Real Salt Lake announced season ticket prices for 2015 today, and there has been a bit of an increase across the board, with the lowest tier increasing $40 and the highest nearly doubling.
Tickets in the south-end supporter section run $240 for the season, a $40 increase over both 2013 and 2014 numbers. Tickets in the most expensive section of the stadium, the west-side, center-midfield section 19, were $1,750 in 2013 and 2014 but have increased to $3,000 for 2015.
Other notes follow.
- Some sections are changing tiers. For example, sections 35 and section 4 was grouped with the north end pricing previously but 'graduate' into a tier $60 more expensive.
- Some sections actually see a decrease, with most of the upper tier seating — aside from that in the middle — dropping a tier, to $490 from $410.
- The expensive seating on the east end extends further from the midfield; where it was previously only section 1, it now extends to sections 37 and 2.
- Section 8 on the south end moves from largely supporter-section pricing to the tier just above it, at $320.
Included below are the prices by tier — it's interesting to note how significant the increase in tiers has been since 2011. The 'standard' tier that encapsulates all of the south end of the stadium was $350 a ticket in 2011 and has increased only 11 percent since then.
