So by my math that's a $315.02 increase, which would be an 8% hike. Pretty steep in this economy, to be honest.
We'll have to think long and hard whether we renew for the 16th season if this is a continuing trend. I have lots of friends in Edmonton that got rid of their season's for the same reason. New building, new taxes/fees, and impossible to offload tickets.

I think they need to keep that in mind. The good will from 04 was one thing, and it was followed by 5 years of the economy being on fire
I had to give up my tix a couple of years ago. One guy I shared them with was out, the other was on the fence, and if you couldn’t go, often recouping STH price was a best case scenario.
Now I can go to most games when I want, for around STH price, with no commitment or extra burden
The good will and casual fan base from 2004 has gradually eroded. The people that were going to the red mile are 15 years older, and that next generation of casual fans have not had much to stir the passion.
You would hope they informed pricing by a look at the secondary market, but I am sure they have been thinking they are doing fans a favour in minimizing price increases as a reward for tolerating the mediocrity.
