Even if you boycott, the high-run businessmen will be there to buy tickets. Look what happens at the Super Bowl. A layman never watches the Lombardi Trophy game at the stadium.
Personally, it makes me sick, but that's the current situation.

You're absolutely right but some people would pay twice that amount if they had to. I went to a game last year and had to pay $3.00 for a slightly cool Pepsi. But as long as people are willing to hand over the cash, the NFL will keep charging these ridiculous prices. Actually I prefer watching the games on TV. You can go to the bathroom during commercials and don't have to stand in line for twenty minutes to go pee. You don't have to smell beer breath and hear some drunk bark like a seal because he has been screaming and is hoarse. I don't have to walk a half mile or more to get from a place that I have to pay to park to the stadium. I don't have to go through metal detectors. My recliner is so much more comfortable than stadium seats. I could go on and on.

it's whatever the market will bear. Folks are filling up the stadium, even at $100+ / ticket. So of course they're not going to drop the prices.
Consider that a lot of those players will have to retire, due to injuries, prior to their 30th birthday, some with permanent injuries. Then it doesn't seem quite so high.

The real problem is with all the scalpers/ticket brokers who gobble up all the tickets and if the average Joe wants to go to a game, he has to pay those low lifes an absurd amount of money.

Yeah it is way too expensive but it would be something way too hard to organize. I mean each week in the NFL millions of fans go into the stadiums. It would be kind of hard to tell them all not to go to the game.

i cant afford to go to a game so its good enough for me to sit in my own home and watch it which ends up saving a good bit of money bc i can buy a 64 cent 2 liter drink and be just fine.
