A fan voiced his opinion on social media as he found out that his team has plans to increase tickets in certain sections next year by up to a staggering 400%.

Supporting a favorite team in person is an experience unlike any other, but the sad reality is that sports are also a business, one that sometimes leaves loyal fans priced out.

That seems to be what's happening at Little Caesars Arena, home of the Detroit Red Wings, as season ticket prices for the Labatt Blue Club are reportedly going to take a big leap next year, by as much as an incredible 400% jump!

I made a post about this over the weekend but I wasn't able to talk to a rep about the situation and get more details until today. The Red Wings have decided to transform the Labatt Blue Club section into another one of the stadium's all-inclusive clubs. Included in the prices of the tickets will be parking, food and drink. All current season ticket holders in the section will be seeing a near 400% increase in package price next season.

As of right now, there is no plan to grandfather current season ticket holders or to offer any option to opt out of the all-inclusive package. My rep straight up admitted that this is purely am only making move by the organization and they are aiming for the $200/game price point. This increase will likely push out almost every current season ticket holder in the section and the organization is offering zero apology or compensation to the loyal fans who have held tickets in the section for years. This is a disgraceful display of greed and disloyalty to the season ticket holder that have supported them through the years.

If you are a season ticket holder anywhere in the arena you need to call your rep and loudly voice your displeasure with this decision. If they are going to treat us in the LBC this way, you might be next.

The Labatt Blue Club offers something truly unique with the stadium views, Detroit-centric decor, and dynamic social settings, but increases in costs can soon make that out of reach for the most diehard fans.

Just a short drive away, Detroit Lions fans have faced the same problems. Season ticket prices at Ford Field increased as much as 67% this year over last, causing many fans to reconsider whether they could afford to keep attending games.
