What would be too much to spend on a baseball ticket?
$25. $50. $75.

The average Yankee ticket is $75 per person.

1. $25 is about my limit.
I might go a little more if it were a special occasion -- a gift, say.

3. I think the most expensive single game ticket in the NEW Yankee stadium is...
Over $2,700.00

That's ONE seat for ONE game.
And I'm thinking the ex-mayor of 9-11 will be sitting in it more often than not.
There is a lot of money to be made by being the king of 9-11.

4. I'm used to paying $30.00
for a good seat @ Oakland Colliseum. I would probably go to 40, but 75 is outrageous. I wouldn't pay that for a rock concert so I certainly wouldn't pay that for baseball.

6. That's about right ($75) for a rock concert...
...if you wanna be within shouting range of the stage.

5. that average
is distorted by the insane lower field boxes. I bought seats off stubhub for about 30.

7. Last time I went to a baseball game was in the early 90s and I paid ~$5 for an
outfield bleacher seat - I wouldn't go much beyond that.
