I was just curious. Yankee tickets for home opener against Cleveland start at $230.00...per seat....those are the cheap seats....

sounds like **** to me.

I used to love to go watch the Penguins play.....now the tickets are through the roof.

Simple solution........watch it on TV......which you are also paying out the nose for.

Yankees suck!!! go Red Sox!!!

-Baldy-

YEAH RED SOX!!!!

You don't have to buy tickets to be a yankee, just move north of the Mason-Dixon line :o)~~~~~~~

Pittsburgh area is above the MDL, but very few here consider themselves Yankees.

Best seats are something like $2650 a game! Absolute madness. Season tickets for a pair would be close to half a million bucks at that rate.

The Yankees represent everything bad about the game I love.

Holy crap Carmine...I actually agree with Pac on this one #7 (except the love thing) hehe

I don't pay face value for my FL Panthers season tickets. I have two seats, each with a face value of $148. I pay about $65 per ticket. Additionally, I get all pre-season games and another dozen or so bonus tickets (all club level) that I can give away. I assume other pro clubs have similar savings for season ticket holders.

#9 I've been to Florida three times. Once in the Summer. Most people around there would probably pay that kind of money just to sit somewhere where it is cooler!

"The Yankees represent everything bad about the game I love."

And then the Red Sox stole their business model.

Baseball has the worst salary regulation in all of professional sports.

... it's my prediction that within 5yrs ... or less ... we're going to be seeing a LOT of changes in our sports industry ...

... players will be getting $500k - $2mil contracts vs. $24mil contracts ...

... or they won't play ... the economy will NOT support their greed for much longer ...

... the 'old days' of Fenway Park just might return soon enough after all ...

#11 Agreed on both points. Except that there is no salary regulation. The luxury tax only applies to those for whom money seems to be no object.

I must say, as much as I detest what A-Rod turned out to be this year, finally admitting steroid use, I love the fact that it happened while he's still a Yankee and after they agreed to a $275 million contract. Suckers!

Re #9, STILL, 65$ is alot of money for soccer tickets......

I don't care who you are... that right there was funny

Used to collect baseball cards. Then the strike of 81 happened and I said WTF? When it happened again in 94 I said FU.

Wilmington Blue Rocks (Minor League) are $9 for the best seats in the house right on the edge of the field and most of the time you can find a BOGO deal so it becomes $4.50. No cost for parking. Beer is still $5 a pint, but it's local microbrew. Plus you can get a huge soda and still bring a flask if ya need to. You get a great show that doesn't kill your wallet. F major leagues.

Don't care if you pay me $250, I'm not going to a Yankee game.

delarob the t-bones here are great fun to watch

I was curious. I wanted to see what Yankee tickets were selling for. I knew they would be outrageous, but I wasn't prepared for over $200. Maybe this is just for opening day, because I didn't search further.

I'm not a Yankee fan bay any stretch, but I watched a special report on the new stadiums opening this year for the NY teams, Giants, Mets, Yankees. Alot of their long time regular game attending fans are bailing because of the PSL requirements. One Yankee fan had season tickets handed down by his father and grandfather. He took his three sons for the last 10 years and now he had to give them up because the personal seat license for his 4 season tickets would cost over $32,000. That's not including the costs of the tickets. That's just to get the right to buy the tickets. Same with the new Giants stadium.

I'll tell ya, the game is for the rich. I live near Safeco. If I want to take my wife see the Mariners play, it would be almost $80 for two tickets and $20 to park. $16 for 4 hotdogs, $12 for a beer and a soda.

Going to a major league baseball game is no longer an option for us. Sad. I used to love to go to games.

Yankees suck
