Bruins paid the price in trades, now season-ticket holders get to also
The Bruins brought you Tomas Kaberle, Rich Peverley, Boris Valabik and Chris Kelly in trades last week.
Today they brought you season-ticket price increases.
Starting today full-season season-ticket holders can renew their tickets for the 2011-12 season. While some pricing will stay the same, there will be a weighted average increase of $4.34 per seat per game over the price of the seat in 2010-11. That’s $177.94 more for the full 41-game home schedule.
Tickets that increase will do so anywhere from $1-$9. Loge seats will cost $65-$110 per game, while balcony seats will cost $25-$69 per game.
While some of you might be scared off by the price increase, think of it this way: it’s a small price to pay to watch the Bruins defend their Stanley Cup title.
Matt,
Great response and very true. Not sure how they can justify stiffing the balcony crowd this much. The Sox haven’t done it to the bleacher crowd and even the Celts have some reasonable balconies.
I see Montreal got Sopel. I didn’t know they were MAKING PLANS FOR NIGEL.
“Watch the Bruins defend their Stanley Cup title”
I love your optimism.
Steve-
It’s the story of pro sports. They’ll gouge you until you give up and then they’ll find another sucker. It sucks, but that’s the way it goes. Think how much money you’ll save when they cancel the 2012-13 season. (just kidding, kind of).

Matt,
My tickets have gone up 42% in the last 2 years. I had these seats when the building was empty. Where is the loyalty from the Jacobs. The team is winning so now the gouge the only people who supported the team post lockout? Terrible!
Oh, James. I kid because I love. The only jinx will be if this team can’t score in the playoffs, or 2 D get hurt and Shane Hnidy is logging major minutes.

the real jinx is when bandwagon bob ryan gets around to writing his annual bruins article.
Huge Jinx!
I already can not afford it.
I went to the rookie game. It was fun.
177$ plus 63$ and you could go to every Detroit Lions home games. Go Lions. Oops wrong blog.
The thing that makes the prices funny is that they’re not kidding. I’ve been to events and I swear if the guy didn’t have a button I wouldn’t believe him. I was in a box at an event and someone got some popcorn. We were all joking that it’s probably ten bucks. We couldn’t stop laughing when we found out we were right.
don’t they charge more up at the waffle house?
$177 x 17,565 = over $3 million. Maybe it’s to account for the increased cap? God forbid the Jacobs family would have to dig into the pile of riches yielded by selling $9 mini-pizzas and $8 water-beers…
That being said, I’ll still be renewing my tickets this season. Jeremy, consider me to be in your front pocket.
already too much for me…..ill watch on tv ..no rookie game next year? that was a good deal for 5 dollars
