That's not like saying that at all. Everything is relative. For a guy with millions sitting idle I'm sure $13k for a couple hours of entertainment is nothing. For the average person, I'm pretty sure it's insane. Color me average I guess. If I ever get to the point I can whizz away $13k on a ball game, I hope I give it to someone that actually needs it.
I've been to one national championship game (Bama vs Miami). The tickets appropriately carried a 'premium', but even at that youthful age and modest income, I could easily justify it. (Can't really remember, maybe $150). Apparently the average per captia income in Georgia is just north of $31k. When a ticket price equals 42% of that, we've reach stupid levels.
My bet is that almost every seat will be filled. The crazy prices you are seeing are not what the Braves sold them for. I know several people who got mulitple tickets for at or around $400. The looney tunes pricing you are seeing on StubHub and various places are people flipping two and three hundred dollar tickets. I suspect that the prices will plummet over the next few days as people aren't buying them.
Yep. For every game.
Sure, because we gotta pay those guys their millions & millions in salaries...OK, I know most "Wouldn't pay 50 cents!", but out of curiosity I clicked on the vivid seats link from an email I got.
You are reading this correctly, standing room only seats are $915, EACH.
And 'good' seats are over $13,000, EACH.
"America's sport" is clearly not for the poors.
