Daniel Duran's questions to Madison Square Garden Sports (MSGS) leadership • Q4 2024

Question

Daniel Duran from Morgan Stanley questioned the decision to not raise season ticket prices for renewing holders after a successful season and asked about the expected implications for revenue and adjusted operating income (AOI) in fiscal 2025.

Answer

COO Jamaal Lesane explained the decision as a long-term strategy to reward loyal season ticket holders. He clarified that the company will still opportunistically price new season ticket packages, individual, and group tickets. As a result, he stated that MSG Sports believes it has the opportunity to drive 'modest ticket revenue growth' in fiscal 2025 and will reevaluate pricing annually.
