Detroit Lions Raise Season Ticket Prices For 2024

Winning comes at a price. The Detroit Lions have raised season ticket prices for the 2024 season.

Many fans are now frustrated and are taking to social media to let their voices be heard. Others are saying it's simply supply and demand.

According to SI, one fan who has tickets in section 335 had his tickets go up "almost $500 a seat." SI points out that another season ticket holder said their ticket price nearly doubled "going from $1,550 to $2,879." Another fan saw their club seat prices increase from $2,255 to $3,859, per SI.

It's tough to see the tickets increase in price so dramatically in such little time. Sure, the team is finally performing well. However, fans feel like they've supported the team through decades of lows and it's unfair to raise the prices of tickets as soon as the team is good.

SI reports that throughout the last five seasons the team basically didn't change their season ticket prices. That's why it's come as such a surprise to Lions fans and season ticket holders. According to SI, last season the team raised ticket prices by 4% on average.

Timing is everything. Announcing this as the team is on the cusp of making the playoffs and possibly winning their division for the first time in 30 years stings. We should be celebrating! Instead, fans are frustrated and taking it out on social media.

By the rules of supply and demand, the decision makes sense. There's a large demand for tickets, therefore prices go up. However, I think the fans are making a good point here. We've stuck by the team for so long. We've witnessed bad decision after bad decision, coach after coach, and more. Never giving up on our team. Now, the minute they turn things around, we're stuck paying the bill.

A new study also named the Detroit Lions one of the most expensive teams to root for in the entire NFL. Read more about that here.
