That's correct. What I don't understand is why the Season 1 pack is $10 cheaper than Season 2. There's 22 tables in season 1 and I think only 19 in season 2.

The Season 1 tables are older than the Season 2 tables. When Season 3 is released, Season 2 will probably cost as much as Season 1.
Get it?

I'm pretty sure pack 20 is part of season 2 and that would mean no cost

When you buy a season pass you get all the table packs that are inclusive in that season. For example: Season 2 is packs 11 - 20. Season 3 starts on Pack 21 and will probably go to pack 30.
Warning Speculation Ahead: Season 1 is possibly cheaper because the first 4 tables were one table pack originally. That was the core pack. When TPA was first released you had to buy the core pack and then season 1 was everything after those 4 tables. It is just recently that that has changed and season one became everything before pack 11. There are also less pro tables in Season 1.

Yeah, but there are still 10 Table Packs for Season 1. Same number as Season 2.

Perhaps they're just basing it on number of tables minus core tables then. :/
Season 1 is 18 and has 6 Pro Tables
Season 2 is 19 and has, so far, 10 Pro Tables.

Yeah maybe, but the number of pro tables has nothing to do with the price for non pro season pack.

but do you know if it has nothing to do with the amount of work required?
I think it's a combination of the fact that the Season One tables are "older" along with the fact that Season Two includes more tables that have "premium" pricing due to the licensing expenses. I mean, a lot of people have had access to the older tables for quite a while now, and I could see some people balking at paying all over again for them for the same price. Cutting the price a bit makes re-buying the stuff most enthusiasts have already played the hell out of a much more attractive proposition.

The pro tables already cost extra, so that shouldn't make a difference on the season pricing. Either way, season 1 has several more tables than season 2 and it's cheaper. That's fine if it's just that it's older (and that would be great if Season 2 could get bumped down to $30 when 3 comes out because I feel like $40 is actually a little steep). Plus, I've already bought all of season 1 on PS3/Vita, so while I don't totally mind rebuying for Steam, I do wish there was some way we could get some kind of early adopter flash sale since PS3/Vita players have been getting backstabbed with a laggy experience on PS3 and a rather graphically poor Vita iteration (And don't even get me started on 360 players, though I know that's not FarSight's fault).
