Like I care if a bunch of ticket brokers are mad because the Royals are going to price them out of profits.
I guess they think the demand is there. This kind of stuff always makes me wonder if KC could support an NHL or NBA team, because the tickets aren't always cheap.
Although admittedly the article took a dark turn when the broker said you take advantage of the fairweather fans who sit in the upper deck. I like sitting in the upper deck, so that guy can get bent. There are just as many fairweather fans sitting in the lower levels and club areas, if not more.
Really though, the only angle not addressed in this is that the Royals will not have home field at any point unless they make it to the World Series. That's not necessarily true for any of the other teams on that chart. I wonder if they're trying to maximize profits with the idea they might only have a couple home playoff games if things don't go well. I'd also like to see a bigger chart with more teams... like St. Louis for instance, I can't believe we're charging much more than them. I'm sure the percentage increase is probably much higher because Cards tickets definitely cost more than Royals tickets during the season.
