Same here. Though I was planning on trying to move up towards the front of my section. That would now bump up the price an additional $4/ticket.

Looks like my seat is going up about $291 for the season. That’s approximately 37 beers (not including tip). Something’s gotta give…

They have since removed the original link. Probably realized between the e-mail last night and this graphic that we were flat out lied to in the e-mail.
In the upcoming days you will receive your season-ticket renewal material. Most of you will see a change, an average increase of about 8%. Some seat prices have changed more than others, while some have stayed the same and a few seating areas actually have decreased in price. I realize no one wants to pay more, but our season-ticket pricing has been moderate when compared with others around the league.
Emphasis mine. A few means more than one…yet there’s not a single seating area according to that graphic that stayed the same.
I don’t know who of us is getting an 8% raise this year, so what Monumental is telling us is that we need to spend MORE of our hard earned cash to watch a product that’s less productive and exciting. Oh, and the price of scotch went up by a few bucks, and the pour is much less than last year. $3 more a game doesn’t sound like a lot, but when you consider that it’s now $70/game for someone to sit damn near the top of the arena… I thought Ted wanted to keep foreigners out of our stands… This is not the way to do it.
Certainly hoping my potential splitee still wants to split. Went up almost 10%. I’m now paying, as STH, $1 less than what my seats GATE price was 4 (5?) years ago.

hmmmmmm, gate prices in my section did not increase this year, but STH prices did. That’s incredibly fucking irritating.

You have to read the chart – those are this year’s gate prices. Supposedly they haven’t set next year’s face values, probably in large part because without a schedule, they don’t know which games will have what price.
That’s thrown me off in the past.

Welp, I was contemplating dropping mine, this may seal it…if anyone is interested in splitting 2 seats in Mezz Center…let me know.

Thanks for capturing this before it disappeared. Yes, I know it will be out eventually.
So they went to row splits, because you know there weren’t enough categories already.
My biggest complaint, which I have expressed to this organization, is that the sections don’t stay the same from season to season. You move your seats through the summer select-a-seat night and a season later it’s a different category. Last year it impacted people who moved from defend to attack or center in what used to be the same price level. This year it’s via the row split.
RIDICULOUS
And for people who are in J or up, you might be happy, but think about it in the context of someone who moved to row G or H and had the choice of row J or K.
I also think the club seat pricing is out of whack, which may offend some people who sit in the club level, but it’s my reaction after a quick review (I felt the same way last season.)
Sticking with this issue about the row split and attack/defend, so someone sitting in row J in attack corner/end will be playing a dollar less than someone sitting in row H in defend corner/end. I don’t get how that is a $1 more for the person in the defend zone; would be more tolerable if even. So attack corner row a-h (I’d understand if row a had different pricing) is going from the lowest price category to the third lowest.
Ha, I understand. I sit on the aisle between two pricing sections. The seat across the aisle is 30 bucks less on average. I’m hoping that seat doesn’t get renewed.
"Money talks. I listen."
Oh, yes, there are several places where it’s an issue of a seat away being a different price. My issue is the year to year lack of consistency. Increasing prices, which I would prefer didn’t happen, is one issue, having no ability from year to year to know how one’s section will be impacted is a different issue and one I have expressed concern about in the past to the guest services and sales department, as recently as last summer when I moved my seat during select-a-seat.
What is so insane about this new pricing is that they are going back to what they had several years ago with the upper rows being cheaper. Then they redid it and made the entire section the same price with the result of some people getting a very large price increase unless they moved to a new section (which one could do at the time.) That change angered a lot of people. Last year they made the end zones different prices. Now they are going back to split sections, but one cannot just move to a cheaper section anymore.
Yes, that’s what I was trying to say about moving seats based on the pricing structure and that it keeps changing. Even year to year.
Going back like you did further, and yes, I remember, we were discussing it on here earlier this week, makes it even crazier; of course most of those people are probably not with the organization anymore.
speaking of most of those people not being with the organization anymore, I’m on my third ticket rep in five years.

I found one piece of good news – if you want the Hershey game, it’s included in the STH package (you can decline it). And it’s cheap.

“cheap” doesn’t even begin to describe it!
