A ticket isn't worth $50 if nobody is willing to pay it. An empty seat "spoils" like old fruit....it can't be sold. Considering the small marginal cost of admitting another fan, teams are going to have to start looking at those empty seats and thinking that a couple bucks is better than nothing when you are trying to stay alive in a tough economy. I am looking forward to seeing what happens, particularly in hockey and baseball, in the next year. If the Colorado Rockies are smart enough to realize the market value of a ticket when the Cubs come to town is higher than usual, they should also consider that a tuesday night game against the Pirates should cost about $1, with a beer included and free parking.Glenn Locke, The Tall Thin Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02618799613161990601noreply@blogger.com
