The Wildcats have raised ticket prices too

The Moncton Wildcats have followed the Saint John Sea Dogs in raising season ticket prices for the COVD-19 impacted 2020-21 season.

The Wildcats unveiled their season ticket pricing on Friday in a letter posted online. According to the team, "pricing for the 2020-21 season will include a $75 + HST price increase on all season ticket packages (with the exception of youth 3-14 years old). Ticket revenue accounts for a large percentage of our business, and this season we are operating at reduced capacity. We have also made significant investments to enhance our health and safety procedures to best protect our community, fans, players and staff during events at the Avenir Centre."

The Sea Dogs' adult season ticket prices were also raised by $75 to $575. That's still quite a bit cheaper than the least expensive Wildcats adult season ticket package, which is priced at $635.95 (end zone seats).

Here's how this year's Wildcats season ticket pricing compares to last year.

Season ticket members are likely to be the only people inside Maritime arenas this season. Like the Sea Dogs, the Wildcats will have a seating capacity of roughly 25% of their building and similar safety protocols will be in place. Of note, Moncton released a few additional details regarding seating.

• Every second row of seats will be unavailable.
• All aisle seats will be unavailable.
• Three seats (six-feet) of separation between groups of seats.

The Wildcats also confirmed that Rogers TV will be airing select home games once again, which is good news given seating capacity restrictions.
