9 percent increase in tickets prices announced. No idea what a hot dog now costs. The two seats I once had for Saturday games, section 27, box 153, row HH, seats 5 and 6 were $40.00 each in 2000. Looking over my old tickets you can see the prices rise from $40.00 / $50.00 / $55.00 / $60.00 and finally $70.00 in 2004, the last year I purchased tickets for these seats. They are now $85.00. Amazing. I do not think I could afford such an expense these days.

Their inability to build a new ballpark is going to haunt them for a long time. They should have been able to build a 45-48K stadium that would have provided 8-10K reasonably priced seats. Instead they will top out at 38K and that means they keep raising prices.

I will be curious to see how they will deal with ticket prices as the payoll comes down in the next two years. I estimate that at least $70 million will be subtracted from what they started with in the beginning of 2007.
