Allen Park — After record-setting attendance at Ford Field last season, and the hiring of coach Matt Patricia, the Detroit Lions are sending a letter informing season-ticket holders that prices will increase for the 2018 season.
It marks the fifth consecutive year the team has raised ticket prices.
The price increases will vary by seat location, but on average, jumps 3.4 percent. The biggest increases are for the stadium’s best seats — in the lower bowl between the 30-yard lines. Fans in those sections will be paying 18.2 percent more in 2018, while more than 10,000 of the stadium’s seats will see increases of less than one percent.
