Season Ticket price increase

The Browns Board
36 11 1.3k
  • I've had season ticket since 1999.My seats are in the west endzone 1st level

    They started at $30 per game plus the $500 per seat PSL cost

    Then they went to $40 a game, then $50 per game. And they have been $50 for 6 or 7 years.

    Now this year they have gone up to $65 per game.

    I wonder how much the club seats went up?

  • Mine were $75 last year in lower sideline around 5 yard line. I am going to be beyond pissed if mine went up 30%.

  • Listen guys you have to pay for a quality product, oh wait, forget I said anything.

  • Not pleased with that news at all. My tickets went up 33%, ($60 to $80) and if you use the payment option, you are required to buy a playoff ticket if there is a home playoff game. (not too concerned about that, but it is a fine print addition)

    where does it say that? I have done the payment plan and I was never forced to buy playoff tickets. They sent out playoff invoices last year but I declined to buy them.

    No, I have club seats. My seats last year were $130 per game. They are going to $155 per game, so a increase of just under 20%.

    $25 more per game per seat....$50 a game. $500 a year. I'll see how I can cut that $500 out of travel.

    I could easily do it by not leaving on Friday afternoons and spending the night somewhere in KY. My room and meal at night costs more than $50. More like $100 or so. The Red Roof I stay in runs about $80 tax included, and I'll drop maybe $30 at Cheddars on a few drinks and a couple of veggie side dishes. But....that would be a 600 mile drive on Saturday and another 600 mile drive home on Monday. I do like these weekends to be somewhat relaxing. That sounds more like a truck drivers schedule, I might have to look at other ways.

    I already cut back on the hotel. I had been staying at the Courtyard the last 3-4 years, and at $89 a night I considered it a good deal. Last year they jacked the rated up towards $130 a night so I went back to Red Roof Inn. I found a decent one in Medina that if I wait foe a special net rate, I can book for $55 a night, tax included. There is a Buffalo Wild Wings and full Brown Derby inside a 150 yard walk, so it is ideal. Good price, rooms clean, rate is good and don't have to worry about driving or catching cabs. Just walk to the bar.

    Once in the stadium I do drop money. I guess now I'll just drink 2 beers rather than 4 and not buy a $10 burger at B spot. That will save me close enough to cover the difference.

    I did expect some increase. I guess I didn't expect a 20% increase. I was thinking around 10-12%. I will say I hope this isn't just a step and another next season. I might get priced out of this deal. Tickets is the least of my expenses since I live in Tennessee. If I lived around there I wouldn't even be considering the issue.

    It didn't until this year.........go through your invoice online, and where it tells you to choose single payment or payments, there's a not below that telling you that by choosing the payment option, you give the Browns permission to take the first home playoff game out of your payment account.

    I did see it and I shot an email to my rep and he called me back in 5 minutes. He tried to tell me that they want to make sure season ticket holders got the playoff tickets. I asked him why can't they just send a seperate invoice like they did this year, and he said they changed the policy.

  • This may seem like a dumb question but wouldn't you want the playoff tickets?

    I was kind of expecting it too with Scheiner running the show now. Not quite the % amount though......should guarantee 2 more wins though.

    Yes but we have always had the option to not buy them, now we are forced to buy them

    Plus they are about 4 times the regular season price.

    And the Playoffs are around the holidays, so some people might not have the money

    Like Browns 149 said, the option would be there anyway. I'm not sure what the advantage would be to the Browns to make sure you have to buy tickets for at least one game. Could always sell them, but it may be a tight time frame to do that in.

    Also, what would happen if the credit card didn't work, or was maxed out? Would they pull your season tickets for voiding the agreement?

    I have no idea on that. I surely don't think you'd lose your rights to your seats for a playoff game when you've been there all of those year without one.

  • Did you folks really expect to pay for all of those game experience upgrades all by himself?.. Not a chance.. And he still fielded an inferior team on the field.. Lmao!... Only in Cleveland...

    Yeah I guess that would be tough. I would hope you wouldn't have any trouble unloading good playoff tickets to the first home Browns playoff game since Jesus walked on water.

    The only upgrade that I have really noticed was the new video board. I don't even know what other upgrades they have done

    It still takes forever to get into the building, the food and bev prices are still way to high, and the cell service is still awful.

  • 20 to 30 % increases especially with no prior in action is absurd. if this is all about paying for "phase one" improvements I say STOP PHASE TWO IMMEDIAYELY!! Those improvements aren't close to worth $500 a year to me. Shit I'm still feeling butt hurt from paying $3000 for my PSLs acfeecm ears back and them discontinuing PSLs a month later.

    LOL, read it and please STFU about Haslam finally raising his prices. After him & Lerner holding the line for years.

    The Browns had the cheapest seat average in the NFL. Even with a 20% increase, we're still living in slum city price wise. Care to Pay Jerrah $75 for in close parking? Care to pay double your ticket price to watch Da Bears suck?

    BTW 'Peen- the Giants and Patriots are on the high side of $450 for an average Club seat.

  • Cheap by NFL standards still. If ya'll can't afford it, get rid of them.
