It’s sad how much you have to pay to see a professional ballgame, IMO. My son, his wife & the grandkids have been to many ballparks over the years. My daughter & her husband also. Lately, not so much due to the cost. I think the price you pay to watch is now why Banana ball is so popular these days? Tickets for games are, idk, like $10 a ticket, or something close to that. The Savannah Banana’s are so popular, you have to sign up on the waiting list for tickets! Pretty sure both my kids have been signed up for awhile now....waiting for a game to be played close to home. I hope they get to see one of the games sometime soon?
You’re not an $11 billion industry charging $20 a ticket. Major league sports are now major. And expensive.
Dang! For spring exhibition games, no less!
I was in Florida during spring training when I was 19 and we went to a couple of games. I don’t remember what we paid, but I’m sure it was only a few bucks.
I remember in the 80s we could get $2 seats in the “reefer rafters” at the Astrodome for Astros games. We’d hang out there until about the fourth inning, and then slip down and watch the rest of the game from field level seats, often right behind the dugout.
Looks like plenty of tix tomorrow at $22 a pop:
... and don't watch it on TV
And don’t buy anything from any company that advertises during televised games.
I doubt that. 40 years ago was Magic and the Lakers vs Bird and the Celtics , some of the best basketball of all time.
