No thread jack at all my man, sports ticket prices are certainly part of the conversation. I\'ve been over this before, but I don\'t think Red Sox games are a good value either. Anything in front of the overhang is out of my price range outright. The upper grandstands sections 10-30 are good seats too, but at $50 I don\'t think they\'re worth it for an average game. (Not to mention that they\'re all but impossible to get at face value anyhow.) That\'s just me though, most people think they\'re fine. In fact, a lot of people I know are happy to pay over face to go to the game they want. Me, instead of 2 or 3 regular season games, I\'ll save the $200 I would have spent on those and use it for a game 7. But that\'s just me.
And Yankee Stadium...my god...it\'s the stadium\'s first year. The first year of a new stadium is always a sellout in any city because it\'s equal parts ballgame and tourist attraction. Cleveland of all places pulled off a 5.5 year sellout streak when they opened Jacobs Field. So how does New York play to a half-empty ballpark every night? It just looks awful.
