I used to go to Orioles games vs the Yankees with my family and about ten years ago they started premium game pricing, which included Yankees and Red Sox. Mets and Phillies started around the same time. A few years later the Pirates started doing the same thing and at that time they were one of the last teams to join in the premium pricing.
So yes, it's standard, and fees increased every year with the Orioles tickets. We paid a little bit more for the same seats every year for about five years before we stopped going.
