So it’s a signal to the world that his wife doesn’t trust him after 45 years?

He said his company spent about $200,000 on Cubs tickets last year.


Off topic, but, this sums up some of what’s wrong with sports nowadays. Corporations are buying prime seats to sports events, and charging them off as a business expense.

Ticket prices rise based on what the market will bear. Part of ticket price inflation has been that individual fans are not buying the box seats and season tickets, but companies are.

Just an observation. Flame away. Just noting that adjusted for inflation, tickets to ball games cost a heck of a lot more than they did back in my day.

"Yes, yes, yes, we are going to win the World Series this year," he said. "It's destiny."

Don't know about that, but one thing I am sure of is that (White Sox fan) Obama will suddenly become the biggest Cubs fan in the world if they do.

It must be fun to watch a ballgame from seats like his.

Pirate fan here.

One of my rants is watching a Buccos game and seeing the people DIRECTLY behind the plate texting/reading their cell phones. Or leaving “early to beat the traffic.” Those seats are on my bucket list...the ushers would have to come down and tap me on the shoulder and say “ma’am, game over you gotta leave.”

Same w/hockey. Watch the game!!! You have the best seats EVER!

Yep, a huge part of it. I stopped going to ballgames years ago because of it. Even seats in the bleachers and nosebleed sections are way overinflated. I'd rather spend $110 per season for the MLB package and watch from my own living room. And drink beer that costs less than $10 a glass.

A weird thing about buying tickets is how they fluctuate especially closer to the date

Like plane tickets

I’ve bought club tickets early to find them half price close to game day when ticket sellers dump what they held back if demand drops

It can be vexing

Yeah, I’ve noticed the same.

Been a while since I paid $20 for a box seat at Dodger Stadium. ...and $5 for parking. Back when the O’Malleys owned the team.

Most people sitting in the corporate seats don’t give a rip about the game. Especially in L.A. But up here in Seattle as well.

I got to sit in that equivalent seat at the Houston Astros stadium. It was a rush; my feet were actually lower than home plate, and there’s free ice cream too.

******************************
Yep. My company had a corporate suite at the AACenter in Dallas, where the Mavericks and Stars play. In 2001, the VP offered me a ticket to a Stars game where about 20 (+ some spouses) of us would go that night. ....Nice place with couches, easy chairs, stocked fridge with beer and sodas, warming trays with brats, etc. Only me and one other person bothered to step out the door and sit in the seats overlooking the ice rink, where we ate and drank beer. ......All of the others were on their knees kissing up to the VP and Director inside and never watched any of the game.

I have never had hockey tickets directly behind the plate.

“Who is the “The Pink Hat Guy””

The only people that I know who wear pink on a regular basis are football players (incredible what some people will do to earn a few bucks), and it is off-season.
