Dallas Cowboys season tickets as low as $59 a game
By Andrea Ahles and Sally Claunch For the price of a tank of gas, a Dallas Cowboys fan can buy a ticket for one of the cheapest seats in the new stadium.The NFL team announced Thursday that 50,000 nonclub season seats will cost $59 to $129 a game, up an average of 6.7 percent from ticket prices at Texas Stadium.The prices are considerably less expensive than the 15,000 club seats that went on sale in November, which cost $340 a game and come with personal seat licenses ranging from $16,000 to $150,000.Critics had said that the club seats at its $1.1 billion stadium in Arlington were too expensive for the average fan; the team says the new prices put season tickets within reach of many."We feel we've put together a pricing model that will be very well-received by our current customer," said Chad Estis, vice president of sales and marketing.Season-ticket holder Roger DeFrang of Arlington agrees."I think [owner] Jerry Jones has made some adjustments with the economy the way it is," he said "The earlier prices quite frankly were scary."About 10,000 seats are available for season tickets at the $59 price a game and have no personal seat licenses, but they are more than 200 feet above the field. If a family of four wanted to buy season tickets in the least-expensive area, they would pay $2,360 a year for eight regular-season and two preseason games.The rest of the seats have personal seat licenses, which give license holders the right to buy season tickets in those seats for the next 30 years but do not include the tickets' cost. The licenses cost $2,000 to $5,000, with ticket prices ranging from $79 to $125 a game.Ticket prices at Texas Stadium range from $50 to $129. The average reserved ticket price, not including suites or club seats, is $84.54 for Texas Stadium compared with the new stadium's average reserved ticket price of $90.19. The new stadium is set to open in 2009.How to get ticketsLetters will go out next week to season-ticket holders explaining pricing and payment options. A few days later an e-mail will be sent that will link the ticket holder to a Web site showing his or her exact seats in the new stadium and offering the option to buy them.In a deal similar to that offered to buyers of club seats, the Cowboys will let ticket holders finance the personal seat license over 30 years at 8 percent interest. For the seats without the licenses, ticket holders must make a $200 deposit.Season-ticket holders have until July 11 to decide whether they want to buy comparable seats in the new stadium, Estis said. Then the team will fill requests by season-ticket holders who have asked to upgrade or change seats.After that, the team will begin selling seats to people who have paid a nonrefundable $100 deposit to be on a waiting list that started in December. The Cowboys said that the waiting list represented demand for 10,000 seats.Estis said there is no guarantee that those on the waiting list will have the opportunity to buy season tickets.He said it is likely that a few thousand seats will be available to those on the list.Premium seatingThe team also announced a new "loge" premium-seating program that includes the first six rows of the upper level between the goal lines. These 1,200 seats will carry a personal seat license of $12,000, with season-ticket prices costing $125 a game.The seats will have cushy club-style seats and an option to purchase parking near the stadium but will not have access to clubs available to club- and suite-ticket holders.
