NHL: the Hurricanes wanted over $100 a ticket for the finals the year after a 1 year lockout/strike. In NC where hockey is not that popular.

NFL: I pay between $80 and $100 per ticket to go to 1 or 2 Lions games a year.

MLB: I can get tickets in the RF porch for $10 to go see the Tigers.

How is the MLB overpriced when compared to other sports?

Still means you got into the park for $9. Can you go to a Browns game for $9? How about the Cavs?


I bet you can go to a Browns game for $9 in December. When I was dumb enough to have seasons, I couldn't give that shit away in December or January.

Good ol' "Skyline".

Aka what I buy and then stand in right center field.

I actually like sitting in the worst seats at Ford Field. Top row of the end zone. Great view no matter where the line of scrimmage is. But those are still $50.

Can you buy tickets at face value from the Browns for $9?

We normally seat in the lower level about halfway up in the endzone at Ford Field. RF bleachers at Comerica. If it is the Yankees I will pay more to sit at either 1st or 3rd base.

I love baseball but the product is as bad as it has ever been. Too many strikeouts, mound visits, pitching changes. Replay is awful and extremely flawed.
