I sought out and bought 5 tickets in section 340 and paid well over $200 each for them, and was glad to get them at that price. I bought 2 simalar tickets last year and paid over $300 each. I saw SR tickets in section 339 going for $200 each at the Monday night Falcons game and paid it to get my oldest son into the game, it was all that was left in that price range.
Century Link is an expensive stadium as compared to many others. Bottom line is that it’s not inexpensive going to games at Century Link, preseason tickets are as much there as seasonal division game tickets are in most other stadiums. I love my Seahawks and will pay whatever they charge to go to at least one game a year there, which is something I’ve committed to do for myself. I’m not getting any younger, and being in the stands at Century Link brings me a lot of happiness, win or lose. I’ll take in as many games as I can afford to attend. You don’t see the Seahawks having any problems selling out their seats, I’m on a waiting list for a season ticket thinking by the time I retire one will surely come available.
The cost of tickets just are what they are. Whatever the market will bare will always dictate prices and keep in mind that It’s not cheap keeping a professional football team in the Pacific Northwest. I figure my ticket purchases, all the NFL Seahawk garb I buy for myself and every other Seahawk fan family member I have, my NFL TV Subscription’s, I.e. the NFL Season Ticket, the NFL Game Pass and so on are all my way of doing what I can to help foot that bill. As corny as it might sound or seem to a lot of folks, it’s why I enlisted in the Army, combat infantry as a pup, I figured some things in life had a price worth paying to preserve. Seahawks Football, mom, apple pie, freedom fries, and all that jazz lol.
I’d love to see cheap ticket prices in Seattle, only so I could afford to go to more games. However I don’t think it would be long before We started hearing rumblings about the Seahawks looking for a new home location and owner. I’ll pay the prices they ask, it’s a business that is intended to be profitable to its owners, and beneficial to its fan base, which the Seahawks are on both counts.
I remember folks standing out in front of the moving trucks not that many years ago, with the Seahawks packed up inside and headed for Anaheim, California, when Paul Allen and the people of the Pacific Northwest collectively said hell no! That we would do whatever it took to keep them in Seattle where they belong. So I won’t complain when it comes time to pay for my tickets, it seems like such a small contribution for all the happiness and satisfaction in life that the Seahawks team provides for me and my family. I guess when you put it in perspective the ticket prices don’t seem quite so outrageous after all.
Go Seahawks!
