Citizens bank is also $15, i think that's the norm for any stadium in philly


SquattingDog99

Wells Fargo center is around $15 but for a 24oz beer. Not too terrible for basically two beers in a stadium


smbutler20

That's 1.5 beers if compared to a 16 oz pint. $10 beer is still not absolutely horrendous. They also have juice for which is 9.5% ABV. One of those and you will be feeling real good.


PaperHandsfornow

They are 24 oz at the linc and cbp too. I haven't seen a 16 oz beer in 5 years at any of the 3 stadiums/arena.

triecke14

I mean it says right in the title it’s for a 16 oz beer


Kitten-Mittons

did you read anything about this post?


jokersflame

I wonder if it’s pure greed from the stadiums (which you can never discount!) or if it’s to stop Philly fans from getting drunk. Either way we pregame though!


Professor_Finn

Ah, the Boston strategy. Make happy hours illegal to curb alcoholism, but all you’ve done is make alcoholics spend even more money on alcohol


salamanderXIII

I would be curious to see the same pricing data for the days in which veterans stadium cheap seats were compared to Circus Maximus.


gonemad16

yup its 15 dollars for a 22oz(?) miller lite.. or you can pay 16 dollars and get a 22oz bear hug (or a bunch of other strong IPAs) which is like 9.9% https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/1146/540667/


DerTagestrinker

My brother and I split a bottle of whiskey before walking in. Then still spend like $100 on beer


LavenderGumes

That is an aggressive amount of alcohol to consume for watching a game. I don't think I'd even remember most of it.


bravof1ve

I don’t think some people even like sports that go to these games. They just like an excuse to get completely shitfaced.


JopoDaily

For all that just watch on the couch imo


BlackMathNerd

Last Eagles game in Philly I went to dude snuck in a flask and also a bunch of tiny spirit bottles


dbrank

During the colder months, my stepdad would wear a jersey 2 sizes too big, along with winter layers so he could conceal one of those Camelbak hydration backpack things for hiking with the drinking tube for easy access. Except it was filled with vodka and he’d give shots out to everyone he knew in his section lmao


Express_Jellyfish_28

You may have a drinking problem


I-take-beast-shits

Pretty sure this photo is kinda BS since it’s taking an average. Your light beers (miller & bud) can all be bought for around 9.50 or so and are available everywhere. The linc also has some sections with a fuckload of craft beer at $15-18ish per beer, def inflated but still the beers are pushing 8.5% and are delicious as fuck You ain’t getting craft beer at Jerry’s world, it’s straight corporate light beer piss.


Jethro_Cull

$16 for a 12oz Stateside that goes for $2/can at the FWGS. Ridiculous.


jcutta

I spent $120 on 2 cheesesteaks, 2 chicken fingers and fries, 3 sodas and 1 water at CBP last week. The aramark protesters outside are totally right, shits insane.


Im_an_Owl

Those are workers on strike against Aramark - if you see them at a game again please don’t patronize the concessions. Go to Xfinity live and drink there instead!


CanyonHopper123

T-Mobile (Mariners satidum) has 12 OZ value beer cans for $5/6 domestic/premium. It’s pretty wild, to see them selling $16 beers a cart over from a $6 beer and people evenly going to both


FullMetalKaiju

Was at the Wells Fargo arena for a Tyler, The Creator Concert. We got in early bc of "vip" tickets. Went to get something to eat from a quick snack stand near the merch booth. Absurd prices for less than average food.


InvectiveOfASkeptic

This is why I never enter the Linc with the ability to convert short term memory into long term memory and also with 4 beers and 6 shooters stored in various parts of my clothes


jokersflame

“Six shooters” you sound like you’re walking in like Yosemite Sam haha


Groovicity

BACK OFF!

bedhead215

Do the scanners not pick up cans? Lmao why have I not been doing this


I_like_dwagons

Jokes on them. We’re already drunk before we get in the stadium. This is just supply and demand in effect.


[deleted]

MCXI

Small price to pay to keep the buzz till your drunk ass realizes it's gone and it's only been 10 minutes into the game Edit: I meant the beer is gone not the buzz, that'll linger for a bit


AccidentalPilates

I didn't hear no bell.


Orange_Tatorade

Bastards get me every time.


dumb_commenter

Don’t think that’s really how supply/demand pricing works, but hey I’m drunk so who knows.


