The Blues will announce today a price increase on season tickets for the 2010-11 season.

The rate of the increase depends on whether season-ticket holders “iced their price” this season by renewing before the April 10th deadline. For those who did, and therefore didn’t have a price increase this season, the average jump will be 14 percent. For those who didn’t renew by last April, and paid a 10-percent increase this season, the average leap is four percent.


“I think it’s important that there was no increase last year, which was the right thing to do then,” CEO of Blues Enterprises Peter McLoughlin said. “Now the pricing for them will be consistent with the new buyers . . . It’s an extremely good value. The atmosphere in the building is great. It’s reasonable to go up in this fashion at this time.”



Eighty-five percent of season-ticket holders renewed their tickets this season prior to the April deadline, according to McLoughlin, so the majority of ticket holders will be part of the 14-percent increase.



The Blues have the fifth-lowest season-ticket prices in the NHL this season, and McLoughlin said Friday, “I’m absolutely confident that we’ll remain in the bottom third of the league” with the increase next season.



The renewal rate on season tickets this season was 85 percent, and the season-ticket base climbed over 11,000. The club has a goal of 12,000 season tickets for next season.



“Season tickets are the life blood of the franchise,” Blues President John Davidson said. “That’s how it works. We think it’s been a good experience (at Scottrade Center), and the team is getting better. The young guys are developing. We want people to stay and enjoy themselves. We want, as an organization, to keep improving. It’s been a real good marriage with our fans.”



Davidson noted that the three-year entry-level contracts of Erik Johnson and David Perron will expire at the end of this season, and next season will be the final year on the entry-level deals for T.J. Oshie and Patrik Berglund.



“When you develop young players, and they come out of entry-level, the price of them goes up,” Davidson said. “We have to make sure we retain our players.



“Ownership has never taken a dime out of this franchise. But (the ticket increase) is the price of doing business.”

Here's the deal....if you were a season ticket holder who 'Iced Your Price' last year, when ticket prices rose 10% I believe, you are charged that 10%, plus the 4% of prices that were raised this year.

If you didn't 'Ice Your Price' last year, you only pay 4%, since you already paid the increase from last year. That's the way I understand it.

so in other words, one would have been better off paying the increase last year.

Well, doing the quick math, no, as you didn't pay the inflated price this year in addition to paying it next year.
