I saw something about season ticket holders that has had the same seats for 40 years. He showed his invoice for tickets in the 70's. $2.00 a seat per seat for 4 season tickets. He just received an invoice for next years season tickets for the same seats in the new stadium. $2500.00..

Not to bad huh? Oh wait, did I mention that's per seat. Not too bad. Oh wait did I mention per GAME!!!!!!!!!!

Oh wait, did I mention free food and free parking to go along with these seats. WOW, those are great perks.

Invoice total for this 40 year fan. $810,000.00 for 1 season.

He refuses to pay. Were do I sign up? I can't wait to see all the lucky families that get to go to the new stadium this year. Let me tell you where they can shove these tickets. The average person can no longer afford baseball and I hope they price themselves right out of business. AAA ball will be the average fan with the average incomes only alternative. The Major Leagues is filled with over paid .200 hitters than have no idea how lucky the are. Most couldn't dig ditches any better than they hit. I blame the owners and the fans that continue to support an inferior product. I can't wait till the next strike when these pompous players state that they can't feed their families on $1 million a year. Aww, I feel for them. Now back to the regular childish discussions.
