Well, the Vikings have finally made a smart move to keep their fans/their income source happy. The Vikings have announced that they are NOT making across the board price increases for Vikings Tickets for the 2007-08 season! Hallalujah! In fact, two-thirds of all season ticket locations will have the same or lower prices - wow! I was shocked that the Vikings would have the insight to make that sort of decision. Twin Cities Ticket Guy mentioned that he hoped the Vikings would make a smart move when they announced the 2007 prices - hey, maybe the Vikes are reading his blog?!?
Here are some snipets from Vikings.com:
For the first time since 1998, there will not be a general price increase for all seats. Two-thirds of all season ticket locations will have the same or lower price than this past season, with virtually all remaining locations increasing by 1.8% to 4.5%."We greatly value our loyal Season Ticket Owners and have worked very hard throughout this decision-making process to maintain affordable options for our fans while balancing our business challenges," said Steve LaCroix, Vice President of Sales and Marketing.
In 2007, the Vikings will have 11 pricing options for season tickets (up from 8 in the 2006 season), ranging from $99 (limited view), $196.10, $380, $490, $670, $710, $730, $960, $990, $1,130 to $1,160 for a 10-game season package. These ticket prices include a 10% admissions tax paid to the Metropolitan Sports Facilities Commission, as well as appropriate sales taxes. New in 2007, as a tribute to the Vikings' inaugural season of 1961, there will be over 4,000 upper level season tickets offered for $19.61 per seat per game."We are excited about creating a wider variety of choices for our fans," said LaCroix. "Our $196.10 season ticket will be one of the lowest-priced season tickets in the NFL."
Yeah Vikings! I love the energy and the excitement of watching a Minnesota Vikings home game and I look forward to buying more tickets in 2007 than I did in 2006!
