The Orioles Owner gets it: $0 tickets, $1.50 Hot Dogs, $4 Beers...

[Liquid]

Pro Sports has priced out the regular fan and has been this way for a very long time in major cities.

A huge chunk of Knicks and lakers fans have never gone to a game because they actually get a better view at home than they do in the stadium because they can't afford Jack/Spike tickets.

Sounds like a place for broke nikkas to congregate. Wouldn’t be caught dead in that stadium

You sound like a moron

 

[threattonature]

The park is nice as all hell too.

Fenway, bleacher tickets start at almost $40 each, so a family of 4 got you for $160 in the door at a minimum. No parking for under $40 either, so if your not inside the city, your $200 to get there and park.

No food allowed, no drinks allowed. $9 bud lights, $5.50 hot dogs.

One damn game is running you $300 no matter what.

Yup it's a matter of chasing short money with higher ticket prices or chasing the long money by lowering ticket prices but getting kids hooked which in the long term will help grow the game.

The Mercedez Benz stadium pioneered this.

Alotta these teams are following THAT model.

And this is how you create fans and actually sell merchandise when your son or daughter wants a hat or a shirt and you actually have money to spend

Like, think about this for a minute:

You got a young family, its a Tuesday in the summer.

You can buy a cheap adult ticket and all your kids under 9 get free ones. You can bring your own food with you and anything you want to grab for yourself is like, 7-11 reasonable priced.

Id be doing that once a week all summer. You can't tell me your kids wouldn't become fans of that team for life too.

 

[Listen]

No shyt. You bring your kid to games and it costs you like $30 every time you go? You'll be grabbing that Adam Jones jersey for him by the end of the summer, no doubt.

Real shyt. I nearly went to a Sunday afternoon game in April 2012 when the Knicks were hosting the heat. Tickets were $148 before taxes and fees. That’s for nosebleed seats and it’s only gotten worse. I don’t want to think what decent seats cost against a good team these days.

Somewhat, but baseball attendance if your not Boston/St. Louis or the Cubs is awful and going down the tubes.

The average age of a baseball fan attending a game is like 57 or some shyt and its expensive as hell in most stadiums for you and the fam to go see a game.

If I was a breh in the Baltimore area and had a kid or two and didn't have crazy bank, I would become a huge Orioles fan and take me kids regularly. 3-4 hours of entertainment in a nice, clean stadium, where your kids are free, your ticket was $20 and you can bring in your own snacks and shyt??? Oh, I want a beer, its $4 like any regular bar? I could be going to games with my kids for $30 and shyt. I'd become real loyal.

shyt I be trying to figure out how my brother be going to these mets games in their new stadium like a $32 a ticket on avg...

I’ve seen yankees tickets for $10 on stub hub

 

[ORDER_66]

I’ve seen yankees tickets for $10 on stub hub

These stubhub prices arent bad I was just on there... they are very reasonable...

But it's funny wasnt there a story that yankees tickets are not being honored if brought through stubhub like they was actively trying to stop that?!

 

[GoldenGlove]

White Sox should do this

 

[Nintendough]

He is crazy like a fox. They will get thirsty and hungry, they will spend money.

 

[tremonthustler1]

All that will go away if they win. To me this is a reflection of years of their fans not showing up because their owner didn’t wanna spend and when he finally ponies up he gave Ubaldo Jimenez $50 mil and Chris Davis $150 mil.

America values the fukk out of sports. What the Knicks and Rangers do at MSG is robbery but they do it because people shell out the $$$ for it. Why change? For who? For what? These kids ain’t loyal.

What the Birdbrehs think about this?

Because you have 80 plus games, baseball has always been a free territory to experiment with ticket prices and promotions. I feel like you would have to work pretty hard not to find a reasonable deal at an MLB game.

They were influenced by the MBS on pricing for sure. But aint no NFL team letting anybody (even kids) in for free lol
