Spring Training Games?

[Mitchrapp]

Anyone in Florida or Arizona go? I recently moved to Arizona and thought "all right ST games"...

Cheapest tickets I can find, 20 bucks a piece, for two people plus $10 service charge and minimum, bare minimum $14.95 shipping cost - total $65 for two people to go to a freaking ST game? Fuck that shit..no idea if you have to pay for parking.

Damn that's high..

I lived in Arizona up until 2004. I remember going to Tucson for about $10 a person. Kino Veterans Memorial Stadium (formerly Tucson Electric Park) WAS host to the D-Backs and White Sox Spring Training games and Hi-Corbet was for Colorado.

I am sure Phoenix tickets were more expensive back then, as they are now. I do not remember having to pay for parking.

This is the SW valley even, Goodyear park. I just didn't expect prices to be that high and I certainly didn't expect the shipping cost to be that much. I was really looking forward to it..

I went to Lakeland one year and it was reasonable, but that was a long time ago...and Travis Fryman was talking about wild boar hunting with people.

I have gone the last couple of years when I lived 10 minutes from the Rays Spring Training stadium. I think tickets were $14 for lawn seats. It was cheaper when the not as popular teams came through.

To me it's all too expensive. I only go to one Tiger game a year becuase I think it is a rip off!

I remember paying 50 cents to sit in the upper deck bleachers @ Tiger Stadium, and attending "real" doubleheaders. Those days and the ballpark itself are "long gone" just as listening to Ernie calling Tigers games on the radio are. Paying for live entertainment and associated costs is a budget-buster for many nowadays.

I remember when I was about 20 years old and they still had the $5 bleacher seats. Good times!

Cabrera 22m,Verlander 20m, Kinsler 16m, Sanchez 15m, Hunter 14m, V-mart 12m, Nathan 9m Just an example of what your paying for.

That's why I don't go....I just watch them on my crystal clear TV in the comfort of my own man cave. $1 beers and I don't have to wait to use the bathroom!

I remember 4 dollar bleachers, mid 80's. They had some sort of fiasco our there once and they closed them for awhile, when they reopened they were $2.75.

Of course I also remembering movies .80c, gas under a buck and 1c stamps.
