Rams increase ticket prices average of seven percent
February 16th, 2007 | by Kevin Morris |
The St. Louis Rams, whose string of regular-season sellouts ended at 95 games in their home finale, on Friday announced an average seven-percent increase in ticket prices to $68.28 for next season.The team said nearly 40 percent of tickets will have no increase or will be reduced, and that pricing will be at or below the NFL average.
The team also added three new price categories, including a limited number of terrace level seats at $35 without acquiring a personal seat license.
The Rams had sold out all 95 regular-season games since moving to the Midwest in 1995 before the Edward Jones Dome was about 3,000 seats shy of capacity for a game against the Washington Redskins on Dec. 24.
The Rams finished 8-8 last year under first-year coach Scott Linehan and “that generates great optimism for 2007,” team president John Shaw said.
“Rams ownership continues to be committed to spending to the salary cap to ensure a winning, on-the-field product that builds on one of the most storied and successful franchises in professional football,” Shaw said. “We are confident of making a strong run in the NFC West next season.”
Letters were mailed to season-ticket holders on Friday along with invoices due May 1. PSLs and limited tickets went on sale at the team’s official Web site and through its ticket office. Season ticket flex plans go on sale in April, with single game tickets going on sale in July.
