The Denver Broncos have just announced the ticket prices for the 2014-2015 season — and while it’s no surprise they’ve gone up, the amount some of them have risen is considerable. If our math is correct (and granted, that’s a big if), the price for a prime field seat will now be more than 50 percent higher than it was in 2010-2011. Other bump ups range from modest for upper-level seats to substantial at the club level.
Here’s the breakdown in several different categories.
Note: Figures courtesy of Mile High Report and 7News, which notes that 2,000 half-priced tickets will go on sale for each game at 1 p.m. on June 30; that’s a Metropolitan Football Stadium District requirement. As such, we’ve included full and half-price amounts for each year from 2010 to 2014, along with dollar and percentage increases.
