Patriots won't increase ticket prices for 2015

In a move sure to appease New England fans, the Patriots won't be increasing ticket prices for 2015. 

Patriots owner Robert Kraft and team president Jonathan Kraft made the news known in a letter sent to season-ticket holders:

"Last season, we introduced variable ticket pricing and received very favorable feedback from Season Ticket Members," the letter reads, according to Mike Reiss of ESPNBoston.com. "In 2015, we will keep the variable pricing model by game and the cost of each season ticket will remain the same as last year. ... 

"Thank you, once again, for your amazing support of our franchise and creating the energy and excitement throughout the season that helped us do our jobs and achieve our goals. We are already counting down the days until we unveil our fourth Super Bowl Championship banner with all our Season Ticket Members and look forward to another memorable night at Gillette Stadium to kick off the 2015 season."

The Patriots had the highest average ticket price in the NFL last season at $122, nearly $40 higher than the league average of $84.43.

The letter also mentioned that several stadium construction and enhancement projects are currently underway, including a new field-level lounge, a fantasy zone and an expansion of the pedestrian bridge under the lighthouse.

"We will continue to invest in improvements and technologies that will provide new opportunities for fan engagement now and in the future," the letter reads.
