    Was out on the ticketmaster site and it appears there has been a $10 increase on single game ticket costs. $25 tickets are showing as $35 while the $45 seats are now $55. Suppose this is supply and demand in real time and the team wants to cash in while interest is at its highest but still surprised to see that.

    I couldn't tell you as I have season tix. I wouldn't be surprised, though, especially since they've pretty much doubled the numbers of on-site help for gamedays at Bobby Dodd.

    Ditto. But the hype is real. I plan to sell enough tickets to pay for my season tickets next year.

    It's a great problem to have, though. Let's keep the stands full, let's keep everyone standing and singing. Hail the Old Lady of Clairmont Lounge!

    The tickets near/around my section (224L) are all priced at the same they were earlier. What sections do you think have changed?

    Supporters. I have 116 at Bobby Dodd. They resale for 60 or 70 each.

    I noticed this, too. Prices definitely went up. Can't say I like it.

    I'm also a season ticket holder so it doesn't directly affect me, but I don't like the blatant commodification of our fandom. They had a plan in place to make healthy profit. We did our part to make that happen. Why gouge us?

    If they turn around and spend this money on transfer fees in the future then I'm fine with it, but I don't think it quite works like that.

    I wonder whether it has something to do with Bobby Dodd Stadium (At Historic Grant Field!)?

    Is that section GA or assigned seating?

    Assigned seating and face value. I'm a huge nerd and go over there regularly to see how close we are to selling out. Being mildly attentive it was easy to notice the uptick.

    What's interesting is that it's now putting some of the "certified resale" tickets lower than face

    How do we resell individual tickets from our season tickets? Do we have to give recipients our ID card, or is there another way to do it?

    The easiest way to do it is to download the Atlanta United app. It has ticket feature that has your season tickets. It's easy to resale.

    was out on the team site earlier and noticed that only single seats remain available for the DC United match on APRIL 30. yes, the team has an effective sell out a month prior to kick off. Hope the team doesnt go 0-4 on the road. We'll also set the MLS record for most no-shows in a game

    Can anyone comment on the MBS AMG Club seating and amenities? Is it worth buying a season ticket? Most of the other sections have sold out; I plan to attend most of the games but would like to know if there is a demand for single Club seats and the resale process.

    Thanks

    That's beyond me, I'm afraid. Only premium seating experience I've enjoyed at a sports event was for the Thrashers long ago, and I've not examined the terms at MBS. Sorry.

    Can't attest to the first part as well, it's not open yet!

    Resell is very easy. Put my two up last night, sold within 5 minutes at triple face value.
