The San Francisco 49ers aren’t projected to be a very good team this year. The worst in fact. Apparently their fans are aware of this too.
The Niners will kick off their season on Monday Night Football tonight in Santa Clara against the Los Angeles Rams, who are playing their first game as the ‘LA’ Rams in decades.
Let’s just say, the game isn’t quite drawing in the expected crowds. As a result of dropping ticket prices, the parking pass to be able to park for the game costs more than the actual ticket to get in the game itself.
Per NBC Bay Area from October of 2015:
“I’ll be lucky if I can get face value,” Christina Hosseini, a season ticket holder, said. The tickets retail for about $150, but in previous years they have been known to go for much higher rates.
Bruce Ventura, another season ticket holder, says he used to be able to sell tickets for around $400 each.”
It’s gotten so bad that a parking pass is more expensive than a game ticket for Monday night’s season opener against the Los Angeles Rams:
