I'm going to a Boston Red Sox game in June with my son in which the tickets are $350 each. Right behind the Red Sox dugout. I never dreamed that tickets would be this expensive. When I was a teenager, I used to buy a bleacher ticket for $1.75 and for another $1.00, I'd get what was called a "grandstand pass" in which I could go into the grandstand and either stand in the back or find an empty seat. Usually in those cases, I'd end up behind the dugout by the 7th inning as most of the businessmen would duck out by then.

I figure I'll spend $900 to $1,000 that day once parking, food and dinner afterwards is factored in. I was at a Boston restaurant last night with my wife (Chart House on Long Wharf) and we spent over $300 all told.

It is getting insane out there.

Insane, I'll give you insane.

Washington Nationals seating behind home plate $330

and they haven't done anything yet (empty each game, looks great on TV)

Not insane enough to prevent you from paying though

“I figure I’ll spend $900 to $1,000 that day once parking, food and dinner afterwards is factored in. I was at a Boston restaurant last night with my wife (Chart House on Long Wharf) and we spent over $300 all told.”

Wow. I took the girlfriend, her son, my son and brother out to dinner last night a local redneck chicken joint and ate until we could explode. $46 total. After that we went to a local short track inside a stadium and watched 6 races plus a demo derby, drinks—$55 for all of us. The cultural shock value of sitting in the beer section with the redneck drunks was priceless.

Anyway, left at 6:00pm, didn’t get home until 1:00am spent $101 total.
