Patriots game tickets on sale July 16 – Extra Points – Boston.com

And here we go again, another year where fans are tempted with game tickets that will be cleaned out by all the bots within minutes. 

Last year I wrote about the impossible dream that is face-value tickets, and yet again nothing has changed this year. I look forward to hearing from everyone who dances the “I have a chance at tickets” dance next week and comes up empty.

If NFL teams were serious about improving the stadium experience, it starts with giving real fans real access to tickets. Now, any tickets average fans can get will be marked up, only to be compounded by parking costs, overpriced food and drinks, and likely being so far from the field it’s like watching all-22 film.
