MLB fans hilariously roasted ballpark's affordability

You may or may not have somebody (or a team of somebodies) actively attempting to keep you from being efficient at your job.

[SETHZILLA!]

Sounds right, Boston is wicked expensive.

I see what you did there. 😏

You got me. I just think it’s a rip off and made up some numbers. $500 mortgages aren’t unheard of.

Players' salaries driving entry prices?
Batting 300 out of a thousand might be great in baseball, but if I performed my job that efficiently, I wouldn't have it for long.

A Giants ticket can be had for $40.

I thought this accounting looked fishy, but current pricing thru the Giants and ballpark website was pretty spot on to the OP spreadsheet.

Anything special about your ticket?

Now I remember why I don’t go to pro sports events. It’s just too damn expensive for what you get. I purchased two round trips tickets to Santiago, Chile last year for the price a family pays for an outing. Yeah, it was a mistake fare but the memories will last much longer than a ballgame.

That's a cheap ass mortgage payment.

There is definitely some trickery going on with the numbers. I'd like to see how they came up with average ticket price.

I go to a few Red Sox games a year and the only way you are parking for less than $40 is if you park a mile away at the Prudential Center and walk. The last time I parked there it was $20 if you showed your game ticket while paying. Or you park outside the city and take a train in. That would cost $10 and then $5 for the train and a 30 min ride each way.

When I went in April parking was $60-80 at most of the lots close to Fenway.

Here is a quick breakdown of what I spent in April.

Ticket, $100
Parking, $80 split 4 ways, $20 each
Eating at restaurant outside of park before game, $50, this was a burger and 3 beers
New hat from team gift shop, $40
Beer inside Fenway, $12.50 each, I had 4, $50. This was for craft beer. I believe domestic beers were $10. Mixed drinks were $12.50 as well.
Bag of peanuts, I think it was $5
Dinner after the game, $30

Right on Overland St it's 60 bucks on game day. I've been working on a jobsite on Overland street and I park there daily. The lot is literally to the right of 20 Overland St.

IMO it comes down to capitalistic culture expecting infinite growth and profit margins, but thats not realistic. Corporations need to realize their growth caps somewhere rather than paying their work force the same while raising the price of their products or services to further expand profits.

I totally agree with your point.

[BrickHaus]

Fair enough. Im honestly surprised by the Euro.

Those numbers are not right. Last time I went to a Jays game it was $10/beer, definitely not $4.33.
My tickets were free but without a special deal I don't think you're getting a ticket in the nosebleeds for less than $80, let alone an "average" price of $32.

Are these prices from the 80's and just changed it to claim 2022?

Jays tickets are cheap. I just looked and you can sit in the lower section behind home plate for $56 CAD. It looks like they are still doing loonie dog nights as well still. A similar ticket would cost you over $150 USD at Fenway.

Nope, the people wanted outdoor baseball. For better or worse. Lol
