A) looks like they've done away with the STM single-game presale.  They went out to everybody right after schedule release announcement

2) Apparently they're trying to ease the sticker shock for tix in the new stadium by jacking up prices this season.  WOW!  For the opener, a single seat from the team in my section is priced at $557 + tax.  Middle of upper deck is over $300.  This isn't even resale.

iii) Ridiculous 

It’s disgusting.  Used to have family friendly prices back in the day (for anything sports/entertainment) but it’s way out of bounds now.

Prices will reflect what the market will bear. If they don't sell the prices will go down

Can I afford the ticket prices for sporting events?  Sure.

 

Do I want to pay these ridiculous prices?   Hell no!
 

A few years ago, with the Rams playing in the Super Bowl in LA, a a Rams fan friend asked me to go to the game with him.  Basic Ticket prices were $4500.  No way was I going to pay that for a game.  This last Super Bowl, the prices were around $6500.  I am totally priced out.

 

My Oakland A’s moved to Sacramento so I thought I’d catch a few games but learned that they’re charging the highest average ticket prices in MLB.  Goodnight!

I live in VA and was checking tickets for the Panthers game in Charlotte. That's only about a 4 hour drive for me. Crazy prices. I'm not going if I can't get decent priced seats that are in the middle somewhere between the 30's. And I'm not paying $600-$700 a ticket.
