Hopefully the Jags do well this year to deserve that increase. If not, they are going to have a lot of angry fans.

I think this is pretty much a result of them holding the ticket prices steady over the past Decade of Death as well as us actually being good and we get ready to host the Steelers, Patriots, and Redskins who tend to bring in a huge demand (justifying an overall higher price for tix).

The cool thing that the Jags do for single game buyers is mark up high demand single game tix (example:  A Steelers single game ticket may cost $185 wheras that same ticket for a Jags-Colts game is priced at $70)  This tends to alleviate the cherry pickers who opt to only go to a game or 2 versus buying a season ticket plan @ $70/game x 9 games (w/ 2 being preseason)

I have 10 tix and my overall impact is ~ $650 additional costs but I'll take it over the past decade of losing and the fact that we're actually spending our $$ on Free Agents like M. Jackson,  C. Campbell, and AJ Bouye versus the Gene Smith strategy of bringing in players like Kassim Osgood, Aaron Kampman, and Freddy Keiaho like he did back in 2010.

That's the thing, no one has a problem with it if it means winning.

Call me whatever but with 10 years of garbage play and finally having one good season, that doesn't leave me with a good feeling of the Jags being such a for sure thing next year like most people think. Especially when we are coming from having one of the easiest schedules of any team to probably having one of the hardest.

Probably just me being paranoid, but I'd like to see a little bit more consistency before an over 10% price hike.

I don't want to sound negative because I do personally believe that we are going to be good next year but I do have a nagging thought that we could flop like 07 to 08.
