Comments on: Ravens to raise ticket prices by 10 percent http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/02/19/ravens-to-raise-ticket-prices-by-10-percent/ ProFootballTalk on NBCSports.com Thu, 20 Jun 2013 03:05:33 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: skins8888 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/02/19/ravens-to-raise-ticket-prices-by-10-percent/#comment-2345542 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 12:56:47 +0000 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1744348#comment-2345542 Baltimore had the state of Maryland build both Camden Yards and M&T Bank everybody seems to forget that, and the reason the Redskins don’t play in d.c., is because you can’t just make room for a stadium in a city that is actually productive, I’m sure it was really easy to find space in that hell hole called Baltimore, but I’m happy for Baltimore if they didn’t have the Ravens Bandwagon to jump on they would literally have nothing except, STDS and unemployment. By the way before you bash D.C. look at 95 north every weekday heading to Baltimore, all you bottom feeders sure love bashing the d.c. area but don’t mind taking your paycheck from it, and yeah you guys have had a great run since 1996, but at least I can say I have been a redskins fan my entire life.

If you aren’t a ticket holder in bmore you have no right to post so shut your pie holes. If you are a holder and a fan, you like me will gladly pay to watch our beloved ravens no matter what the price. 100 percent sell out since 1996.

I backed away from mine this year after 5 seasons because its just not worth it. 300+ for 2 people minimum if you’re looking to enjoy yourself and tailgate without relying on public transportation. The experience of attending a home game at m and t is amazing but I don’t see myself hitting more than 1 or 2 next year. Cheapest ticket in the house is already 60 bucks face value, some teams have $40 tickets, granted they suck but still.

I love going to Oriole games, maybe even more than Raven games because baseball season is mainly in summer, and go to 20+ games a year since as long as I was old enough to go on my own. I’m sure their prices will rise (think they did last season) as the are now fielding a great young team but I’ll keep paying.

Whatever Mr. Bisciotti wants to charge, people will pay (obviously within reason…). Maryland loves their sports in and Bisciotti is a Marylander who loves sports too.

Best team in Maryland wears Burgundy and Gold and beat the Ravens with a backup QB.

Yep and Steeler fans claim their 3rd string QB beat the Ravens at home but surprisingly, amazingly, against those odds the Ravens still won the Super Bowl. The game that really matters.

1. How does a team calling itself the WASHINGTON Redskins, practice in Va and play in MD?

2. If I remember correctly, you all fell out of the playoffs after your 1st time being back in after nearly 5 or 6 years!

3. The best team? Wow, last time you guys were in a Super Bowl gas was around $1.10 a gallon!

No kidding. How would they possibly sell a price hike to their fans when their hopes rested on General Joe. That would be one helluva marketing campaign. I wish I could think of a 4th & 29 checkdown slogan.

Still best value in DMV in relation to winning organization, downtown stadium with great gameday experience and well run business. not to mention WORLD CHAMPIONS!!!!

BTW, Ceasars Casino is opening up a block from the bank so I may inclined to sell a game or two and watch from next store!

Best team in MD won the Super Bowl, while your team was knocked-out with punch. I bet that best team you are talking about don’t make it to the playoffs again in another 5-6years.

There’s absolutely nothing like being there, and it doesn’t get any more HD than live and in living color. That’s especially true for Ravens games. Personally, I’ve always found that to be the excuse of people who seem to be jealous that they can’t go, for whatever reason.

They can raise my prices. The Ravens run a business, and if you buy into the business and its success, you understand this could happen from time to time. At least they’re not the Redskins and try and sell us a winner 3 times in 20 years.

Sure doesn’t appear that the Ravens are losing any fans or viewers considering they are 27th market. If anything they realized how crazy people are about the team and can make more money. Simple business.

– Redskins don’t usually beat the Ravens, but when they do – Ravens end up winning the Superbowl (Redskins won twice, in 2000 and 2012).
Ravens understand that when they loose to such an inferior opponent, big changes need to be made immediately (i.e. changing starting QB in 2000, changing OC in 2012).

Always, always, squeeze as much as you can when you can.

The day’s coming when the NFL will be charging to watch games on TV, too. You can be sure they have a plan for that down the line. Pay for view is in the cards one of these days.

You make it sound like it seldom happens that prices are raised. My math says that is 14 years so that means they essentially raise prices evr 2 years.

Personally, I watch the games from home for the price of free.99. But there’s a reason prices are so high yet the Ravens always sell out, and had so many vocal fans in the stands at the Super Bowl. The Ravens have enough fans that can afford it.
