Citi Field ticket prices: uh oh is my math right???

SS

The great Phil Mushnick wrote today about a guy he knows with season tickets. This is the first insight at all I know of into the price increases.

I'm mobile right now so let's see if I can do some half-arse math.


Phil says his friends tix for four seats will be going from 33,300 to $56,700. Some quick division shows that to be 70 percent more expensive


SEVENTY PERCENT???!!


Please someone tell me I'm a moron who doesn't understand math.


$56,700 divided by 81 is $700 a game. Yep thats the same number Mushnick got. 4 seats - so now we know there are some $175 seats in Citifield.


I'm tempted to speculate on upper deck. Even a $5 seat would become $8.50


I'll concede I'm fast and loose with the numbers here, plenty of assumptions being made, etc etc - but I'm sensing an expensive 2009.


At least there are no personal seat licenses. I think. Hope.

Where are your friends seats, Officer? That sounds about right to me -- but yeesh 56,700 for 4 seats...that's 14,000 for 81 games!!! are they like right behind the dugout or something? I already kind of know that my current seats in mezzanine will be more like the lower level of the upper deck at citifield -- or maybe even the upper upper deck.

My seats are cheapies. The $14,000 seats were a friend of Phil Mushnick's.

I have no hard data about price increases, just this anecdote that Phil's friend's seats are up 70%

My seats are in the upper deck section 2 - still no word from the Mets about $. An associate of mine has 4 Yankees tix in a great location. This year - $250/seat = $81,000 for the season. Next year similar location is $650/seat! $210,600 for the season!!! Hey George, what about the little guy?

$210K for the season. Wow. Maybe he should just buy a minor league team.
