2023-2024 Tickets and Memorabilia Thread

[theaub]

My pair of seats has gone from $3,150 to $5,000 within the past two seasons :/

Mine went up 15%, guess i should consider myself lucky. Maybe they have enough $$ now to dip into the luxury tax!

I’m not completely opposed to the increase as it’s been a good savings vs the Ticketmaster pricing - but I do wish they’d be clear about how many games we can sell online through Ticketmaster without a further 30% increase.

I saw this and came to post but apparently some of you guys got it worse

Looks like I went up exactly 13%. Wish next seasons payments plus playoffs didn't over lap though. Not sure why 2023/2024 dues can't start in the summer.

Without a true superstar/superstars on this team and/or not having a championship contender MLSE is really pushing this.

In just a snap of the fingers they could have really high over priced tickets no one that wants to go.

Just saying……

Unless MLSE thinks the raptors/basketball has reached “Leafs status” and whatever they put out there and whatever the price is the masses will buy it all up.

One must wonder if we are on route to "mature market" territory. Ie) Brooklyn, Boston, New York, LA, Golden State, etc where the season seat holder pricing is hiked each year win or lose to the point there is lower gap or non-existent gap with the re-sale market. I think we are a few years away from this point, but something to watch for. There is abundance of a waiting list that MLSE couldn't care less what us seat holders thinks of pricing. The resale pricing unfortunately is still well above seat holder cost so further hikes to come for us or resale pricing has to come down.

It came up in my memories today that my seasons in 318 were up for renewal in 2011 for $528 a seat

This season, me and 3 friends went to the Boston game and it cost about $670 for 4 seats in 318. For one game

I've personally reached the point where im ready to tap out, it's just not worth the price anymore

For sure, but the re-sale marketplaces are also tracked so they should just be adding the commercial premium to those accounts.
What's funny though is the only tier 6 games this year had quite a high membership cost (LAL and GSW) and both ended up without the star players playing: Curry, and then LBJ/AD. I didn't see what they were going for prior to that, but I'm sure going into the game many went well under face.

Yeah, I agree they need to hit more people with the "reseller premium" pricing on their seasons. If you sell like more than 40% of your seats on Ticketmaster, you should get an automatic conversion (no questions asked). Seems the policy is inconsistent and keeps people guessing.
Dynamic pricing only works when you can count on full rosters to play. Load management and unfortunate injuries has derailed that lately (last few years). So what ends up happening is some games are under priced and others overpriced. Also got to wonder if next season you see folks willing to pay less to see GSW/LAK.

I’ve sent you a DM but unsure if it sent (it shows in my outbox vs sent). Feel free to DM me or email me at hip2day at yahoo dot com if interested and you haven’t received it. I have 308 row 2.

Anyone take a look at their playoff invoice? MLSE took a healthy increase there too. I opted in as I like to go, but I don’t use every ticket and at these prices might lose a couple bucks on ones I don’t use.

Based on playoffs and renewal prices, it’s getting expensive! I think some people may drop for next year. Wonder if I’ll downgrade my seats in a year or two, or maybe switch from a pair to a single.

Looks like a 12-15% hike across the Play-in and First Round. 16%ish across Round 2/3. I don't get the price hike to be honest on playoffs. Playoffs should be considered "bonus" revenues for MLSE. So not sure why they feel they got to apply hikes like this. Regular season games are a different story.

Not to distract from the silliness of next season's prices as I am part of the 20% bump club in the upper bowl. Craziness. Less so in the lower bowl but still a solid hike.

Just posting my final pairs of this regular season here.

Section 324 Row 4 on the aisle:
March 16 vs OKC: $135/pair
March 28 vs Miami: $175/pair

As always, please PM if interested.. Cheers

Mine is a 26% increase for the play-in and Round 1 (and I thought last year's prices were outrageous). 22.4% increase for Rounds 2/3 not that those matter.

damn. What section and row do you got? No need to be exact, but something close will do. Is it like fanzones?

[MoMoneyMoProbs]

20% increase in play-in
4% increase all other rounds

"Play-in for what" my A$$

I'm at Sec 113, row 16. my STH neighbor has same prices but it is his first year as a STH. Though I did move down a few rows this year but was in the same price zone for regular season. The Play-In game costs more than what I paid for Round 2 vs the Sixers in 2019.
