New England Patriots have most expensive seat in NFL

The New England Patriots have won more regular season games and playoff games than any other team since the Brady-Belichick era got rolling in 2001. Their fans have paid for it.
MSNBC recently pointed out that the Patriots have the most expensive ticket price in the league based on the secondary market for tickets. Unlike some lists of this sort, the source actually has factual data to back up their claims.
The average Patriots ticket on the secondary market costs $241.86. That's $3 more than the Giants average ticket price. The defending champs are well ahead of the Bears, Cowboys and Packers in the battle for most expensive ticket.
There has been criticism of the Patriots crowd in recent years. Seemingly spoiled by success, they only seem to get "up" for the biggest of games. They are also quick to get quiet or turn on the home team if things aren't going well.
Perhaps the fans would argue that they paid a lot for those seats, and they expect a certain level of performance to match.

No surprising...Those quotes are completely accurate. i lived out there for a bit. When I was out there, they won their division but got beat by the Ravens in the playoffs. The next day, the fan were calling for Belicheat's head and saying it was time to trade Tom Brady...seriously....Go kill yourself you chowder heads...

Yeah NE has gotten to the point where the expect to win and when they don't it's more than just a disappointment it's a catastrophe. To me it's amazing that drafting late and with all the talent they've lost they continue to dominate as much as they do. That's a well coached well oiled machine.

eh I still like to point out Belle's lack of a record in Cleveland, and lack of a SB win since spygate. He's w/a better and more well run org then when in Clevend which made him look horrid, but w/out spygate he's not the legend he is right now, and probably doesn't still have that job.

There's a ton of money up in that area, so it's no suprise that the seats would be expensive as hell. Dallas has some crazy ass prices on their seats too. But it's too few compared to the regular priced seats which are actually priced pretty nice.
