They aren't charging 50% extra for any game, and you're saying that like they are doing us a favor..

Point taken John.

This was a fine post until those last three words. No need to denigrate other members.

Remember, that's not 50% higher than some "true value" or market value price, but simply 50% higher than the Twins chosen season ticket price. If you don't want to pay that price, buy a season ticket, or go to a different game, or just do what I do and watch craigslist or scalpers on the street.

I posted this in the original blog comments, but it would be interesting to see this Twins historical ticket price data compared to other teams in the league. Obviously these prices have been a league-wide (or economy-wide) trend, but it would be interesting to see where the Twins fell on that trend line.
