Surprised it has continued to go up, I would have figured things would have established after previous year jump, did it go up by another 15%?

Are you in rows lower than 18? Mine also jumped near 15%.

They better hope keep winning. No clue what will happen if we start to stink it up again........they will have mass “non-renewal” hit.

Large incentive to re-sign Masai and keep the good times rolling...

SSH I have the Pistons and Warriors games available. I can’t make either. Sec 318 row 2.

Pistons $180/pair
Warriors $240/pair

Both are way more expensive on resale sites.

Mine went up 15%. Sec.320 R5. But I try to keep it in perspective as I made up for this price increase by selling some games during the championship run last year. Hoping to move down a row or two to make it worth while. I have a feeling there could be some movement this year due to people opting out.If I could get down to row 2 or 3 in sec 320 or similar, it will be worth it.

I got a 45% increase claiming that I'm a corporate reseller. LOL! I've been a season seat holder for almost 8 years and this is what they do? Shame on this organization. They begged me for my business and now the claim that all my tickets are on the secondary market. I don't even sell on stubhub or ticketmaster, most of my tickets are literally going to family, friends and charitable organizations.
Im pissed!

They must have the data if you're selling it on Ticketmaster or StubHub. So ask them to verify it.

The data is definitely wrong because I only sold two games on ticketmaster this year and maybe five the year before. What is the point if they encourage selling on ticketmaster.

Then I would definitely call them tomorrow and let them know. There are a lot of grey areas and they don't have to give you a reason why. But those reps at the office are fairly reasonable.

Yeah, have a heart to heart talk with your rep and tell him they are so wrong about it. Years ago, they told me they actually encourage SSH to sell on Ticketmaster and if you don't, they might think you're selling them privately or on Stubhub. Back in the day they tracked this by those that used to print by PDF. But now there's no PDF, my guess is that if you keep transferring by email to others, they might think you're selling - which i know sounds (Please Use More Appropriate Word). Way back, they thought I was one but I proved to them I wasn't and they switched me back to regular. They specifically told me to keep selling on Ticketmaster (this was 4-5 yrs ago). Send him a detailed complaint email and talk to them.

I'm in Sec 113 above 18, but they jumped exactly 15%. Last year they went up 12%.

This is where corporate ownership is bad for fans. Their primary focus is profits for shareholders. So MLSE will continue to gouge fans in order to deliver a large bottom line. They have no heart.

My old section 119 season seats were $150/pair when I first got them. Can’t imagine what they are now.

Thanks dude, I appreciate that! Gives me some hope.

Yes, they told me the same thing (encouraged to sell on ticketmaster). Funny thing is, i dont even use stubhub. Its literally mainly friends, family and charities.

I have a call scheduled with the corporate strategy dude today. Funny thing is, he was the one who sold me the tickets back when he was an AE.

A 45% increase ? That’s insanity!!!

They are really walking down a dangerous line right now.

Yes, right now, times are great, best raptors team ever, you want to cash in on that.

BUT, you also have to be loyal to these people and not just bulldoze them because times are high. You want to be able to keep these people when times are not this great and the Bandwagoners leave.

What are they going to do then ? Give you guys yearly decreases at 15% or a single season decrease of 45% ?

I guess the plan is to just milk these times for all the cash they can get and worry about The Bandwagoners mass exodus later.

Better hope we keep winning MLSE..........

Exactly!

They literally begged for my business back in 2012-2013. They gave us a free pair of playoff tickets once we registered and I thought these guys were awesome. The first couple of years were great until ofcourse, Demar's last season with the Raptors.

They stopped inviting me to events and all, extremely frustrating.

Believe it or not, considered 905 tickets for next season as well.
