Yes, you're reading that right. Fans can get season tickets in the high ends and it works out to $8 a ticket. Or, those seats are $15 each at the gate. At some point those ticket prices are going to have to go up, even if it means a 33% increase ... to $20 at the gate.
The last two seasons, Sabre season ticket holders who sat in the 300 Level ends (which is the middle section and the section on either side and thats the whole section-aside from first two rows) where the Sabres defend twice-priced at $10 per game. The season ticket holders who sat on the opposite end of the 300 Level where the Sabres shot twice-had to pay $17 per game.
For the upcoming season, the Sabres are charging season ticket holders-$15 per game in both areas so in one the price went down $2 per game however in the other (and unfortunately where I have season tickets) went up $5 per game. So I'm paying an additional $410 (I have two season tickets) this season. I figured eventually my price per game would go up to where its even with the season ticket holders opposite of us but figured a slight increase of $2-$3 per-game this season then even it out the following season or two. Still $15 per game is a great deal and if the playoff prices stay the same (season ticket price-first two rounds and then only $5 raise per game-conference finals/finals) then I can't really complain.
So Blues fan, take advantage of the deal ($8 per game for STH) while you can because it will definiately go up in the future.
