Winnipeg isn't corporate Toronto plus Truth North has always stayed to 3% or less. I feel this will back fire on them and many will drop out. Plus Toronto is a much bigger area of population. They can easily find others. Winnipeg not so much.
Team needs to stay profitable. Player salaries near the cap now, team needs to pay the bills. This is the cost of having a team in a small market. It is what it is.

They have to increase revenue somehow to keep up. I'm pretty sure the terms of the STH agreement cap increases at 5% do they not? They haven't done anything wrong.

Everyone always brags about David Thomson tho, like he is going to foot the bill himself and his 30 Billion
I would think the Jets have a very disproportionate amount of non corporate season ticket holders compared to the majority of franchises in the NHL. TNSE may not care if Joe and Jane fan drops their season tickets as they may have corporate sales lined up.
At the initial sale many businesses could not get their hands on season tickets unless they had Moose tickets or lucked out at the general sale.
I would speculate that TNSE are comfortable pricing some season ticket holders out of the building.

Not commenting on the legitimacy of the Jets increase but Toronto isn’t a comparable market (I live in Toronto).
The correlation between price and demand isn’t elastic in Toronto due to the fact the most of the season tickets are corporately held, salaries are far higher and most people cherry pick a game or two to attend with their wife or kids because it’s a huge pain in the ass to get to and from downtown from the burbs.
My sense is that jets fans in Winnipeg attend more games (often sharing partial seasons) and earn less money than their Toronto counterparts, so the market factors are entirely different.

While this may be true it does not relieve the pressure TNSE is facing to increase revenue. I was not suggesting that TNSE should have increased prices to the level the Leafs did. I only posted for comparison purposes

Didn’t all teams get some good $ from Vegas expansion?
Won’t they get good coin from the Seattle expansion too?
Serious question
Tough decision with our next renewal after next season. Enjoy the games but it becomes a bit of a money pit and as OP mentioned earlier it's not like we are making more money. If playoff runs become the norm the increase becomes something more like 50% if they make some conference finals.
The upside is that there are a lot of single game tickets available, for regular season at least. Maybe I'm getting old but I like watching the game on TV being able to do some things and go to bed right after as well haha.

Yes teams did but that's not considered HRR. It's just a dividend.
It's all about increasing HRR
This is an interesting comment. I've long believed that TNSE doesn't mind shaking loose those ST holders who are not well positioned to have ST. Pay to the cap and have a winning team and make enough revenue from your ticket base and playoff games.

Speaking of making money anybody have an idea of what a home game in the playoffs will bring in for the Jets

They don't have to pay team salaries from the revenue. The league does take a cut though and uses part of that for player playoff bonuses.
Will increase by round but I think $1.5 million per game is the floor and up from there. A run to the SCF is likely in the range of $30 million.

Well for their bottom line I hope they play max home games in each series and for our sake's we win each series. 
According to this article you can be looking at $20+ M with a long playoff run.

I expect many know but just to clarify the 5% increase has come in on the newer signed contracts. As P3 we still have one more year left with a 3% increase and then upon renewals we will jump to 5%. I believe the only levels paying the 5% increase at the moment are the P6-7 group as their renewals came up sooner. P1/P2 might be but I don't think so as the increase came in after year five and they would have renewed for their five year term prior the increase. P3/4/5 will be signing next year and will all be tagged with the 5% (I'm being redundant by saying it differently).
I know I certainly don't see even 3% increase personally year over year but that's why I'm in a group in part, to spread the costs out. I agree with others in that I don't see TNSE having a problem pricing some out of the STH market but I'm not convinced they aren't going to overstep that limit at some point. As others have said, it's not Toronto and all the seats aren't held by corporate entities that can write it off against business expenses. Tickets are a lot of money for a season.
As far as I know our cap at P5 right now is 6% per year and TNSE decides each year what the increase will be.
It's too bad that STHs can't gain access, re: transferring, re-selling etc... to the entire upcoming season the day the NHL schedule is released considering payments start April 15. Two of the three payment plans have the entire season paid by August 15 yet STH won't be able to do anything with the tickets until September and the 2nd half of the season will be frozen until December.
The list of STH benefits is pretty poor in comparison to other franchises. Don't Moose ticket holders get the same discount at Jets gear? my wife says she gets a 15% discount at Jets gear through her job.
Clearly the best benefit is the ability to purchase playoff tickets. Would still like a concession discount.
