Cheaper tickets helping Bengals
Two-, four-game packs on sale soon
The reduction in season-ticket prices has translated into an increase in sales for the Bengals.
With two- and four-game ticket packs going on sale next Thursday, the team announced that the seats, which were reduced to $40 per game, are sold out.
Those tickets, which were in rows 13 and higher in the Canopy levels of eight sections, were previously $60 per game.
“We’ve been successful the first five months,” ticket manager Andrew Brown said. “The $40 seats, those are seats we had a tough time selling. They’ve gone over well and we’re pleased with that.”
With the multi-game packs, the Bengals have added another tier of pricing. Previously, those packs were sold at single-game prices but the team has put in another level that is between the season-ticket and single-game amounts.
For example, tickets that cost $53 per game for the ticket packs are $50 per game for season tickets but $55 single game. Buyers of ticket packs will also gain priority behind full-season ticket holders should the team advance to the playoffs and host a game.
Ticket pack prices range from $53-$84 per game. The $53 seats are the lowest for Bengals tickets since the 2005 season, when they won the AFC North division.
“The introduction of the packs level is middle ground and another perk to buying packs instead of single games,” Brown said.
Also on June 7, single-game tickets for the two home preseason games – Aug. 10 vs. the New York Jets and Aug. 23 vs. Green Bay – will go on sale. The Bengals have not sold out a home preseason game since 2008.
While there have been reductions in most of the upper-deck prices for season tickets and multi-game ticket packs, there are some increases for single-game tickets ranging from $1-$3 in four of the seating zones.
In the other two zones, which cost $55-$65 single game, those prices last year were $73 per game.
The team has eight zones of pricing this season whereas in previous years there were six.
Season-ticket holders will have the first opportunity to purchase multi-game packs for friends starting on Tuesday.
