They don’t even sell out or get close to it, how can they expect to get anywhere near their sales goals. They’ll lose 50% of buyers

They want to say Zion is the next big thing but then get mad that they can't get tickets at a cheap price we'd have for a shite team.

They’ll be able to soon when all the STHs bail and all the tickets are on stubhub for $15 a piece

They had an invoice in my account this morning when I checked, but now I dont have one. I am sure they are changing the prices.

They are out of their minds.

I have two seats at $350 each and they are crazy if they think I’m paying $1,200 to renew. I don’t even sit in those seats anyway. If I go on those seats I stand by the railing at the bar in section 323, or I buy lower bowl seats at severe discounts minutes before tipoff on SeatGeek.

It really blows me away that for a team desperate to get asses in seats and build a fan base that they charge so much for the upper bowl. You can get nosebleeds for literally $1 on SeatGeek minutes before tipoff.

Some in here have said they only noticed a 25% increase. I would not accept your tickets at 70% and move seats and only pay a fair 25%.

The people getting 25% increases were paying at minimum a few grand per ticket, the people getting 70% increases were paying a few hundred dollars. Huge difference.

The difference however is that the seats with the lower percentage increases are the more expensive seats. The largest percentage increase appears to be on the lowest priced tickets. While the lowest was $350/season before, it appears the lowest ticket now is $500/season,

Considering the $350/ticket was $8.33/game, any increase would be a pretty high percentage. Those seats now cost $14.29/game.

My tix increased 94 bucks a ticket, per season. I’m okay with that.

Mine only went up 10%. I think they are still fairly priced for my seat. I would throw something if they tried to increase them by 25% or more.

Are they aware we are in New Orleans? One of the worst cities when it comes to personal salary

Does anyone have a response from the ticket reps? Asking why for the huge increase in pay

I get why people don't like it, but you guys know exactly why. Zion ain't just a draw on the road.

So, you do or don't have season tickets?

No, and it changes nothing I've said.

Nowhere did I say you or anyone should be happy. But to not understand why considering our team and that guy named Zion is just silly.

Justify that comment? Have you seen the secondary market for tickets? Why has the market value significantly increased?

They're predicting future market value. If it's too high, no one will re-up, and prices will come down.

THe justification is this is how the market works in America.

This increase is based on speculation.

Which it should, this season's team is not next season's team.

If they fire Gentry, fans will be asking why ticket prices so low
