i know the importance of taking care of myself. how are you doing between practices? i feel pretty good. surrounding myself with a great team. de'aaron we're going to take a quick look at your knee with ultrasound. everything is looking great. but not just for me. for them. it's great to see you again man. thanks jb. for all that is me, for all that is you, kaiser permanente. being a fan for so long, i don't want to be the one person in my family who who who gives up their, you know, 45 year season

ticket holder to perdition. >> there's different things that makes you feel that as a as a season ticket holder. yeah. they're kind of ripping you off here and there and there's not a lot you can do about it. >> frustration and disappointment for the 40 niners faithful over increasing season ticket prices. good evening. thank you for joining us. i'm dan ashley and i'm ama daetz season ticket holders say they weren't given much notice that their tickets would be more than doubling in price. and on top of that they say getting in touch with their niners sales representatives has been difficult. >> abc seven news reporter dustin dorsey spoke with those frustrated fans and he joins us live from levi stadium. dustin. >> yeah you know, in sports we're taught to never really look ahead to next year or the next day. really even. but for 40 niners fans looking ahead to 2024, they've got to wonder at this point if they want to be season ticket holders, how much will it cost them? the cost of being a 40 niners fan has just gone up. >> her faithful baby always

represent hundreds of season ticket holders. >> are now faced with the reality of paying thousands of dollars more for season tickets or possibly lose the seats they've had for years. >> you know, faithful toward the team. and the team has nothing to do with this. right. it's really the management of the team that's that's failing us. we spoke with three fans and received emails from others who got word from the 40 niners membership service team that seats in sections 232 to 235 and 243 to 246 at levi stadium are now designated as preferred seats and with that comes a price hike that shocked them all. >> brian hate is a 20 year season ticket holder. last year i went to 4500 for this is for the two tickets and then 9300 for next year for the two tickets. 50 year family season ticket holder elizabeth lent sits in section 252. we pay approximately $4,000 a year for our ticket, and next year it'll be closer to 9 or 10,000. raymond reynolds in section 233 has had family season tickets since kezar stadium, and his prices went from 9000 for four

seats to 20,000in 2024. >> but they're not moving our seats. you know, the people that sit in the sub seats that they pay $20,000 to sit there and they're on the 30, 40, 50 yard line and we're in the end zone. so it's like, all right, what am i getting? >> a levi stadium spokesperson told us the ticket holders are getting additional benefits, including access to an indoor club space, and these benefits are reflected in the price increase. the spokesperson also told us that the organization is in communication with the season ticket holders, although the fans we spoke with say they have gotten little response as of now , if the fans refuse to pay the increased prices, they'll lose their tickets. but just like they are faithful to the team, they remain faithful. a resolution is possible. i have faith that the 40 niners are going to try to make this right. >> and maybe i'm foolish. you know, i know it's a corporation, but you just can't believe you season ticket holders for 40 years and this is how it ends. >> and of course, now at this point, the deadline for the first payment of the monthly

bills was november 30th and a february deadline looms for the full invoice. but these fans are uncovered while paying anything right now until they really get some more answers at this point. >> dan and ama, well, you can understand, dustin, it's an awful lot of money. here's a question. is there a way fans can just simply move out of the seats that they have to cheaper parts of the stadium and still get to see the games live? but save some money? >> yeah, at this point, there are something called a receipt relocation plan that they could get themselves into. that happens in june. that's when season ticket holders opt out of their tickets and those go back up to the area. but at that time, of course, that is a lottery system. so there's really no guarantee that they will be able to get where they want or even around the people that they want at that time. >> dan so they're taking a bit of a risk if they wait for that and try it all right, dustin, thanks very much. >> let's take a look at the rain now from earlier today in the east bay hills, but the wet weather is moving out soon. for the details on what to expect
