I can get Marlins Opening Day tickets for about $30. Thank you, supply and demand.

Bit the bullet and got Dodgers tickets for tomorrow. Should be fun. At least now I'll be able to say I was there for an opening day.

I also notice prices changing for the same exact seats for the Rockies depending on opponent.

I know its nice to order tickets ahead of time but seriously if you go to the Coliseum day of you'll get some pretty cheap tickets guaranteed. I used to live in SF and thought the same thing: why are these so expensive? But if you buy in person you don't pay the fee obviously but also the prices get way cheaper as it gets closer to game time. And you can comfortably bet the game won't sell out.

I live in Cincinnati and it's not the ticket prices that keep me away from Opening Day, it's the always guaranteed crappy weather (either rain or snow).

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.
