also, it's bull**** to do that to the casual fan. I'm not wasting my time "researching" a royals game. Are they doing this with ALL seats or just the "good" seats? I AM casual go the the game on a whim fan. This makes me less interested.

I should demand a refund for every game I paid for where they started Hoch or Kyle Davies...

The Royals handled the All-Star game last year very well from all accounts.

The Nashville Predators have done this and it works well, but now that the team is tanking we will see how it really works.

You should know by now that all major sports thrive on "screw you" to the fans...

Pretty true, at least for the ones that actually want to buy tickets and go to the games. With as much $ as teams get for TV revenue now, it's almost like dealing with actual fans in person is more of a inconvenience and they don't much care if people just stay home and watch.

I used to enjoy watching Cardinals games in Milwaukee. I could get great seats for cheap, and we'd get a hotel room and make a weekend out of it. Even though it was farther to drive, it was cheaper and less of a hassel than going to games at Wrigley (plus far fewer reeruns to endure). Then the Brewers started charging extra for "premium" games, and pretty much any time the Cards were in town was a premium game. I don't remember the exact price difference, but it was dramatic.
The result? Well, I haven't been back to Milwaukee since. I'd just as soon drive the couple of extra hours to St. Louis and watch them play there. Greedy cheesehead pricks can kiss my ass. |
