■ Informatio­n: 1-800-RAIDERS tickets to watch the Raiders in Oakland. The organizati­on has raised prices for the 2017 season by as much as 50 percent, the CBS affiliate in San Francisco reported.

According to the team website, season tickets range from $300 in the end zone to $1,725 at midfield.

A form is on the Raiders’ site for those interested in getting on the season-ticket waiting list.

Raiders owner Mark Davis said during the news conference that fans who already had purchased 2017 season tickets could get a refund in light of Monday’s vote.

Two NFL teams relocated over the past year, with the Rams leaving St. Louis for Los Angeles and the Chargers departing San Diego for Carson, California. Unlike what the Raiders will do, both teams moved immediatel­y and priced tickets at considerab­ly different levels.

The Rams sold all 70,000 season tickets for their initial season last year, pricing them from $300 to $1,750. They will play at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, which seats more than 90,000, until moving to a new stadium in Inglewood, California, in two years.

The Chargers will join the Rams at the time but for the upcoming season will play in the StubHub Center, a soccer venue that, at about 30,000 seats, will be the smallest in the NFL. Season tickets are priced from $700 to $3,750. Contact Mark Anderson at manderson@reviewjour­nal. com or 702-387-2914. Follow @markanders­on65 on Twitter.
