BEREA, Ohio – The Browns' first season with more than five wins since 2007 is coming with another increase.

The club is raising season-ticket prices at FirstEnergy Stadium for the first time in seven years, it announced Thursday. The last time the Browns hiked season subscriptions was in 2008 following a 10-6 campaign. They went 7-9 this past season – a three-game improvement from 2013 – despite finishing the year on a five-game losing streak.

The club mailed out renewal letters to fans Thursday.

Season-ticket memberships for non-club level plans range from $25-$110 per home games. A year ago, the same packages went for $19-$85 when the Browns had the NFL's lowest average ticket price in that category, according to the team. They also ranked 31st out of 32 teams for average ticket price last year, according to Team Marketing Report.

"It's been seven years and at some point with the other teams in the NFL and the other teams in our division we have to," Browns president Alec Scheiner said in explaining the increase. "I think the product is getting better on an off the field but more importantly given the way the secondary market was for are tickets where we saw some people selling tickets on the average of two times the face value we just felt the market was telling us it was time."

Scheiner said there will be commensurate price hikes in club-level seating as well. "There's not big changes there," he added.

Not all prices are being bumped. The Browns are decreasing or remaining the same for approximately 8,350 seats, including options at the 50-yard line in the upper level. The stadium seats 67,130 fans.

Scheiner knows the price hikes will generate some blowback from a fan base that hasn't seen a winning record since 2007 or playoff appearance since 2002.

"We're hopeful given the length of time and how prices have increased everywhere else in the world that people will understand," he said. "But we also understand that nobody likes prices increased. But we feel very competitive within our division and around the NFL."

The Browns, who finished 4-4 at home a year ago, have a challenging FirstEnergy Stadium schedule that includes visits from Arizona (11-5), Baltimore (10-6), Cincinnati (10-5-1), Denver (12-4) and Pittsburgh (11-5). They also host San Francisco (8-8), Tennessee (2-14) and Oakland (3-13).

The club will announce the two preseason dates at a later time.
