It's crazy! How do they think folks can afford to go to games? At least baseball is still affordable.
Factor in the hassle of finding a decent parking spot, the cost of tickets, hot dogs, popcorn, beer, lining up to pee at halftime, being surrounded by drunk morons, freezing your ass off, etc., and you quickly realize that it’s just not worth it, especially if your team sucks and looks like they’ll continue to suck for years and years.
The vast majority of the games are sold out. That tells me that the ticket have a reasonable market price, even if they are above what I would pay. If anything the tickets might be underpriced with that many sold out games.
I've only gone once and that was for free because I got a ticket from a season ticket holder who couldn't go.
