Bengals Reduce Preseason Prices, Raise Cost For Season-Ticket Holders

The Bengals are "dropping the price of season tickets for preseason games, but enacting an incremental bump in the overall price per ticket" for '16 season-ticket holders, according to Paul Dehner Jr. of the CINCINNATI ENQUIRER. The range of the entire package "spans an average of $37.78 per game on the low end to $102.44 on the highest end." The Bengals last year "greatly reduced the lowest price points in the stadium to a more affordable range which stretched" from $35-95. The Bengals are now "embracing a two-tiered system which ranges preseason tickets separately between $23 and $62 per game." Despite the overall increase, the average Bengals ticket price "still sits more than $10 below the league average." The overall cost of the season-ticket package "will be lower than last year due to the nine-game slate instead of standard 10." The Bengals are hosting the Redskins in London, so they only have seven regular-season home games (CINCINNATI ENQUIRER, 1/26). Bengals Exec VP Katie Blackburn said the Bengals are "hoping to build a stronger season ticket base than they had" in '15. In Cincinnati, Steve Watkins noted the Bengals "sold out just three of eight regular-season home games and ranked 28th in attendance and 24th in average percentage of capacity filled" this season (BIZJOURNALS.com, 1/26).
