Fans being priced out a problem everywhere

[Mr. French]

beerfan- - -When I was in HS (1960-1964) I got season tickets to the NY Football Giants at Yankee Stadium.
I gave them up in 1965 because I went to College in MO.
I paid $49.00 for season tickets, with seats 20 rows back from the Yankee dugout in the end zone! Seven home games at $7.00 a game!
You can't go to the men's room for $49.00 today at Giants Stadium!

That’s “normal” inflation - no one would expect 60 years to pass and no price increase. Not QUITE what’s going on here.

After 60 years, when the men's basketball team is finally decent, he gets the axe

Seems to me there should be some sort of loyalty program, it should carry more weight, but it doesn't. My arguments fall on deaf ears too

That is about $500 in today's dollars, still a pretty good deal