RepublicInner7438

Let’s say that everyone in a given stadium wants to be drunk while watching the game. If you’re in a stadium with a weaker drinking culture than Philly, the fans show up sober and have to by all their beer in the stadium, increasing demand. But in Philly, most fans are hammered the moment the set foot in the linc, meaning they don’t need to buy as many beers as they otherwise would, reducing demand. As demand falls, vendors raise their prices to compensate for a loss of individual sales.


dumb_commenter

Classic supply demand curve says that, all else equal, as demand falls prices fall.


dbrank

Shoutout to Jetro, gotta be my favorite place where I can drink 17 beers before the Birds play and watch people hit the nitrous balloons as pre-game entertainment


TheBaconThief

You're welcome, now help me back up.


PhillyPhan95

No. This isn’t supply and demand. Philly owners just know people love the teams and they’ll pay it as long as the team is good. It’s greed.


Bergerking21

You are describing demand lol


PhillyPhan95

There’s no supply issue though. Prices are that high because owners are greedy.


albert_the_unicorn

the owners can be greedy but the other comment is still right that the economic concept of supply and demand applies.


foogeeman

But they have a monopoly on beer within the stadium so it's not a standard supply demand curve. They restrict output and charge more than would be observed with competition. I think differences across stadiums would be due to differences in demand and perhaps differences in state local alcohol policies


fakehalo

In there it's a commodity like oil and the stadium is OPEC, but supply and demand is still part of the equation.


foogeeman

Yes but unlike competitive markets price and quantity aren't determined by the intersection of supply and demand. Quantity is determined by the intersection of marginal cost and marginal revenue and price by the higher point where that quantity intersects the demand curve Edit: words


Lazaraaus

It warms my heart to see someone actually use these terms correctly and incorporate concepts past the 1st day of Econ 101. It absolutely kills me when dumbasses simply say, “muh sUpPlY aNd DeMaNd”. Take some actual fucking Econ courses people. There’s so much more to it than “supply and demand”. Source: Econ + CS double major (BA + MS)


foogeeman

I totally agree. This world is being ruined by people who attended one day of Econ 101 and thought they understand all of economics. I got into the subject at Temple U and it really fit me, Econ + math double major. I'm always glad to see someone else out there who knows what they're talking about. Keep fighting the good fight.


PhillyPhan95

I mean, maybe technically? Philly people are just more willing to pay it. Idk if the demand for beer is higher in Philly than other places like Atlanta. If you consider willingness to pay, demand, then sure. But concession lines aren’t any longer in philly. attendance isn’t necessarily higher in philly. Those are true demands that would justify what you’re saying.


Longjumping-Bison-85

Yes, willingness to pay is demand. They are the same thing


foogeeman

If you wanna get real pedantic demand is willingness _and_ ability to pay


PhillyPhan95

But even then, Atlanta is willing to pay more. So is Detroit. Their owners just aren’t being as greedy in beer sales. Hawks and Braves both charge 200% more than the falcons and they’re doing just fine. It is what it is bro. Philly owners are taking advantage (in every sense of the word)


foogeeman

Do you seriously think concession sales in other stadiums aren't motivated by greed? Or that any sales anywhere aren't? Self interest is the bedrock of capitalism, which is both why it works and why it slowly destroys itself and the world in the absence of government intervention


PhillyPhan95

Greed is excessive though. Just went to games in Dc and Baltimore this past weekend. Philly is routinely at the top of the price charts across all sports in concessions.


bigkutta

Jokes on you too. Its amazing that people will drop $250 on a seat and then be passed out during the game. I am always amazed by that. I dont pay for more than 1 beer, if that. I'm here to enjoy the 1-2 games that I get to watch live, and dont see the point in being drunk for them.


Suitable-Internal-12

The point is that being drunk rules


bigkutta

You’re preaching to the choir buddy. But passed out drunk for an expensive game is nothing but stupid.


sybrwookie

Jokes on them, I'm sneaking beer in, in my belly


Justiceleague814

If the demand was low then the prices would be low....


Shaggadelic12

I read this as “sloppy on demand” and I like it better.


ltzany

stop readying my diary. one thing i am curious of is for folks to figure out like "what's your favorite beer to drink at the stadium?" and what is the average cost of that beer. then look at the stats.


dropd00

Damn I think they still won my credit is now maxed out 😂


zavoid

I went to an Eagles game in Atlanta a few years ago. It was refreshing how affordable the concessions were and the sofa is a self serve refill machines too.


jordan20x1

Damn they have sofas in Atlanta?


johnnylawrwb

Free refills too! Great for when you eat the cushions.


zavoid

Diet cherry leather is the best.


johnnylawrwb

I'm a navy suede guy myself.


