As been reported many times, all seats sold in this round are will have associated season tickets locked for 3 years at $375/seat/game regardless of the seat. What happens after 3 years?

My representative had a confusing answer to my question and seemed to imply because of NFL profit sharing rules for tickets, that any adjustments to this price (after 3 years) would be limited by league office rules regarding the price adjustments of stadium tickets.

I'm not convinced. Did anyone else ask this question? Does anyone know what will happen to ticket prices after the 3 year lock? Will my $375 per game ticket suddenly skyrocket to fair market value ($1k or more per ticket/game) once the 3 year period is over?

No I didn't. It didn't occur to me.

There were many questions I didn't ask. Largely because I have much doubt this is a shell game.

Its just not how I roll.

*STRANGER* Any idea if the free food and drinks is Alcohol?

I ask as I wish there was 1 more tier. Say 25K free food but no beverage or if 100K & 80K are alcohol then 25K is food and soda or water. I know when my family eats at the games it gets pricey fast.

I'm sort of a skeptic about anything that's not written down on paper. However, my representative claimed that at the VIP+ levels (80k, 100k) you will have access to the field club (which I believe.)

He claims the field club will serve free food and drink to those with access and that they plan to fly in "world class chefs" and serve alcoholic mixed drinks in this club.

I was told the same thing about the 80k/100k levels but he did say as far as he knew beer and wine were the alcoholic beverages at the moment. 100k would also have their own only access to the chairman’s club.

My experience with ticket prices were they are set by the club except the playoffs which have league mandated pricing. Club seats though are different ie., you may notice they are not filled but they announce a sellout. In AZ they did not count towards the necessary sellout to broadcast the game locally. So I’m not sure if they have other league rules too for pricing club seats.

My overall take was they don’t have all the answers and some may not be right so watch your contracts carefully. That is what they will fall back on if push comes to shove. Not something verbal the salesman told you.

I’m not sure I agree the FMV for the seats are going to be 1K/game using Levi stadium as an example. Those PSL’s and per game prices tanked very quickly from what I understand. The product on the field I’m sure had a lot to do with it. Not sure how or if they have recovered. Don’t get me wrong I will be buying seats but maybe with less exposure. Should we continue to play well this may not matter as a winning team demands premium pricing.

Just my 2 cents. Go Rams!

Yes, my guy was definitely fast and loose with his answers -- so I definitely did not trust any verbal statement he made. Hence my questions/posts.

He did, however, introduce a slide to me that seemed to suggest the 'value' of the discounted 375 tickets as compared against other courtside/front-row sporting events. Were you presented this slide? During his presentation of this slide, he seemed to suggest that the face value of the 'premium' sight-line tickets for the Rams should be in the $1000+ per seat range. I think he was representing 4k tix for courtside Laker tickets, $2k tix for VIP level seats for a soccer match, etc. That's why I asked him about the 375 pricing and how long that would hold beyond the 3 years. He claimed that based on league profit sharing rules, they were limited in price adjustments (+/- 3% annually?)

I wonder if anyone has ever heard of such a rule to limit adjustments to stadium ticket pricing. And if that might be applicable to this situation.

Thanks for the input fellas, much appreciated...

BTW, i'm going Thursday, will try to ask about future ticket prices...

I asked my rep and her name is Emily by the way. Her answer to this question is that if prices of tickets after year 3 go up it would go up marginally over time. She said that she worked selling SSL's for the Cowboys and since inception the tickets have only gone up by $10 per ticket. So that's the comparison I worked with and if true that prices go up marginally over time then it's not too bad.

No mention of NFL policies about ticket prices like the other rep's may of mentioned to some of you guys.

I ended up locking in to C116 Row 4 which is pretty much goal line on the south end of the stadium on the visitor side. I wrestled with the thought of going up to section C222 for a more "birds eye view" but those were starting in Row 12 for seats closer to the next section over towards half or Row 5 for the section over closer to the south end zone.

The ultimate deciding factor between the 100 level and 200 level for me were the Club access. In the 200 level you get access to what's called the Patio Club and the 100 level you get access to the Executive Club. The Executive Club actually wraps around the entire 100 level whereas the Patio club will be smaller in sq footage (less than half the sq footage). The Executive Club just seemed to be up my alley in terms of experience.

Just got back a few hours ago from my appointment. I too was contemplating between moving higher up vs closer to the field and ended up deciding to move closer to the field based on the club. Executive club allows you to walk around the stadium whereas the patio club doesn't. Ended up with aisle seats in section c116 row 3. Counting down the days!
