    The extreme price hike that the Blazers added for next season?

    I told my rep blindly I wanted to renew. I finally went in to see what the costs are and see I was bumped up by 50%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I emailed my rep this mornign when I saw that and asked my optiosn on how to cancel my tickets.


    I understand playing the market, but this is way out of line in my opinion.

    I went from $3150 for my pair to $4790.


    OUTRAGEOUS and i'm pissed......I wanted to be a season ticket holder for decades, but not if they are going to fluctuate that much.


    So guys like @Lanny @Charcoal Filtered and any other season ticket holders, how do you feel about this?

    No wonder he wants Dame to take less.

    HAHAHA For the record, I wanted him to take less prior to finding out about the price hike.

    Portland had the sixth lowest ticket cost last year. Deal with it

    If I had one, Id give you the middle finger emoticon. LOL


    Really though. I dont care about other markets.

    This price increase just priced me out of attending games. I'm sure i'm not the only one.

    And if you ever came to town, I woulda taken you to a game, but now you will have to deal with not going. (probably a relief for you, lol)

    I agree, it's a significant bump. One thing the Blazers do that make it easier is to give a discount based on the number of years you are a season ticket holder. That made it far more palatable in my case.

    Right. That 2% discount really offsets that 50% increase....

    I consider it robbery.

    It's your own damn fault. If you would have rooted against the Blazers, they might have been swept by OKC and the ticket prices would not have increased.

    Your best option now is to try to convince them to trade Dame, CJ, and Nurk for Ray Felton.

    Nice hypothesis, but they actually sold me the tickets to next season before the playoffs started. I only just this morning went into the account details to see what I was being charged .

    Orion, how many seats/where? From what I saw in Feb, it really depends on location. The zoned out a lot of what had been cheaper areas to sideline 300s front row/behind the basket 200s price tier. So, it seems to create a better margin on more of the seats, and more directly cost out the "good" cheap seats.

    Sure, and you think the playoffs aren't completely rigged? I suppose you think the men actually walked on the moon, too.

    First world problems.......I wouldn't buy season tickets to anything that charges me 8 dollars for a bottle of water.
