Are they worth the money? Just got the email after requesting them last year that my number is up.

If I decide to not go to any games, what is the return on investment for selling them?

I gave mine up this year. Couldn't even find anyone to split them with me face value. I'd imagine a bunch of other are doing the same.

Get them if you can afford it without feeling the impact. When we're good you'll be able to make money. Right now? no way.

Just turn them down. We’ll probably suck this year

Just my opinion. 15 years ago I would wake up hyped up because it was game day and I was going to the Dome. Now it is a chore. I don’t know if I’ll keep my tickets past this year. Trying to see if the renovations help but the concourses are too tight. The bathrooms suck. The concessions suck. I may have my car’s window bashed in when I return, and the on field product is poor.
I was a fan prior to Brees/Payton and saw a lot of crap games in the Dome. But the older I get I am less tolerant of the bullshite. I’d rather sit at home and watch the game on my big screen with my car secure in a Parish that actually enforces laws.

Dennis Allen is head coach.

Derek Carr is quarterback.

The city of New Orleans is a festering cesspool.

Those 3 statements combined should answer your question.

I have two sets of really really good tickets. I sold a few last year and made money to a couple of the games. By the end of the year, the schedule sucked and the seasin wasn’t going good and I couldn’t give them away.,

It all depends on the opponent and how good the team is doing.

We’re very likely to be a team hovering around .500 one way or the other. You’re very unlikely to make money and will likely be lucky to recoup face on some weeks. If you can easily afford it go for it.

Think people are giving them up based on New Orleans being a complete shithole, I gave mine up also I’m done with that piece of shite city but I wish the saints the best but that is what happens when you go woke and let the inmates run the asylum

I don't think they are.

Just buy singles for any game you want to go to and you will come out on top.

There is no real investment to be had like there used to be.

If you find joy in going and have the income, then buy them. Keep in mind there are a slew of noon games this year. Noon games suck and I’m just a short street car ride from the dome.

Also consider there was a waitlist that didn’t budge for almost 15yrs. Now you are getting a call after just 1. There is no real demand any more

Honestly, in south LA w insurance rates going through the roof, a lot of financial priority decisions will be looming for a lot of middle class folks.

Correct.

Everything about the Saints organization right now is just about as ho-hum as it can be. Bad coach, average-at-best QB, aging defense. Gameday experience has cratered - there's not the buzz of having an all-timer at QB. And there's a 25% chance you go to your parking lot after the game and find you and 20 other driver's side windows busted out.

It's just meh all around.
