5% for me, that f'n win streak was the worst thing that could have happened to us.
I am truthfully SHOCKED they are increasing prices.
so is everyone renewing?
i'm on the fence personally. I've had tickets for 10 years and i'd hate to give them up, but truthfully I could have gone to any game this season and sat in comparable, or better seats at my cost or more often then not significantly less.
The increase is a real slap in the face and is really not sitting well with me.
I got a 5% increase as well and was similarly shocked.
I'm very much on the fence too. I talked to my STM rep a couple weeks ago and told him price was the biggest issue for me. It sounds like some of you had a lot of success selling early this season, which I think I was too busy to get ahead of, and I'm looking at a $1,900 loss so far this season on 4 tickets. I just about always come out in the black normally.
Haven't decided. I've got my postgame shootaround on Thursday, and then I'll probably talk to my rep on Friday and honestly I have no idea how my decision will go yet. Guess if i had to say, I'm towards no.
Call me a fool but I elected to opt in, ironically after losing money on 3 more games since my initial post. I got burnt in 2007, I gave up my tickets before the big 3 were established. The year(s) before were dreadful, I was bleeding money trying to sell tickets and I had no interest in going just to see them loose. I couldn't even give the tickets away for free to family and friends, many games were just going unused. Long story short, I gave them up a month before we got Ray and KG and when I tried to get back in season tickets were sold out.
I feel like we are one piece away from seeing it again and I dont want to make the same mistake twice. That said we are also a Tatum or Brown injury away from seeing 2007 and before all over again. Another difference is my cost for comparable seats back in 2007 was $60/game, needless to say my cost now is much much greater.
Next year will be my last season if the team continues to under perform and/or they raise prices again. My cost has gone up 72% since I opted to get back into season tickets back in 2014. I can't say the team has been 72% better throughout that time frame.
