The Steelers have raised some ticket prices for the 2008 season at Heinz Field by as much as 21 percent.

Tickets that ranged in cost from $59 to $74 last season will cost between $59 and $90 in 2008.

All club seat prices were raised; they ranged from $150 to $212 per ticket last season and will cost between $175 and $240 in 2008.

"Our prices in past seasons were below the NFL average,'' team spokesman Dave Lockett wrote in a statement. "We needed to increase the prices to remain competitive. The current prices bring us up to around the NFL average.''
