owners start to miss those huge rent payments on OUR stadiums (ours because the tax payers pay for most of it, the owners throw in 30% and call it “theirs”). i say no games we boot the tenants! start up new teams that are public held like the Packers and rid ourselves of all these greedy s.o.bs

You know the more stuff that comes out about just how incompetent the owners and Goodell are at trying to spin their side of things to the fans and the media, the more Im convinced that the real idiots here are the owners because they have chosen to follow the lead of a totally incompetent commissioner who just might singlehandedley ruin the honeypot.

Robert Kraft – Larry
Jerry Jones – Curly
Jerry Richardson – Moe ( he’s the mean one)

If the owners change their figures with the way the wind blows, who can blame the players for not taking the owners reported figures at their word? I wouldn’t take their word for it either. In light of this, an independent look into the books doesn’t seem so outrageous.

You can thank America’s favorite jack ass Jerry Jones… and Robert Kraft, Jerry Richard… why would anyone want to buy anything these three stoogies sell.

The rest of the owners should really think about cancelling games on 9/11. Americans remember that football brought us peace of mind a decade ago as the smoke and rebel still burned… if games get cancelled over greed I predict these owners wouldn’t be able to give away tickets.

It might be good that fans start putting football in perspective.

Maybe De and Roger can talk to De’s buddy in the White House during a round of golf and get a bail-out and some economic stimulus. Throw in a couple new stadiums and everybody is happy.

Well, they had better hurry just a little, because if they think the fans are going to back them if they miss just one game they are sadly mistaken. I predict that the fans WILL revolt if these jackasses don’t soon wake up!!! Would you like to bet on it De Mo and Roger?

@thomas2727 DirecTV has stated that they won’t charge a dime until the lockout ends, and will adjust accordingly if the season is reduced. So there’s no need to call and cancel and potentially miss out on renewal savings.

What the heck does the NFL or the players think will happen as a result of a lock out!?!? I am a die hard NFL fan and will watch as much as I did prior to the lock out after it ends. Regardless, the NFL and players deserve whatever negative publicity or lost revenues result from the lock out during this terrible economic time in which not only the employees (not players) of the teams, but also the business owners and employees of the surrounding areas and ultimately all businesses who support them are and will suffer!! This is a selfish move on both ends and it is unbelievably sad that nothing has been resolved yet. Shame on the NFL and shame on the players! They all deserve less money because of this crap!

They got bad PR when it was revealed that sales were up, now they’re spinning that they’re down.

As usual, the ham-fisted blundering of the NFL owners continues when it comes to PR.

I feel sorry for anyone who has already paid.

The PSL owners must feel really duped.

Not cool.

I called Directv and cancelled my NFL Sunday Ticket.

Can’t wait to hear numbers on how many people did that too.

The owners planned on having BILLIONS in TV money during the lockout warming their pockets but the judge ruled against letting them hold onto that money! So the owners miss out on billions & pass along the pain by taking peanuts away from the office peons who work for the teams & the league.

No surprise. At this point of the year, renewals have already been taken care of. Most people renew because they don’t want to lose the seats they’ve had for years. Right now, there is little motivation to buy new tickets to something that might not even happen. If my seats weren’t near the front of the price section I’m in, I would have let them lapse and made a decision when the season is actually confirmed to happen.

By: blackcatnfl

blackcatnfl — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 21:15:08 +0000

So does this mean I could lose my tickets of 50 years because I don’t front money for a season I view will never happen?

They should be barred from SELLING season tickets right now. Criminal.
