Ticket Prices are INSANE!!

[ac78217]

i haven't been to a MLB game in about 10 years. I am going to So. Cal next month so I just looked at getting some Dodgers tickets, $550.00 each for behind the plate. WOW

I am sticking to the $12 minor league tickets

[awz50]

Ok.

Its been like this for awhile

[JMarchand1981]

Filet mignon at a good butcher is $25/pound too. It doesn’t mean that steak-ums are expensive.

Look at bleacher seats.

[TheWrightStuff]

Lots of good cheaper tickets. Behind home plate has pretty much always been the most expensive tickets. Personally I don't like sitting there. Much better along the first base line behind the dugout.

^^^^ This all day

I’m a Yankees fan, try getting seats behind home plate for under a grand. If you know the stadium though. I bet you’ll find good seats for under 50.

[Brewers3]

There are cheap tickets to get. That’s like saying it’s expensive to go to an NBA game and quoting court side tickets.

You are better off watching the game at home than sit 250 feet away from the plate.This wasn't true 25 years ago, but TV has destroyed the value of distant seats. I personally cannot stand the current "ballpark" experience with the loud music, constant prompts for rally garbage, inane walkup music... ugh. I had half season tickets at Shea Stadium in the Loge, (2nd deck) 2nd row, in 2006 for 38 bucks a seat. I could see the expressions on the players faces. That same location would cost almost triple now. Ticket prices are ridiculous for decent seats.

I can't attest to the home plate seats, but I am also a huge fan of behind the dugout seats, which can be had for a good price

[CMpunk13]

Yup...

Yum steak-ums

I don’t think 550 behind the plate in LA doesn’t seem crazy.

[ac78217]

Ok, bleacher seats are 45 I think. Last time I went to a Dodgers game they were about 12. Almost a 400% increase. Has your pay gone up 400% to offset the increase? Mine hasent

[texmcpherson]

$50 for tickets in the bleachers in Wrigley

I can get a hell of a good look at a T-Bone steak by sticking my head up a bull's ass, but I'd rather take the butcher's word for it.

Life’s too short go for behind the plate

[padremurph]

Not sure what game you’re looking at but dodger tickets can be had for pretty cheap on StubHub. Dodger stadium is massive so there’s usually plenty of seats to go around.

If you think the tickets are expensive, wait until you park and buy two beers!

[callou2131]

You can get Orioles tickets for $6 and the stadium is still empty. Better to just go see the baysox up the road and see better baseball

[unitasfan]

I've sat in almost every section of Kauffman stadium from the george Brett suite to the base line seats to the nose bleeds to the diamond club seats right behind home plate. My favorite spot in the entire stadium is behind center field by the fountains. I enjoy watching the pitching. But I would say try them all. Enjoy the ballpark experience...especially the tailgating lol

Right field or left field? Right field is all you can eat.

Also depends drastically on who they are playing and if it’s a bobble head or other giveaway game.

There’s a lot of information you are not disclosing. Many many games have $12 tickets.

Yeah, but do Baysox games allow you to see back-to-back-to-back HR in an inning?

You....do realize the price of almost everything has gone up right? You have gone shopping in the last ten or fifteen years haven't you?

[AUTaxMan]

I bought club level seats in Atlanta a few weeks ago for $95 per.

This is awesome.

[ucLAkers]

$550 to sit by Mary Hart and bag of bones Larry...? Been that price since 2005. Only cheap seats are all you can eat RF or LF Pantoneville Pavillion.
And its Socal ....not So. Cal
