Buckle Up, Buttercup: The Cost Breakdown
Here's the deal: Season ticket prices vary depending on your seat location. Think "throne-worthy premium" for sideline seats and something a little closer to "cheap seats with a view" for the upper deck.
QuickTip: Every section builds on the last.
A ballpark figure (pun intended) would be anywhere from the mid-$700s to over $800 per seat. That's for the whole season, folks. All the heart-stopping wins, the nail-biting draws, and (let's be real) the occasional frustrating loss.
But wait, there's more! There's usually a pesky account fee tacked on, so factor that in too.
QuickTip: Skim fast, then return for detail.
Perks and Privileges: What You Get for Your Green
Now, before you run for the hills (or Providence Park's exit), consider the sweet perks that come with being a season ticket holder:
- Guaranteed entry: No more scrambling for single-game tickets! You're in, no matter how hot the team gets.
- Priority access: Want to snag some sweet Thorns merch or grab a pre-game pint at the stadium pub? Season ticket holders often get first dibs.
- The camaraderie: There's nothing quite like high-fiving your fellow Thorn Prickers after a win (or commiserating after a loss – misery loves company, right?).
Think of it as an investment in your soccer fandom, a chance to be part of the Rose City's vibrant soccer scene.
QuickTip: Short pauses improve understanding.
Is it Worth It? You Decide!
Here's the bottom line: being a Thorns season ticket holder is an awesome experience, but it's not for the faint of wallet. Weigh the cost against the benefits and see if it fits your budget and soccer-loving soul.
