For the third consecutive year, and fourth time in five years, the Detroit Lions are raising the price on season tickets.

In a renewal letter to season-ticket holders, team president Rod Wood referred to the pricing increase as "modest."

Requests for specifics were not immediately returned, but 2016 packages range from $399-$2,238. The pricing for the low-end package remains unchanged, while the most expensive set increased 2.9 percent.

Last year, the average cost of Lions season tickets went up 4.1 percent. The year before, following a playoff berth, tickets jumped up 8.2 percent. And in 2012, it was a 7.9 percent increase.

The team did not raise ticket prices from 2007-2012.

Fans looking to retain their seats will need to put down a 25 percent deposit by Feb. 24 and tickets must be paid in full by May 13.
