My first rant: So the new seats (upper east side) mostly sold very badly this year, despite the non-stop Giovinco show. You would think they would learn from that (like in the north end in the past), make those seats a bit more reasonable, a bit more like the rest of the stadium. Or at least freeze the pricing.
But no: based on nfitz's chart above, season tickets in the upper east are getting even more expensive in 3 price categories; frozen in 3 price categories; and only dropped in one category (black). So instead of the new seats becoming more like the old pricing, it looks like it's the other way around.
As somebody mentioned, there isn't actually any light grey in the new upper east seats. That leads me to my next rant: I'm worried that after this year's massive price increase for light grey, they won't even be done. It doesn't make sense that all the new seats in the upper east, are currently more expensive than all the old light greys (upper & lower bowl)
I'm really worried that the old light greys will be bumped up to the new black pricing in future years. So from $228 this year for a single light grey season ticket; to $323 in 2016; to $570 (each!) in the future. For a pair of light greys, the total would increase from $456 to $1140, a 250% increase.
All of that was a guess for the upper bowl light grey (west side). Light grey probably would get even more expensive for the existing lower bowl (east & west). Again just a guess, based on the new upper east seats.
I remember that promises were made to us after the price drop to year one: That they had learned from the excessive price increases in TFC's first few years; that they wouldn't do that again; that there would at most be reasonable, steady increases.
42% increase (and possibly even more in the future) is not reasonable or steady.
I'm so pissed off.
