Prices went up when players wanted higher salaries. There was no great increase when players salaries were controlled.
You ignorance of very basic economic concepts for a self-proclaimed conservative is appalling. Jesus wept.
I am pointing out very basic concepts. We all pay for the salaries. As the salaries went up so did ticket prices. Sports changed from a family pastime to a luxury.

And if we had to double our rates to pay all our employees more money we would go out of business.

The NFL is the same, except for competition!

If they don't get this figured out soon, I'm going to make every QB in the league's throwing hand look like this....


And I like the players.  Imagine what would happen to the owners....

Here's a basic concept, how much of the nfl revenue comes from tickets? Do the math.

Here's a more basic concept. If NFL football was played in empty stadiums, how sharply would the TV ratings fall off?

Are you a free-market conservative or a babbling idiot? You claim to be one and sound like the other.

And it is kind of funny, in a surreal sort of way. I've been on these boards for four or so years and I still can't decide if your handle is actually a very clever parody of a Dittohead or whatever Rush's followers call themselves these days. Because it is still hard to me to believe a voting-age adult in the United States could be as completely and consistently clueless as you are on any one of a number of subjects. And be utterly shameless about parading your ignorance, too.

if they removed the blackout policy, probably a negligible amount, if any.  tv ratings may even increase.  if the stadium was empty because the tickets were priced out of most people's range, that would mean more people were watching on TV and then advertisers would fall over themselves trying to throw money at the league to have commercials.  if the stadium were empty because people stopped caring, well...thats not going to happen.

with the blackout policy in place as it is now, the game wouldnt even be on tv, there would be some replacement programming in the home area.

I want free market. None of the sports leagues are free market. They are monpolys. And like all forces opposed to free markets they work poorly.

People like you who need to run a little commercial knocking me crack me up! To hear all of you I am the greatest threat to free speech ever. In reality I am the loyal opposition. I present a different way of looking at common water cooler issues.

Meanwhile, you can endorse the Talk-Just-Like-Yoda Home Study course you're evidently taking.

I don't think you are a threat to free speech; I do think you are an idiot. I made that pretty clear but, no, it's not surprising that you failed to grasp that. I also see you've conflated the concept of "loyal opposition" with "court jester" as well. One advances plausible policy alternatives to the government of the day. The other doesn't.
