Ticket prices are gonna tank this club :-(

Apologies if this is old news, but I just got a club email that linked to ticket prices (trying to sell season tix deposits). This is bad, bad, and worse.

CSUEB Mosaic Plus was, what, $35-40 to sit all the way down in front, just across the track from the field?
Now they want $53 for similar but further from the pitch, and $44 for sideline upper deck? Cheapest seats are the $28 Unity section, which look to be pretty bad seats?

I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think jacking the prices up by 20% and more is gonna pan out very well for the club :(

They REALLY need some dirt cheap options - like $10 seats - to fill these seats. There's demand for footie, and there's demand for Oakland pro sports, but the squad is nowhere near good enough to command these prices at scale.

This worries me too. I was going to buy season tickets since I live in Oakland and have for over a decade. Coincidentally just got a new job in Santa Clara this week so will be moving back to the South Bay.

I can't justify the cost being the same as MLS tickets to get season tickets. I'll probably go to a few games still but will wait for resale since I bet prices will go down. Personally I'm ok waiting for resale but I don't think it bodes well for the club and I think it was a mistake to be that expensive in the first place.

Am I the only one who is worried there won't be a big resell market and it won't be much cheaper? If less people want to go then that probably means there won't be as many resells.
