The New Orleans Saints informed season ticket holders that prices would be rising again in 2019 after an earlier increase in 2018. Luke Johnson of the Times-Picayune reported that season ticket prices are rising by about $8 on average, though the exactly increase depends on the seating section. Prices rose by $9 on average following the 2017 season, and approximately $5 in 2016.
It’s the price fans pay to see a successful team. The Saints have won the NFC South division title in consecutive years, making deep playoff pushes each time. This is a franchise with Super Bowl aspirations ahead of them, and they expect to continue setting the tone for the rest of the league after winning 26 of their last 36 games (going 11-5 in 2017, 13-3 in 2018, and 2-2 in their last four playoff games). The Saints have won 15 of their last 19 home games, including the postseason.
The amenities at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome are still highly regarded by fans, both for the raucous home crowd and visitors. New Orleans was again ranked number one in an annual NFL survey for gameday satisfaction after seizing that top spot the year before. Between the Saints’ winning ways and the efforts put on my Superdome staff, tickets to check in on the black and gold are well worth the cost of admission.
