Those prices are for individuals.  The print price of $299 is right and I just looked into the online for institutions.  It’s $1012.

I was just curious, as we don't subscribe to this anymore, but the "thread"
interested me, so I went to the Scientific American website.

The print magazine can be bought for $24.95/year, and
the Digital version is closer to $40/year.

I'd check w/your subscription agent, and find out where the mis-communication is.

We also received a price increase notice, but our price is not going up near that much.  It looks like it just doubled.

Hello,
 
We just received a notice from our subscription agent that Scientific 
American was raising their print subscription price for 2010 from $41.91 
(which includes the agent's service charge) to $299.00  Has anyone else 
received this outrageous increase notice? 
 
We are in the process of contacting the publisher to find out what might 
be the cause of this dramatic price rise.
 
Stephen
