The Yankees are privately owned and can (and should) charge whatever the market will bear. Yeah? Who paid for the stadium? If the Yankees paid for it 100%, then I agree with you. If the taxpayers chipped in, you're wrong.

Taxpayers paying for sports stadium does not transfer ownership of private sporting teams to the fans, nor does it require that the Yankee's owners charge less than the maximum price that the public is willing to pay.
So, you may not like being socked twice for a new stadium and for expensive tickets, but you are going to have to learn to live with it.