zavoid

Yeah in multiple flavors. Definitely a first! ;) Damn typos


sybrwookie

Did you watch them draft this year? They don't just have sofas, they're the sofa kings


bagelboy565

Grew up in Atlanta and love going to the Mercedes Dome because of this. They have a ton of local restaurants in there instead of the same old shitty stadium food. Always affordable and everyone seems to get food and drinks at the stadium instead of sneaking things in because of it. It's almost like consumers will buy your product if you don't completely rip them off!


bobbyvee26

The owner intentionally lowered prices as part of a give back to fans a few years back I believe. The idea is folks will buy more if it’s cheaper and not need to get hammered in the parking lot before


mmuoio

This sounds amazing. I haven't been to an Eagles game in a while but the last couple Flyers games I attended, just bare minimum snacks and beverages for my family of 4 usually gets to around $100 which is just insane considering it's just mass produced Aramark chicken fingers and fries.


CaesarZeppeli_

They want people there sober enough not to do anything crazy


root88

This only encourages people to get as drunk as possible before the game so they can have a buzz the whole way through it without wasting a ton of money. Source: have done it and look at the other comments in here.


InfieldFlyRules

Yeah, if the beers were cheaper, I’m sure nobody would drink in the parking lot


Birdgang_naj

Man I really wish our game was in Atlanta, state of the art stadium with the absolute best concession prices in the league and their tickets are reasonable. Edit: charging more than LA is absurd IMO, but we buy it anyway


jokersflame

I walked past the Atlanta stadium once and was pretty impressed from the outside.


Birdgang_naj

It's like a monolith just in the middle of town, traffic be damned.


BlackMathNerd

And lord do that traffic be damning


rat-again

That's completely on the owner. He wanted low concession prices. If you go to State Farm arena next door, the prices are closer to the average. Of course I've only been for concerts so maybe that's why they're higher.


oliveinanolive

Difference is no one in LA goes to football games lol


Scared-Bluebird9781

Yeah Arthur Blank had the right idea.


FRED44444

Massive L.


Agitateduser1360

Our tax dollars pay for the stadium so benevolent angel, jeff lurie can extract every greenback possible out of our pockets. Mark my words - it won't be too long before he holds the city hostage again to get a new stadium.


beaver_of_fire

And even if you aren't going to games he gets tax dollars yearly ripping off Temple to play in the city funded stadium.


Shoobiedoobiedood

I can tell you Cincy is not 6.59 without a doubt it's not that low at all


Brad_theImpaler

I've seen loads of people calling this bullshit everywhere it was posted.


ClassyJo17

Same for Detroit


rckore

Exactly. My last Bengals game was 2 years ago but I know it was double digits.


Shoobiedoobiedood

Yea I live right by it you hear about the price every Sunday if you walking down town or even at the crib someone always says something like "we drinking for free here" esp when they were shitty B4 burrow


dbe7

If you don’t like beer, don’t worry water is $8.


BounceMan69

We’re already drunk before the game that’s probably why


CrunchyKorm

So are Bills fans but their beers cost less than $9


Agitateduser1360

No it's because the lines are still full at over 16/beer.


The_Simp_Whisperer

Highway robbery.


HowdUrDego

Counterproductive move if you ask me. Higher prices to discourage over-drinking in the stadium just means we are forced to get ripped before hand to the point it lasts ALL game. And they wonder why we’re such fucking jerks as fans.


pina_koala

I live in ATL and absolutely appreciate that MBS has a fan-friendly price policy. It fucking rips. Same for Truist Park - there were 2 times in a row that I went for a 7th inning beer and the vendor straight up gave it to me for free despite wearing Philies gear. Edit: should have mentioned that tickets are more expensive in Atlanta. I got seats in the 100 level behind home plate at CBP for under 100 in May. Can't do that here.


Skee428

They do that bc they want to reduce the amount of drunk people at the games.


jaystwrkk128

This can be real I plenty of games all sports and beer is always over $15 to $18


gahlo

Not drinking does have its benefits.


tirynsn

I'm with you brother, went sober almost two months ago, weed too


gahlo

Congrats, man.


Section_80

I’ll be at the Tampa game, I’ll drink 2 beers for the price of 1 in Philly. Away games are such a better deal!


Silver_Vegetable6804

Went to Tampa last year. Be prepared to pay a hundred to park.


Section_80

I'm actually flying down, and flying back the same day for that game. I used points from my credit card for the flight.


[deleted]

Damn, Lurie


Old_Tower3808

Ridiculous. But you're stuck if you want a beer 🍺


animesekaielric

I thought a 24oz of domestic was $25 at the Linc?


