If you don't want to spend the amount of money to attend in-person, don't. Just watch on TV somewhere.
NFL (as with all professional sports) are trying to make as much money as people will keep paying, so they'll keep raising prices until people stop being willing to pay that price.
It's funny because I pay nothing per year to watch the NFL other than the TV service I already paid for. In game attendance is a very small fraction of the revenue the league generates. If everyone didn't show up tomorrow it wouldn't sink the league but it would make the television viewing experience worse. That is the key as long as they can keep the environment good enough for TV they will do what they want. To your point, there will come a point of diminishing returns and then people will slow down but teams are selling out at a rate well above historical levels so....we ain't there yet.
