I can tell you this... They'll probably stop increasing in basketball before they do in football. The former has a huge % of unused seats and needs to DOWNsize, not enlarge...
They won't stop increasing in either regardless of % of unused (which isn't the same as unsold) tickets they have. They believe for every lower bowl / arena season ticket holder that doesn't renew (probably me with basketball next year) there is someone waiting to snap them up. They've been mostly right so far - but everything has its limits.
Understood, but I think you're mistaken about the lower bowl. I see no indication that price has become an issue for the ten thousand or so people sitting there.
Guess you misunderstood me or, I wasn't clear as we're saying the same thing about the lowers - to this point - there's been a never ending supply of people who will pay whatever's asked. I was wondering in light of the every year increases, when (if?) the tipping point occurs.
You pay your regular invoice by the 1st. If they can accommodate your relo request to your satisfaction, they will credit your payment toward your new seats and sell your prior seats to another buyer. They do this every year...
Yeah, but that's just lip service. They pass along regular increases because they can, pure and simple. There's enough demand for the product.
My point is that it's not really that big of a deal and I've just become used to those increases over the past 40 years or so.
