No ticket hikes. A stadium upgrade. And one quarterback carrying immense pressure on his shoulders. That’s the vibe in Baltimore right now. Amidst it all, Ravens president Sashi Brown just dropped some fan-friendly news: ticket prices for the 2025 season are staying put. In a league where teams hike prices almost every year, Baltimore is choosing a different path. Brown made that clear.

Brown explained, “We’ve historically had a sequence in terms of ticket prices of off and on [years of increases].” He continued, “We feel it provides some certainty to the fans who are not wondering every year how much my prices are going to go up.” And it’s not like M&T Bank Stadium is standing still. The venue is undergoing major renovations, including three new club sections, new end-zone suites, and upgraded plazas. Normally, such enhancements come with a price tag for fans—but not this time.

Brown further emphasized, “We think it’s in the best interest of our fans. Our renewal rates with PSL owners have been very high. All the new products we brought online have been well received.” The Ravens president expressed excitement about the upgrades, adding, “We’re really excited about bringing all that to life this fall.”

But while Baltimore is keeping prices steady, the Green Bay Packers are going in the opposite direction. The Packers are raising ticket prices across all seating sections for the 2025 season. The increases range from $7 to $21 per game for regular-season tickets and $3 to $11 for preseason tickets.

Packers President/CEO Mark Murphy stated, “Our overall average ticket price, which includes general bowl and premium seating components, is expected to be near the middle of the NFL’s pricing.” Green Bay is also continuing its “Pay As We Play” program, allowing season ticket holders to purchase playoff tickets at discounted rates.

Meanwhile, the Ravens’ decision to freeze ticket prices is a move to strengthen fan engagement. Helpful, as Lamar Jackson enters a season carrying greater expectations than ever.

Lamar Jackson faces immense pressure in 2025

Lamar Jackson’s regular-season résumé is elite. He has consistently led the Ravens to double-digit wins, been MVP twice, holds the NFL record for rushing yards by a quarterback (6,173), and is one of the most dynamic offensive players in league history. However, his postseason record tells a different story. A 3-5 playoff record, 13 total touchdowns, and 11 turnovers. His Ravens’ offensive production has dropped from 28.7 PPG in the regular season to just 18.6 PPG in the playoffs.

And that’s why CBS Sports’ Jeff Kerr placed Jackson as the second-most pressured quarterback. Pressured to win a Super Bowl in 2025—right behind Josh Allen. Kerr noted, “The NFL’s all-time rushing yards leader for quarterbacks, Jackson is the only player with multiple MVP awards who doesn’t have a championship”. He added, “He’s the only multiple-time MVP quarterback with a losing record in the playoffs.”

Despite that pressure, the Ravens remain a top Super Bowl contender. With HC John Harbaugh locked in through 2028 and a stacked roster, Baltimore enters the 2025 season with championship aspirations. However, for Jackson, the ultimate test remains in January—where he must deliver when it matters most.
