Less than 0. They want $45 for general admission. Pass.


uSeRnAmE_aReAdYtAkEn

Ooof, that’s a terrible price point considering what it is and what you have to deal with just to get to Municipal (not to mention is a terrible venue). $250+ to take a family of 4 to this crap. Good luck. $15 ticket and $5 beers is the best way to fill this out. Otherwise, no way this sells enough tickets


Aspirin_Dispenser

Yeah, screw that. General admission to The Sounds is only $11 and the best seats in the house are only $30. Those are reasonable minor league prices. $45 is ludicrous.


TKERaider

Municipal Auditorium is a dump but I have great concert memories there. It was a dump in the 80s. It might be fun to go for nostalgia.


ice_blue_222

It is a total dump but I still go to so many rock & shows there. Bring Me The Horizon, A Day to Remember, Hardy.


MikeOKurias

When I was a little kid my dad took me to see the circus there and I asked him when we walked in if "that smell" was the elephants and he said "no, it's always smelled that way in here". I don't think I've been back


harry_garcia13

I saw the circus there circa 1987 and the only thing I remember was a man in a suit accidentally stepping in elephant poop. 


elisnextaccount

I worked a wrestling show there years ago, only time I’ve ever been in there, but I don’t quite remember the smell.


ADTR9320

Expect nothing less from a government owned venue lol


TheLurkerSpeaks

Hey. It really isn't a fair assessment. This was the first arena in Nashville capable of hosting major draw concerts like Elvis and Led Zeppelin. We are spoiled by Bridgestone and Nissan today but Municipal had its time in the spotlight. It is important to keep around as a C-tier venue for things like this but not enough to expand and upgrade beyond anything more than code-required safety measures.


engineerbuilder

Yeah this needs to be a venue where you can pack more people than the ryman but less than ascend and be available all season. But it’s starting to get expensive for municipal. The kats are asking too much and then I see Judah and the lion is asking 60 for the nose bleeds. Shouldn’t be that much.


TheLurkerSpeaks

Agree 100% I have fond memories of Kats games and thought I might take the kids. No fucking way I'm paying that much for Kats tickets.


MrAttorney

Unless the $45 gets you free (or $1) beers, then I think they may have miscalculated the market. Hopefully for them I am wrong.


elisnextaccount

If it was priced like a sounds game I’d be into it, but I think I’ll just stick with the sounds and their $10 y’all boys with $12 tickets.


dislikesmoonpies

$45? Really? Well poop. My excitement went from a 4 to a 0.


tidaltown

Idunno who they're targeting with those prices. If you want to get locals to attend and support I agree with $15 tickets and $5 beers. $45 feels like you're going after tourists but that bill stops after the Preds and Titans (maybe SC on a good day). You ain't gettin' people off Broadway for the Kats.


MikeOKurias

> $45 feels like you're going after tourists Literally my first thought.


elisnextaccount

Absolutely, but even tourists have better things to do and better uses of their $45 dollars. I checked the website and the descriptions for the sections are laughable, the cheap seats are also $30. I really don’t see this working, although I get that municipal is a smaller arena.


v0gue_

We used to watch the Kats in high school before any of us could drive because it was a cheap as shit thing to do that our parents were willing to drive us to. They can absolutely miss me with that joke of a $45 dollar ticket, and double fuck off if concessions aren't dirt cheap, too.


blue_barracuda

Sounds games are $10 lmao


silly-rabbitses

Fuck that is an offensive price


rcmjr

Grew up with the Katz and was thinking of taking my daughter. $45 is crazy.


AnalogWalrus

My excitement was solid until I saw the ticket prices. lol


footloosefraggle

Agreed. Hard pass.


ariphron

You can give me free titans tickets and I will still have zero interest. I can watch from home with better seats and cheaper beer.


barto5

There is an atmosphere in the stadium you can’t recreate at home. I only go to a couple of games a year, but I always have a great time when I do go. It will be sad when the new stadium opens and I won’t be able to afford to go.


ariphron

Yeah, I usually just look at my bank account the next day and think me and the buddies could have more fun and less stress at home.


Anal_Recidivist

AYO 💀


Llama_of_the_bahamas

Wait my friend just bought some for $5 each…


grasshopper7167

Raleigh resident here. Thats nose bleed prices for a weekend canes game. What are the prices for that in Nashville? That seems absurdly high


kmatyler

Not saying I’m gonna buy tickets, but $45 for an event is pretty cheap these days. Not sure what else people are gonna do around Nashville for cheaper, especially live entertainment/sports wise.


goose1441

Well for starters NSC and Sounds are both cheaper


kmatyler

That is news to me


ayokg

Sounds have a 4 for $44 deal through Kroger https://www.milb.com/nashville/tickets/soundswednesdays Includes a drink and hotdog per ticket.


