Season ticket price going up after 2 payments were made

In August 2002, I received an invoice from a local sport team for my 2003 season ticket. The total amount was $995. 25% of that was due and I paid $248.75 followed by another payment of $239.66 for the November invoice.

In winter, the team announced it was moving to a smaller stadium. According to officials quoted in the local press, the motive was to find a stadium whose capacity would better match the average attendance at home games. Figures released by the team said that their stadium rental fee would go from $15,000 a game to $1 per spectator (max capacity not to exceed 10,000 people). Also, the team would keep most revenues from concession and parking, unlike at its previous home. Overall, it seemed a good deal financially.

When I received the next invoice in February, I was therefore surprised to notice that the price of my package had gone up to $1,350 without any warning. Furthermore, I was also to pay $180 for VIP self-parking, whereas the $995 I signed up for included valet parking. I'm now faced with my package price going from $995 to $1,535 after making two payments. I believe that, since I have already made two payments as requested, I ought to receive said package for $995, despite the price increase.
