As I'm sure many have, got my Season Ticket Invoice yesterday. My prices went up $50 per season Ticket, or 6.5%.

I don't know about renewing. I found last year to be the least exciting atmosphere in the dome in maybe forever. Combo of Covid still being a thing and also just how boring the team was on offense at times.

In addition to that, I found that I could have bought tickets on the NFL ticket Exchange for less than face value for every game last year.

I'd love to wait until early summer to decide, but of course the Saints want money now.

Anyone know if you make a payment now, and then decide not to make the second payment in the summer if you get money back, or do they just keep it?

How's everyone else feeling?

Your thread prompted me to log in. I'm in 646 and mine are $1060 for two, I rolled over last year form covid year so not sure what the actual price was then.

I can't imagine not renewing, but I'm with you its gone up. I also can't make as many games because of work but again I can't imagine giving my seats up. I've had them since right after the season in 2005.

6th year in a row mine have gone up. Gayle has raised prices every year since Tom passed. Let that sink in.

I'm looking to add a ticket or two so the more that don't renew the better.

Makes sense. The team was 6.5% better so you're paying for what you get.



Oh wait...

People on the Internet are going to have a hard time admitting it, but everything is just so damn expensive these days. A trip to the stadium with your family of four will cost you no less than 200 bucks. I’m at the point now where I would just rather try to hustle up tickets for a big game or two and do it big instead of committing to the whole season


It sucks but it is what it is. I just can’t prioritize or justify spending a whole lot of money on this product the Saints and the NFL are putting out these days

I have three tickets in 640 and I’m in the same boat. I haven’t gone to a game since the Vikings loss in the playoffs right before covid.

I basically ate the cost of most of my tix last year because I could barely give them away. Not sure if I feel like doing that again. It’s so hard to let them go though. I’ve had these since 2002.

Opted out Covid year, didn’t renew last year. Don’t regret my decision one bit.

I am still annoyed how they handled the returned tickets for the Bears playoff game.

They 100% sold them all to a broker that kicked them back something instead of offering to season ticket holders that weren’t selected once.

Also, did we get a credit for the Ida game?

I’m going to renew just to see if my son likes it. But I’m over it

I have excellent seats, in the plaza on the first row. I sold a few games last year and lost money on every game. Only game I sold and came out ahead was the Bucs. Brady is gone now so that will be another loser game if I sell them this year.

Cost is currently outpacing the actual market value. I will probably renew to see if it was partially due to the vaccine mandates.

I just checked and mine went up. But that was based on 10 hime genes last year. We will only have 9 this year with one in London. So it appears they may have gone up even more than you may have first figured….

My invoice amount is the same as last year (and 2020), but like you said, it is only 9 games this year instead of 10, so cost per ticket did go up.

Also, if you want hard tickets this year, it is $100 extra.

Went up much more than that given there are 9 home games this year as opposed to 10 last year.
