That’s nice, Evan, but I’ve heard there are even better deals to be had. Like Field dugout and infield level seats for $60-$100/each. Now that seems like a deal to me. If anyone has tips for scoring a great deal…please share or send em my way. I’m trying to pick up seats to a weekend game this summer to take my newborn to his first Yankees game.

Through StubHub, I paid about $110 total (tax and fee included) to sit in the 1st row of Terrace Dugout by 1st base for the 2nd game at the new Stadium. The Yanks won 6-5, and I enjoyed myself, though I spent about $160 total, including parking and food.

Last week, waited until Tuesday evening to buy a Main Dugout seat in front of the mound on the 1st base side for a little less than $70 total for Thursday night’s 8-6 loss to the Rays. I didn’t enjoy that as much. I got to the Stadium at 4:45, and as I was there early enough, used to extra $40 to buy a nice somewhat overpriced dinner at the Hard Rock. I spent about $140 total.

I still enjoyed myself, but not as much. After all, the Yanks lost.

When both these things start to happen, in full force, will it back the teams – like the Yankees – into a corner where they will have to drop ticket prices in the future – rather than keep them where they are, or, raise them?

Only the higher end, I don’t think the Yanks (or any other team for that matter) are having a problem selling out say the bleachers or upper deck…

But it’s good to see market forces at work. And I learned something new today, as I had no idea that scalping in NYS was legal.

sounds great to me, i hope noone buys season tickets next year so I have a better oppurtunity down the line when i can actually afford it
