Looking at the 2025-26 STH guide, my seats got hit with a massive price increase. I have been in 213 the last couple of years:
2023-24: $150
2024-25: $165 (+10% from 23-24)
2025-26: $340 (+106% from 24-25)
I'll probably move over to 214 or 216 this year, and I suspect 214-216 will sell out while the upper corners will be largely empty aside from a handful of marquee games. Even moving over to a worse seat, I'm still looking at a 12% increase from $165 to $185.
It looks like everybody gets a fairly significant increase this year, with some absurd increases in the upper level:
(Including recommended donation)
205, 211, 219, 225: +121%
213, 217: +106%
All Others: +11-20%

Give 'em hell Rico!
Some big numbers indeed, but when you put it in perspective, those increases are nothing. Zip. Nada. NIL.
Definitely some sticker shock involved. I was always planning on get the cheapest seats this year since I think it will be Shaka's first real rebuilding year. Then move back to some better ones afterwards.

The GAP in seats is growing

Then it appears you never have been, since smoking was prohibited in the Arena when Al was our coach.

Not if you were sitting courtside.

Before woke, you could smoke anywhere. Me and Willie smoked 2 packs a game. He had Chesterfields
Does willie have to smoke in his basement with his pennant?

Yes. What a sad state of affairs. Can't smoke in his living room or hang his Warriors pennant there. The epitome of brutality

When you put it in perspective that 60 years ago I only paid $16 for two reserved seats for the entire season (i.e. all 16 home games) those prices are through the roof.

It's a voluntary transaction.
Sorry to hear of the price increases.
For us, best thing about Wojo is that he Arby'd us out of getting season tickets.
I found it interesting that the only benefit for $100 donors is an invitation to the "open" practice. Last year it included an invite to the Block Party, makes me wonder if they added that to the list of cancelled fan outreach events.

You've missed some great games during the Shaka era. Glad I have several accounts and will gladly pay again this year.
lol Final Four....i can imagine you have a few!
Interestingly .. looking at 2019's prices, the lower corners (like 103/104) were $760-900. In 2025's dollars, that's $970-1150.
Now 2025 .. the lower corners are $850-1345.
Doesn't look too bad from that angle. Maybe I'm missing something?

Get ready for $20 hot dogs at the open practice.
