Season ticket holders pay $ 86 for a ticket with a face of $ 69. Not the new math, Not the COA. Preseason tickets have a value close to zero. I threw mine away last year.

They cost the same as regular season tickets. We season ticketholders know the rules and accept them. $ 690 per season ticket divided by 8 regular season games is $ 86. That's the true face value per game. I wish the NFL would price the preseason tickets lower - say $25-and raise the face price of regular season tickets. The NFL wouldn't lose any money that way. Same revenue.

Doing that would allow us to sell a ticket to friends that want to go to a game, without having them think we are cheating them. It would allow us to sell tickets on this board at face, to fans that want them at a fair price of $ 86. When you are paying $ 86 for a ticket that reads $ 69, you rightfully feel cheated. The Board doesn't allow it. That's why most of have to sell our extra tickets on StubHub-where fans pay considerably higher prices. I'd rather sell at my cost to fans on this board, and pass the full savings (Stubhub fees), to the buyer. Alas-with the NFL pricing policy-I need to sell regular season tickets on stubhub instead.

I agree with your logic. Actually lower level sideline seats would be $96.25 ($770/8).

I totally agree, I thought I was doing my boss a favor by saying hey I have these 2 tix to pre-season I will sell to you for $30 a piece. She said she could go for less and her son isn't even a Bengals fan. I still paid more than double that amount but somehow I am made out to be a bad guy.
