Well, I got my three tickets to the Ravens game. Paid more than they're worth in all likelihood (with all taxes and fees, it's  $255 a piece), but I've never been to a game, it's the Steelers, and it's on midfield. 

Figured it was worth it to celebrate two years with my girlfriend.

Steelers games are always "premium" prices.

I didn't actually find the price that absurd. My friend once tried to sell me his PSL tickets for $150 a piece in a similar seating area, so only $50 more for Steelers tickets for my first game (before fees) is alright with me.

As a season ticket holder who often flips tickets for profit, you will probably never hear me complain about ticket pricing.

$250 for midfield seats against the Steelers is reasonable. I thought perhaps given the generally "average" production from the team overall in the last three years that it may drive prices down a bit, but those type of seats are generally going to go for 2.5-3x face at least most of the time.

I think when I was looking on the Ravens website that they were anywhere from $140-$180, so paying $60 more isn't too bad.

Yeah waiting longer is a risk. In theory, if we suck or they suck, they may decrease.

If we are both good and you wait until October to try to get seats, they will increase significantly.

Ditto on the Skins game. 

Sunday Night, December 7th, 2008. Redskins at Ravens.

The most miserably cold, miserable weather game I've ever been to. I've been to rain games, I've been to snow games (Ravens vs Vikings in 2013). This game was the worst for me.

Pretty sure it is the coldest home game in M&T history.

I planned on getting them as soon as they became available. The experience is worth the price to me.

I quickly googled it but couldn't find verification. I want to say the temperature was in the low-to-mid 20s, but I specifically recall the wind chill being unbearable. I was about 3 rows from the top of the upper deck, and I remember the wind was brutal.

Edit: 

Did find this:

http://www.profootballarchives.com/weather/2008nfl207.html

Game time temp was 25 degrees, with a Windchill of 15 degree. Temp didn't change much but the Windchill was down to 10 degrees by the end of the game. Had some pretty steady 15-20mph wind gusts throughout the game.

I found the Vikings/Ravens snow game from 2013 had a game closing temp of 28 degrees with a 19 degree windchill.

Actually went to the same game last season for my first game at M&T Bank. I paid about the same to sit near the 50 and it was definitely worth the price especially since we won.

[Steve0x]

First two preseason games and the next two regular season games because i gotta go back down south for the winter.

[sibelius]

Not planning on any per se but will probably end up at a couple. Definitely going to @Giant and @Jets. Live in NY, girl is a Giants fan and likes to gamble haha, and tons of friends with season tickets I can nab for Jets. 

[LosT_in_TranSlatioN]

None, but if we make the playoffs and so does Denver guess where I'll be :). I'm moving to Colorado next month and will be surrounded by Elway's crappy steakhouses 

[Militant X 1]

Got my tickets in for the Raiders game!

Going to the Steelers game as well and I might head down to Texas vs Dallas.

Go Ravens!!

[Nightman]

Found out I have a $30 credit on the Gametime app, so I might go to another one.

[BOLDnPurPnBlacK]

I'm going to the Raiders and Eagles games. want to try and get tix for Cinci too.

Raiders, well because theyre an up and coming team which should be a really good game. Always try to get to games where i can see an elite or transcendent type player - so Mack is on that list for me. Plus, the raiders are just one of those teams. Typically travel well, and its fun to hate them. 

And the Eagles game bc i now live in the Philly area amongst Eagles fans and going down with a couple of my friends from here. So if anyones going to either of those and want to meet up for a tailgate let me know. Always down for that.

[January J]

Thinking about going to the Miami game in December. Need to find 2 for me and my brother. I'd like to go to a game that most likely won't be televised and that we have a good chance of winning lol. I also love Baltimore in December.

[RavensPunkXVX]

I was trying to figure out what game I'd like to go see this year. Probably Raiders or Steelers. I'll be at the one IN Cincinnati, but one home game as well!

[ThatsMyJoeTerback]

Ravens vs Redskins

 

I always get tickets on Ticketmaster the week of, maybe the night before the game for close to $130-150 to sit somewhere close to midfield.

 

I did luck out completely when, in 2013, I got second row seats on the Ravens sideline at the 40 yard line for $120 for the home opener when we lifted our Super Bowl banner. That'll never happen again.

I'm going to my first ever NFL game (I live in California and most Bay Area sports fans are intolerable and I don't want to be physically harmed by wearing a Ravens jersey to their venue) in November for Thursday Night Football against Cleveland. My first trip to the east coast also! Couldn't be more excited. 

I saw the Ravens in San Francisco last year and everything was cool.  It's not like I was wearing a Raiders jersey.

 

I'll be going to the Skins game at home

Trying to go to the Giants game in NY and considering the Dallas Game in November as well.

Would love to go to the Steelers game as I've never seen them play the Ravens live.

I purchased tickets back in April from the NFL Ticket Exchange.  Didn't realize there was another date to purchase tickets on the exchange.

lol, still talking food, huh.  Thanks for all the suggestions in Maui, they were awesome.  If anyone is going to Maui, message @LosT_in_TranSlatioN because he knows a lot of places and they were great suggestions.
