Regarding "Bucs Raise Ticket Prices Again" (Sports, Feb. 9):

Once again, the ownership of the Buccaneers has shown its incredible disregard for the loyal fans of the team. This price increase comes in a difficult economy in which most people have had little to no increase in their salaries.

I phoned the Buccaneers ticket sales representative only to be told that the tickets have been below market value for a long time. The representative showed an amazing lack of interest in my concerns and indicated to me that the Bucs had 80,000 other fans ready to buy my seats.

I am going to take the $4,000 saved for my four tickets and buy one huge HDTV and sit in comfort to watch the Bucs - and the rest of the NFL - in the luxury of my own home. No more drunk, cursing, belligerent and disrespectful fans standing for the entire game. Finally, my children will be able to safely watch the game. Maybe the Bucs have done us all a favor after all!

I will still be sitting in Raymond James Stadium next season; it will just be on Saturdays watching the USF Bulls.
