Such a Deal

Yankees slash ticket prices from absurd to insane.....
The full-season Legends Suite and ticket licenses priced at $2,500 per regular-season game in sections 15A-B, 24B and 25 will be reduced to $1,250 per game. Those who have already purchased those seats will receive their choice of a refund or credit. The full-season $1,000 seats will drop to $650 per game with a similar policy.

Those who have purchased full-season $2,500 seats in sections 16-24A, Legends Suite seats for $1,250, $850, $600 and $500 will receive a specified number of complimentary seats. The same goes for future purchases of such seats.

The Delta Sky 360 suites in Sections 218A-222 will be reduced from $750 to $550 per game, with refunds/credits for those who already purchased.

In order to encourage people to buy the $325 tickets in sections 115-125, fans will receive a specific number of complimentary tickets along with their purchases.

Ain't them Yankees working class? $325 for the cheap seats that are priced so even an unemployed plumber with a family of two can afford them. Plumbers have a spare $1K in their jeans at all times, don't they? Oh, and did I mention the hot dogs and beer? Cheep cheep cheep ($12 beer is in a 24 oz cup making it six buks a bottle in the store), the variety of food seems near endless, and the prices make the very good food a steal.

Nice post.
But even at those prices, the Yankees still have the No.1 attendance record by bar:

No problem paying those prices.
