On top of the surging prices, season ticket holders were informed in an email of an auto-renew option for next month. The email confused fans on how to cancel their package, as they have to access another website to do so.

The lowest level was $500, which will rise to $750 next season. This is quite the move for an organization that has struggled during the first half of the season. Luckily, they have worked their way back to a 56-52 record, putting them in third place in the American League West. Fans had plenty to say online about the change in prices: &quot;Yikes is right!

Seattle Mariners need to take advantage of their matchups in August Red Sox Mariners BaseballThe time for the Seattle Mariners to get it going is now. They have the perfect opportunity to separate themselves in the division with a successful series against the Los Angeles Angels. Seattle holds a half-game lead over the Angels for third place in the American League West. They have a few series this month against sub-.500 teams that can help their cause. After the four-game series with the Angels, they take on the San Diego Padres next week. Seattle closes the month with two series against the Kansas City Royals and one against the Oakland Athletics.
