In a shocking move that’s sure to enrage Patriots fans, the team has announced a massive price hike for tickets to Gillette Stadium.
According to sources, the team is raising ticket prices by as much as 30% for the upcoming season, with some premium seats costing a staggering $500 per game.
But that’s not all – the team is also introducing a new “tiered pricing” system, which will see prices vary depending on the opponent and the day of the week.
For example, tickets to see the Patriots play a marquee team like the Kansas City Chiefs or the Los Angeles Rams could cost as much as $700 per seat, while tickets to see them play a lesser opponent could cost as little as $200.
Patriots fans are already taking to social media to express their outrage over the price hike, with many vowing to boycott the team’s games.
“This is ridiculous,” wrote one fan. “I’ve been a season ticket holder for 10 years, but I’m not paying $500 per game. The Patriots are pricing out their loyal fans.”
But the team is defending the price hike, saying it’s necessary to keep up with rising costs and to provide a better experience for fans.
“We understand that this price increase may be difficult for some of our fans, but we believe it’s necessary to ensure the long-term success of the team,” said a team spokesperson.
What do you think, Patriots fans? Are you willing to pay the higher ticket prices, or will you be boycotting the team’s games?
