Exactly.

Had people taken advantage of ridiculously low prices during the regular season, he may not have felt the need to have such an increase should the make the playoffs.

The K was at 56% capacity this year. For a fanbase that has been begging for good baseball, that's pretty poor.

Two plus decades of bad baseball can lead to rather cynical fan base.

Yeah well there you go. And if the playoffs started today they'd have home field, so that's a potential extra game.

That's fine, but don't bitch when you get what you want (playoff baseball) and how much it costs.

I don't know where this article gets it's prices as well. Diamond club is 90 bucks crown seats 190 dugout box 55 field 39 field plaza 30 upper tank 20-15

You're right, it is supply and demand. The demand will support these prices because the supply has been non-existent for 20 years. David Glass got into an industry where he can fail year after year after year and then when he finally does something right, he gets to charge MORE because of how miserably he's performed in the past. I guess he really is a great businessman to get into a racket like that, but he's still a huge piece of shit.

Easy to say when you are fan of a team that is routinely in the post season. St. Louis has earned the credibility to charge as much they want.

A 28 year post season draught leaves the Kansas City franchise a little light in the credibility department. Show us you are going to contend with the big boys on a constant basis, and then charge big boy prices.

That's what I was wondering as well. It states that the seats right behind the dugout are $39 during the regular season. That is absolutely false.

LOL. Absolutely no chance.

Keep in mind that these are not the cheapest seats they're talking about. They're talking about a seat that normally costs $39. So, the cheap seats are normally $14 (roughly 1/3 of that), so the cheap seats in the playoff games should be much less than the prices given in the article.

If you build it, they will come.

Scalpers will be selling for twice that.

wazu 09-21-2013 12:49 PM

Honestly, I want them to charge through the nose. People will pay it, and it creates a financial incentive to make sure you return to the playoffs next year. (Beyond the incentive of an entire summer of good crowds.)

21k sold for a beautiful fridy night, team 2.5 back, battling anther contender. Our fans have reason to be mad about the past but not this year

I'll believe it if Glass ponies up to keep Santana. Otherwise he'll just stick that money in his pocket, like he's done the last decade.

BTW: My main problem with this pricing is he's sticking it to his most loyal base, the STH's. If he wants to rape the general public, OK... but he should have given his most loyal customers a much better break. He'd still make money hand over fist, and would buy some goodwill with his base.

The Royals won't make the playoffs... my guess is well end up 1 game back in WC.
