A Deep Look at Season Tickets Across the League
Comparing the cost and perks each team gives its season seat members.
Season ticket holders are the life blood of this league, they provide constant attendance, a source of revenue and support to the team match after match and hopefully season after season. However across the league each team is different in what it provides its season seat members. Some are more worth their buck then others.

The most expensive season seat in Halifax will cost you $545, while the cheapest adult ticket is $275. This is a good price range as it gives people a choice. Its also good that each tear of season seat has a youth price what is roughly half of what an adult pays. This is a great incentive for whole families to come to the game. This price includes 15 games, however this assumes that the team will host a CanChamp game.
Some of the perks that come from a season ticket are
Guaranteed best price
Exclusive season member gift (no description of the gift)

Overall a good range of perks for Halifax but nothing to special.

Season seat members in Ottawa have a bit more options when it comes to prices. Ottawa is fortunate enough to have club seats available, which raises their upper price limit quite high at $749, while their lowest is $319 in the supporter section.

York United
At time of writing York United does not seem to have season tickets available on their website for 2024. It was possible to have them in 2023 but that link is currently dead. This could be an area of concern or could just be due to new ownership taking charge and the fact they have not figured that out yet.
Forge
