I sometimes wonder about how ticket prices have zoomed upwards especially in the newer stadiums.

I have wondered how they set the price for tickets, and who pays that much.

Some people have told me that corporate types, and corporations, are buying these tickets. In the case of corporations, they can write off the cost of the tickets and skyboxes as a business expense.

I would say that, adjusted for inflation, tickets to NFL or major league baseball and NBA basketball, are far higher than they were decades ago. It has become much more difficult for ordinary families to go to a ball game.

The thieving, rent-seeking bastards don't give a tinker's damn about 'families'.
