The Tennessee Titans will be raising ticket prices for the upcoming 2020 NFL season.
Fresh off a season in which the Tennessee Titans finished 9-7 and made it all the way to the AFC Championship Game, the team will be raising ticket prices at Nissan Stadium for the 2020 season.
According to Titans beat writer Paul Kuharsky, the stadium’s lower bowl seats will see a 10 percent increase on the heels of a 15 percent increase one season ago. This came after years of little to no increases, though.
As far as the loge, club and upper level seats are concerned, there will be a much smaller increase of two percent.
While the increases are understandable to a certain extent given the season the team just had, the problem remains that the Titans had trouble filling Nissan Stadium last season even though the cost of a ticket was ranked 25th in the league.
A perfect example of that was during the Week 5 game against the Buffalo Bills in which Bills Mafia filled the stadium and made it feel like a road game for the Titans. It got so bad during the season that even head coach Mike Vrabel was vocal about fans not showing up.
But clearly the franchise is banking on the team finishing just one game shy of making the Super Bowl as a reason fans will come despite the higher prices.
Before Tennessee can re-create their 2019 success, general manager Jon Robinson has to bring back some of the big name free agents the Titans are at risk of losing, mainly running back Derrick Henry, quarterback Ryan Tannehill, right tackle Jack Conklin and cornerback Logan Ryan.
Tennessee has finished 9-7 each of the past four seasons, so this franchise must improve upon that in order to further justify this increase. On top of that, spending big money during the offseason to keep this team together and add more talent would also help.