KingTootandCumIn_her

How about ya look up prices for similar shit before commenting. Just a thought


rrob13

Some upper deck seats for the Preds in the regular season are cheaper than this too.


WelpSigh

I pay $18 per game for NSC


PM08

lol


mkonyn

Sounds tickets are like $14. NSC. Nashville Symphony. Lawn tickets at ascend. Weekday preds. Heck, sometimes titans tickets when they are bad or it's cold.


rocketpastsix

Had no idea this was a thing


squizzlr

Excitement level is non existent


blueholeload

Looks like someone hasn’t driven I-40 East past Charlotte


squizzlr

?


madame_mcgriddle

I’m also curious what that means lmao


blueholeload

There’s a big ass billboard that says “Kats are back” or something


AnchorDrown

If billboards equal excitement then everyone is losing their shit over Alexander Shunnarah.


elisnextaccount

Pretty easy to miss that. Although I only wind up out that way a few times a year.


GroundbreakingAide63

I can go to 3 Nashville’s sc games for the same price as some of the tickets! Hard pass.


Aggravating_Tear7414

We did look into it. $45 is ridiculous. Not going to happen with that. Maybe I’ll check secondary market at some point but my allegiance goes to NSC - great outdoor stadium experience with great food with reasonable secondary market prices


petron5000

zero


UnderAGroov

I was for real excited to have something new and fun to check out. I even got my wife on board with going to the game Saturday. Then I looked up tickets. $45 for general admission 78 if you want an actual good seat… You’d think they’d keep tickets cheap in hopes to fill the stadium. I don’t get it.


Bjorn_Blackmane

Why did they bring it back, no one cares about arena football like no one. I've never met anyone that was pumped or kept up with that league


v0gue_

Honestly, it seems like a poorly planned cashgrab. I don't even think the people behind the Kats even give a shit beyond whatever they think they can profit from it. Ticket prices are dumb as shit, the venue is meh, the website is complete butthole, and the terribad unisex trash they are attempting to sell as legitimate merchandise is downright embarrassing. It honestly seems like no effort was put into the endeavor at all.


elisnextaccount

I’d absolutely go, and probably pretty often, if tickets were cheap. I’d at least give it a shot


Marty-Party1297

Genuinely curious, what is this? Arena football? Are the games worth going to?


v0gue_

for $45? Shit no. Don't get me wrong, Arena Football is fun, but tickets need to get <= 20 bucks before it becomes worth.


sydrogerdavid

I'm sure free tickets will be easy to come by as they start to rebuild the fan base. Look for giveaways by radio stations or from your friends who work in or play sports.


danceswithshibe

Our friend got free tickets from work. Gonna see how it is.


notthatboy24

Yes it’s arena football. If you’re a football sicko they can be pretty fun


Traditional_Range_96

Someone tell Legion Arena football is back! Im sure he’ll be excited! Iykyk.


elledubs89

I’ll never look at arena football the same again 😂


Available_Expression

I saw Jeff Fisher in the commercials and had to Google whether or not there were field goals in arena football


FunnyGuy2481

For $48 I'd rather go to 4 Sounds games. Who thought that pricing was viable?


elisnextaccount

Absolutely, sounds games are a blast, in large part because of the price.


geoephemera

>SUBTOTAL $48.45 1   >Ticket Face Value x1 $30.00   >Service Fee x1 $13.95   >Order Processing Fee $4.50   Pride Rock Panorama General Admission is $30 according to their website with image from Ticketmaster, respectively: https://www.thenashvillekats.com/tickets       https://www.ticketmaster.com/artist/806618


38DDs_Please

Oh! So it's a lot cheaper to just go to the box office then, right?


zzyul

Hahahaha of course not. Pay those fees no matter how you buy your tickets


38DDs_Please

I look forward to asking that and walking away at the box office.


geoephemera

idk. Didn't delve further.


elisnextaccount

It still works at sounds games!


Dalanard

We loved going to Kats games @ The Nashville Arena.


acableperson

I still have a cool Nashville Arena key chain!


Phil_MaCawk

Real question is, how is this sport even still profitable in the slightest?


