The cost of Lions tickets is skyrocketing, with fans facing an astonishing average increase of 36 percent if they wish to renew their season tickets for 2024. However, Lions head coach Dan Campbell prefers to steer clear of discussing this issue.
During a recent media session, Campbell was questioned about the rising ticket prices, to which he responded by distancing himself from the matter.
“Please don’t put me in that spot. I have no involvement in marketing, nor do I handle ticket prices. My sole focus is on winning games,” Campbell stated. “I understand the situation we’re in, and it’s frustrating to say, but there’s little I can do except concentrate on coaching and delivering victories.”
While it is true that Campbell holds no control over the Lions’ pricing decisions, one cannot deny that he plays a significant role in justifying the escalated costs. After years of disappointment, Campbell has successfully transformed the team to the point where they stand on the brink of winning their division for the first time in thirty years. This newfound success is precisely why Detroit fans are willing to pay the inflated ticket prices. It is highly likely that Campbell’s agent will highlight this fact to Lions ownership during their next contract negotiation session.
