Ticket Prices increasing

Team President Dick Cass did not speak much during the press conference, but talk about ticket prices. He told reporters that there would be $100-120 million in upgrades to the stadium, most notably to the upper-deck section. While that was great news to fans and PSL owners, Cass also had bad news. He announced that there would be a good chance  the Ravens would be increasing their ticket price. Bisciotti immediately chimed in saying, “They ask you 1 question and you have to give the bad news.”

While Bisciotti’s comment stirred up laughter, the news definitely made some fans angry. The Ravens have ranked in the bottom half of NFL teams in ticket prices but with poor play recently, M&T Bank has been noticeably empty. For fans who go to 1-2 games a season, they might shy away from attending if the team isn’t performing well. It will be interesting to see if the increase will affect PSL numbers as well.