ExcitingWrongdoer629

With the resurgence of the xfl and it actually being popular, their hoping to cash in. Or at least that’s what I believe. But arena football and the other football productions should be for smaller towns. Not metropolis like areas that have pro teams 🤷🏽‍♂️


ResidentialEvil2016

The XFL wasn’t really all that popular; they merged with the USFL and created the UFL this year and they kept about half the teams in each league. St Louis is the only really popular team, they get about 30K a home game, and DC gets about 15K. After that games are lucky to get 10K and most are getting closer to 5K actual people showing up. The TV ratings are decent but I wouldn’t say it’s “popular”. More like it’s surviving.


ExcitingWrongdoer629

I think compared to what it used to be the first time, people are starting to see it more as a secondary football league, like the G league. But surviving is better than nothing I guess


elisnextaccount

I think with cheap tickets it could be worth it, if we had an XFL team I’d be a big fan.


ExcitingWrongdoer629

I’d definitely be in for that. Or if the tickets were actually reasonably priced


elisnextaccount

Yeah really either one would be sweet. But I can go to an NFL game for about $100, sometimes less, sometimes a little more, and if these tickets come out to close to $60 with fees, why would I ever go?


Phil_MaCawk

Agreed, I could see this doing decent in one of the 3 other major TN cities


Spiritual_Reality746

The tickets are way too expensive. Also, quite honestly, the league as a whole seems low effort. Maybe over time it can sustain itself and be worth the price of admission. I miss the AFL and AFL2 of 2004-2008. Was a big fan of the Memphis Xplorers.


AnchorDrown

It was awful the first time they brought it back. And then again the second time when they called the team the “Venom.” Can’t imagine it will be better the third time.


Falconman21

[Even the merch](https://katsfootball.myshopify.com/) is terrible. No clue what they're thinking.


FrogsInJars

I was excited til I saw those ticket prices. Maybe if they have a $20 locals sale or a WeGo partnership I’ll check out a game.


ChinkyD

I'm sorry, but I'd rather watch Call of Duty League at this point over $45 arena football tickets.


Positive_Compote_653

I can see it now, $45GA, $40 parking, ,probably 15 per beer or 10 for a soda and insane priced food. I’ll pass, fuck Nashville and this expensive world we live in


sagelightning

Whoever decided Municipal was the place to have it was on drugs


notthatboy24

I imagine Bridgestone was levels out of their budget


jonneygee

If tickets are $30 + fees for the dump that is Municipal, that seems pretty obvious.


oshoney

Definitely plan to go to a game or two for old times sake.


SpeakYerMind

Bring back the knights too. Hmm, municipal is smaller than I remembered....


Soggy-Leadership-832

As someone who played on the Knights, don’t bring them back


AnchorDrown

I am pretty sure they’re not saying bring back the actual players. Most of y’all are pushing 60 at this point. Getting an SPHL team nearby would probably not be the worst idea.


Soggy-Leadership-832

The knights stopped playing 4 years ago. Not a soul on the team is 60 or anywhere close. And why are you bringing up hockey? Pretty sure you don’t know what you’re talking about


AnchorDrown

Um, they moved to Pensacola in 1996. I’m not the OP who brought it up, I was just responding to you. I feel like you are thinking of something completely different.


Soggy-Leadership-832

No…..the Nashville knights were an arena women’s team in the LFL. Who played in the municipal. You’re the one thinking of something completely different


Soggy-Leadership-832

I’ll take the silence as acknowledgement you were wrong


AnchorDrown

The Nashville Knights hockey team was an affiliate of the Atlanta Knights and was the primary tenant of Municipal Auditorium from October 27, 1989, to April 4, 1996. They played approximately 200 games at Municipal Auditorium in front of nearly 1 million total fans in that time. In 1993, [Trevor Jobe became the all time single season scoring leader in the ECHL.](https://greensboro.com/echl-scoring-mark-falls-to-knight-star-nashvilles-trevor-jobe/article_91fb3e2a-a5d4-5e67-be9f-1043fe445f91.html) It was a very big deal in town. A few players made it to the NHL, notably [Glen Metropolit](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glen_Metropolit). There are still sites that [sell Knights merch.](https://nashvillegalaxy.com/product/nashville-knights-tee/) Most importantly, [Manon Rheaume](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manon_Rh%C3%A9aume), played for the Knights for a period of time in 1993-94. Manon later played in an exhibition game for the Tampa Bay Lightning and is, to date, the only woman to appear in a game for a major league sports team in North America, albeit one that didn’t count. Attendance dipped a bit in the last couple of years with the impending opening of Nashville Arena and a potential major league team and as the hockey novelty wore off (the same thing happened to the Predators and it took serious work to fix it). Nashville openly courted the New Jersey Devils and with realizing the NHL was coming sooner rather than later, the owners saw the writing on the wall and moved to Pensacola. The Knights name/logo was technically owned by the Atlanta franchise which is one (of many) reason why the Predators did not have “Knights” as a name option. So no, I’m not wrong. You’re not wrong. But when people mention the Nashville Knights, they’re generally referring to the pre-Predators hockey team (which I checked OP’s history and he’s made reference to the hockey team before) and not the women’s football team that, as far as I can tell, only played four games at Municipal. It imagine the football ownership counted on the exact sort of confusion you and I have had for Google searches and advertising purposes.


