That's one thing that really pisses me off. Growing up in NYC, you could always go to a game for a few bucks and have fun. I checked a few days ago about getting season tickets for this coming season in the new stadium, and surprise surprise, ticket prices went up. Again. It really is getting insulting how high ticket prices are getting. Every game has been sold out every season for like the last 6 years. So what do the Yankees do about the increase in ticket demand? Cut like 14,000 seats out of the new stadium. Brilliant. Demand goes up, supply goes down, prices skyrocket. To sit in the nosebleed section of the upper deck is now like $60 a ticket. It used to be $25 in 2004. Want good seats in the new stadium? Like behind home plate somewhere? Well, the Yankees are now doing what football teams are doing with tickets, for all tickets within like a 60 degree angle behind home plate, regardless how high up the seats are, you now have to buy a multi-year ticket license. So if you want one seat, you have to buy like a 5 year license, plus like $400 a ticket. So it comes out to like $180,000 for one seat. It's looking more and more like it's going to be Citi Field for me next year.
