Percentages are stupid when you are talking increases. They are reporting percentages so that it’s a headline grabber.

Gym seats are going from $65 for season tickets to $100. That’s not some crazy high number. Last year there were 6 home events. That means tickets are now ~$17 each when they were -$11 each last year.

Yeah, but that's an extremely effective strategy if you want to grab the attention of this fan base. They know their audience, and play to it well.
