In an offseason filled with historic change for the Broncos, the team will keep at least one thing status quo.
Ticket prices.
With a weak economy around the nation and the team coming off its third consecutive playoff miss, Broncos tickets will cost season-ticket holders as well as single-game buyers the same as last year.
The team expects to mail renewal notices in the coming weeks.
"They are going to stay the same," Broncos chief operating officer Joe Ellis confirmed Monday.
Ellis said some club seat premiums - those seat holders pay a fee and then buy tickets - might be increased for seats in which contracts run out this year, but ticket prices will remain the same.
After an 8-8 finish that included losing a three-game lead in the AFC West with three games to play, Broncos owner Pat Bowlen fired coach Mike Shanahan and the bulk of the coaching staff.
Josh McDaniels was hired to replace Shanahan earlier this month.
The Broncos have only one playoff win since winning the Super Bowl to close the 1998 season.
Since that Super Bowl win, the Broncos have increased ticket prices seven times. After the 2007 season, they raised prices 3 percent to 10 percent, depending on the location of the seats.
Last season, the Broncos, according to figures they and other teams have compiled, were above the league's average price in the lower bowl of Invesco Field at Mile High, about average in the middle level and below the average in the upper level.
Staying steady
The Broncos will not increase ticket prices for next season.
Lower bowl, sideline: $110
Lower bowl, corners: $95
Lower bowl plaza/end zone: $77
Upper bowl, sideline: $63
Upper bowl, corners: $58
Upper bowl, end zone: $42
