NEW YORK -- Here's what qualifies as a bargain in New York - $495 for a seat
at a ballgame. Hoping the price is right, the New York Mets set that figure
as the average cost for the best seats next year during Citi Field's first
season. While that's a 79 percent increase over this year, it's a small
fraction of the $2,500 for the top tickets at the new Yankee Stadium.
"We have different customer bases and fan bases," Mets executive vice
president Dave Howard said. "We set our price where we think it was fair
given all considerations of the various issues."
Prices for MLB tickets are ridiculous. Baseball is supposed to be the
national pasttime. A ball game meant one could spend an afternoon
taking the kids out to something fun.
Nowadays, going out to a Mets game with the spouse and two or three
kids means spending at least $250 between tickets, parking, food, etc.
It's ridiculous.