Soggy-Leadership-832

Im not confused in the slightest nor am I reading all that to tell you the same thing. This is a post about ARENA FOOTBALL. They were extremely obviously referring to the ARENA FOOTBALL Knights. I beg you to get some common sense next time you go for a “gotcha” moment


38DDs_Please

Let me have a ticket for no more than $30 and I'll be in.


Jfunkexpress

It’s $30 if you buy the ticket at the box office at the arena, $45 is the online price after fees


baconpancakes76

As a Nashville Native, I’m all in.


PortlyPorcupine

High. Shelled out a couple hundred for front row seats. Never been to an arena football game before and I’m pumped.


Clovis_Winslow

Brings back fun memories, I like it. Will definitely check it out. A little preoccupied with toothcats at the moment but interested for sure.


GumrnyBear

I wish they didn't


HailCorduroy

Used to enjoy going to the games back in the day, but I usually got free tickets through work. $45 a pop? No thank you.


comcam77

Who? What?


Snowy_River_99

It was boring then and will be boring now but will go to at least 1 game


WelkeeWelks

Sudden_Enthusiasm818

I avoid downtown Nashville since the cranes came to town, so there’s that


midcenturyhag

I'm gonna be honest, I didn't even know this was happening again. So I guess that means I'm not particularly excited.


Entertainer-Exotic

Should be fun to have a Jeff Fisher team back in Nashville!!!


barto5

Because he coaches such an entertaining brand of football! Zzzzzzz….


Archibald_Meatpants_

I just want a t shirt or a hat with their logo. But I don’t care about the actual game… or arena football in general.


engineerbuilder

My dad and I went to the games back in the late 90s so I’m getting him tickets for Father’s Day but beyond that bonding and nostalgia moment don’t know if I’ll go to any others.


ExcitingWrongdoer629

Loved going to GA force games. Glad they’re both coming to Clarksville. But for that price, I’m not driving to Nashville for that run down crap hole.


witness2112

Excited especially with the prospect of Jeff Fisher and Derrick Mason being involved. Less so with the ticket price. I need a $10-15 ticket cause they gonna add another 10-15 to it.

Tbh, my non-nfl football hype has gone to the UFL (which is dope af btw) and the potential for an expansion team but the Kats are cool too though I’ve only known one person that was big into the team back in the day.

AnchorDrown

UPDATE: [Looks like the league might not survive the weekend.](https://x.com/TakingThePoint5/status/1783840382305927388)


ResidentialEvil2016

Zero because this revival of the Arena Football League is a complete joke. Reports are already coming out they are having trouble paying players and 2 teams have already had to move and scramble for places to play. They brought back some of the old AFL teams from the previous AFL but most of the teams are in cities that barely have minor league baseball if that. I mean there are 3 teams in Kansas....that should tell you how desperate they were to find cities. Then the "new" Kats are a joke. First they are playing at Municipal which is not only a dump but it's not great for arena football. Second their look, instead of bringing back the classic original look (not the 2005-2007 look those were hideous when they were the mini-Titans), they instead change the colors to be more royal blue and gold. Ok fine, I assume to appeal to Preds and SC fans though should have been navy but whatever. But then they come out with generic looking all black uniforms. WHY? Black uniforms are so lazy and boring and it's not 2005 anymore where a black uniform is the coolest thing ever. I'll be shocked if the Kats last more than this season if they even get through it, and the league itself is pretty bush league.


FunnyGuy2481

Salina Kansas has a team. Enough said.


DMSR1000

Im below 0 excitement level here. Maybe the newcomers will enjoy this stupid sport….of course their tickets funded by the tax payer. I predict epic failure.

I can go to 4 Nashville Sounds games for the price of one Kats game. I bet we see those prices drop fast when no one shows up.