DamnMyNameIsSteve

Accidentally walked in to a 6ers game with a pre-game water bottle of vodka. No one said anything. Cheapest night ever.


Boba_Phett14

Just drink a 24 pack of yeungling in the parking lot before the game like a normal person


Shad0whawk3

No way Houston beers are that cheap man, been there quite a few times in recent memory and I swear they were in the $11 range


Wasted_Bananana

This isn’t right at all. I went to Eagles at KC last season and each beer was $20.


Alert-Researcher-479

That's why we drink for 10 hours before. 🍻🦅🏈


Sallydog24

All I know if went to a Phillies game a few weeks back and bought a few beers. There was a guy filming for the broadcast and he told me if I bought a Yuengling I would get on tv. So I was well worth the $15 ....


jokersflame

Damn! Jealous. That’s a good deal.


FahQPutin

That's why you sneak all the boos you need in your stomach before entering... Duh 🙄


flyeaglesfly52x

Thats why you wear timbs with some titos shooters in the sides


Reynolds_Live

Heard this on the radio today in the city I live in. They had callers call in and one lady, when asked why she guessed Philly, said, "idk, do they even have good beer in Philly?" I need to move.


pgm123

These things are often quite poorly sourced. I'm skeptical Detroit is so cheap.


Palonis

I wonder how much is from corporate greed and how much of that is just crowd control. If beers were $6.25 we'd be fighting the whole time no?


jokersflame

I’m thinking the same thing. But then you have to consider— does this encourage pregaming? Do people get more drunk outside so they can coast a bit in the stadium? Maybe that behavior would be decreased if the beers were a bit more reasonable. Who knows! Social scientists need to get on this.


EmperorOfNada

Another Philly first!


Lynthae

Why, eagles? Why?


Panda_tears

You should add in the price for playoff games too, bet it’s more


FaceMaulingChimp

That’s why we pre-game!


TransportationOne792

Where are these $6.59 beers at Paycor stadium? (Bengals) I have season tickets and it’s always $9.25


patgraham42

This seems wrong. The Linc sells 24oz beers and I don’t think I pay over 20 per beer, but I don’t usually remember lol.


pretentiousmusician

Detroit charging less for beer than the Wilmington blue rocks


roadblok95

The reason why a beer at the linc is $14.67 is because people pay it. Stop buying them for that price and the cost will come down.


SpecialistFee875

It would be very dangerous for opposing fans to have our beers be $6.25


Background_Web_2307

I went to the Upper Deck golf thing last week. I bought two beers for me and my brother and it was $35.50


GaviFromThePod

Yeah the crazy beer prices are more for public safety than making money. Can you imagine if the linc had $6.25 beer? Brian Johnson would not have made it out alive.


BasilRare6044

If the beer was $5, the tail gate would be mostly food. Just kidding! 🍻🍺


ScrubySpidey

Jerry world is definitely more than 9 lol.


JW9thWonder

as a canadian... a beer in philly would cost me $20.. thats fucking absurd.


dtisme53

That’s too much for a beer. Having said that, I remember the vet and that beer wasn’t crazy expensive. Actually pretty reasonable. I also remember the drunks passed out in the bathrooms and the fights. Oh god the fights. The courthouse in the basement is a mild amusement now but the fact that they had to have it is a little cringeworthy to say the least.


Some-Investigator147

My husband is from Philly and now lives in the KC area with me and always talks about “dollar dogs”. Seems to be made up for in beer prices haha


jokersflame

Dollar dog nights! Those are rarer and rarer around here.


HaggardSlacks78

This list is bogus. I went to the Birds in Tampa last year and Bud Lights were like $20


jokersflame

What size? 24oz?


acarmichaelhgtv

Can't they just add some fentanyl to the beer to make it cheaper?


A-N-R

I go to a couple titans games a yr. Wish I could get one for "only" $10.

Btw just don’t ever go to Jacksonville. I mean, unless crack and mu*rder are your thing. Then you’ll definitely wanna stop by.


Expert-Yellow1753

I paid an arm and a leg for a cold cheesesteak with the cheese not even melted at the linc. At this point, factoring in ticket fees, parking, food/drinks I’d rather throw a watch party at my place.

ButterflySpecial6324

Sheesh


NotYourTypicalNurse

I need to go to Atlanta games


MotivationalMike

Can we get one of these for ticket prices too so we can show everyone way people in the arena seem so annoyed. I’m not surprised to see a beer is twice as much as it is at a bangles game but I’m still not happy about it.
