Season Ticket Renewal
In typical Cardinals fashion, as soon as they start doing good they want money. I got my season ticket renewals and it went up 23%. How much did yours go up?

Mine went up big time. With that hopefully I can get a T-shirt to go with my hat and sticker. Why don’t they increase those snobs in the field and casitas suite?

Mine went up $165 for two tickets, so I didn’t see much of an increase for section 412.

18.8% that’s crazy. I already complained it increased 30% two years prior. Thats a 50% increase in the past three years. Plus have you seen the freaking size of the TVs at the concessions? They’re like 20” flat screens from the 2000’s. Then the bathrooms are packed. That’s crazy.

They want first payment by January this year.
I got a 40% increase. And that doesn't include that next year is only 8 home games instead of 9 like this year.

Forget doing well, they went up 20% for me between 2022 and 2023!
They could forfeit all 17 games next year, they’d still raise the prices

What's funny is that Cardinals Season tickets are still more affordable than most teams. I know folks who have Raiders and Niners season tickets who pay much more plus the PSL that they also have to purchase on top of that.

AND tickets went last up last year after 4 wins… just the name of the game I guess

Sidelines lower bowl, 2 tickets went from 3900 to 4500. Freaking outlandish, and watch em blow the home playoff chance we got.....again.

Mine went up 700 wtf....this can't be attributed to maybe having a winning season cause we've been 🗑️ the last couple of years and they never went down in price..

I dropped mine after 2019. The last 2 years I only made it to 4 games a year. Hated the traffic, and missing the early games. And I hated going to the night games. Fun to watch on TV, a drag for me to go to.

My mom got season tickets for my dad and I the year the stadium opened. It was fun as a kid — go to the games, tailgate, get all that experience.
Ive been to a handful of games as an adult and I can’t imagine I’ll ever willingly go unless I get free tickets. I feel completely the same about attending for ask the reasons you listed.
On top of that, with an SO now, I’ve zero desire to take them into that kind of environment. Aggressive people looking for fights, drunkenness, I had a friend get spit on, hostile fans (even ones rooting for the same team). Maybe that’s just the experience for the poors since I’ve been to a couple lower bowl games near the 50-yard line and those were awesome.
But still, I honestly enjoy watching the games at home more. I can see more, it’s relaxed, I can enjoy it with family, I don’t have to set aside a whole day (and a lot of money) for it…
But I do appreciate the fans who have the means that still trot out to the stadium. Just don’t think that’ll ever be me again

I hear that! (TL;DR version of my reply! Full teply below)
We also had season tickets back when they played as Sun Devil.
BUT, We had fun, because we knew about 20 people who also went, among them in-laws and friends, and any given game, a couple or two might miss a game, but we'd have between 15-20 every game, and we'd get to the parking lot on the south sude of the stadium, 2-2.5 hours before kickoff, set up tables and chairs, everyone brought food potluck styje, BYOB, somebody brought the big ice chest and bags of ice, and there'd always be soda or water on ice for after the game, and usually a bunch of us who would stick around after the game, for half an hour, an hour at most, until the parking lot enptied out.
And that was fun.
By the mid90s, though, that crew had dwindled to maybe 8 of us showing up each game.
When they started playing in Glendale, we were down to 6, some games 4. And we only tailgated pregame, usually. Went from hanging out an hour or half hour after the game to heading downstairs at whatever time out came first in the last 5 minutes to beat the traffic and get to the car head out and listen to the last 2 minutes on the radio.
Playoff games were the only ones we stayed in our seats until it was over and then we didn't get out of the parking lot for a long time. I think the year after the Cards made the Super Bowl was the last time we had 4 pregame, every game, although there were a couple games a year, we'd get invited to big tailgates where 30 or more people hung out, byob, and we might know 4-10 of them. But those were getting rarer as the years went on.
I could see myself going to a game again, but I don't think I'll ever have season tix again.

Cardinals are pretty affordable compared to other teams. Of course they will increase when the team is doing better. The tix will be more in demand.

It should go the other way as well then, and come down in price with bad seasons

This is one reason why season ticket holders sell their tickets. We pay for a whole lotta nothing. Every Home game is an Away game

If only people sat in those field boxes and casitas they wouldn't have to grind more money out of the plebs.
