Either a deliberate attempt at negative spin or lazy reporting.

"Tennessee athletics director Danny White and school officials announced their plan to “modernize” ticket pricing elements for Vols’ home football games. It saw some tickets in less desirable areas of the stadium remain at an de facto flat rate but also dramatically increased the cost of other areas and essentially dismissed the school’s “grandfather-clause” season tickets program, which had been a staple in many families for generations. In some instances, the sum tickets cost went from a standard $1,000 donation plus the face value of the tickets along the West sideline to a price point around $5,000 per ticket."

Ticket prices in "less desirable" areas were almost universally cut in price, not allowed to remain the same. Premium areas including the new party deck were the only areas to "dramatically" increase.
