I believe there are many people that might be able to afford game tickets more often, but the parking and food prices are out of their budget, so they don't go.

I believe that the Orioles have run the numbers and they think that they make more money with higher prices on concessions but fewer people buying them, than lower prices with more people buying. To me that's always seemed short-sighted, but most US sports have trended in that direction on pricing everything for decades.

Look at the Atlanta Falcons concession prices.Owner tries to be 40% lower then other NFLstadiums. So cheap they put their prices on their website,unlike when the Sun asked the Orioles for the concession prices and would not answer.

Atlanta United (soccer) plays there, too, and they're known for having just about the only reasonably priced food and drink in MLS. They finished 11th in the eastern conference but easily led the league drawing 47k a game.

Orioles ticket prices have got out of control. I went to both opening days in Boston and Baltimore. Boston was a much cheaper ticket. Granted I sat in $250 seats I paid $55 for tonight. $250 a ticket is insane.

Yes,the untold story for box seats. First ten rows for box seats are now $250.00 for certain games and over l$100.00  for the A's series coming up. 

Texas Rangers do concession promotions like $1.00 hot dog Wednesdays and $1.00 Sunday Sunday for the kids .Aldo many ganes gave $4.00 happy hour beers. Many teams do these type of promotions

Same owner as the Falcons?

Sorry for the A's on Tuesday, Section 50,Row 3,Seat 12 is $150.00. The two teams with the lowest payrolls. Looks like no correlation between payroll and concessions to  ticket prices.  The Orioles used to have that advertisement that the Orioles are one of the fan friendly and one of the cheapest entertainment values in MLB.

I think the ticket prices for The Masters kind of make up for whatever damage you’d wanna do at the concession stand. 

It was $100.  Tournament rounds are $140.  Well worth it!  The hard part is winning the lottery to be able to buy them.  Outrageous prices you see online are scalpers.

The tip options that pop up in this new cashless Camden yards are also absurd. What used to be a 1-2 dollar cash tip seems the Orioles are now expecting us to tip 4, 5, 6 dollars for.  It’s ridiculous.

Well if you spend $50.00 on four beers should be higher 🤩

It’s why I always bring $1 bills along

I was going to post a separate thread. I’ll just talk about Opening Day here. Had busy weekend. 
 

-The food lines OD were brutal. Yes, I get a ton of people but it was a joke. 

-bathroom lines were long but moved fast 

-the discount Birdland members get was not working on OD. How this is possible is just amazing

-I had really good seats on OD,  best ever. The speakers which are bad on other spots in the park are pathetic. I find it hard to believe they can’t take care of this. Let’s MSA reimburse them. It’s weak. 
 

Side note: I see on Saturdays gates will open 2 hours before games. Apparently no other days.

    • It takes Orioles rookies 60 or 70 at bats to get their first two hits.
    • Tell me how can Harbaugh help him when he doesn't know how to help himself. Harbs is the worst at burning timeouts stupidly then not having any when they are needed at crunch time. 
    • Yes the same here. They are going to the playoffs and yet I have no feeling towards it whatsoever. Weird feeling. Like you just know they are going to get bounced in the first round. It looks inevitable. I mean you could make a case the Tigers are more deserving of the Orioles spot. They are playing some great baseball of late. 
    • Man Baltimore sports has not been kind. The Orioles are on a  3 month tailspin and the Ravens did what they do best and blew another double digit 4th quarter lead to a inferior team.  Let's see if the Orioles can right the ship,  though I'm not holding my breath on that one at all. Yikes. 
    • Idk how impactful this was, probably pretty low on the list of problems, but this is the 2nd straight week that Lamar threw the ball late in the game and the receiver was unable to get oob.  The ball to Bateman is probably excusable because we had more time on the clock and we needed the deep ball to be in position to make a run, but this time throwing a 12 yard dump to Andrews was just straight up stupid IMO.  I get that they're going to play outside leverage all day every day in this situation but just throw it away and try to take another shot.  Lamar has to have more clock awareness than that,  and Harbaugh has to instill in him the importance of saving those seconds on the clock.
    • Sorry but that response from Fuller sounds to me like too many words, concepts, abstractions, and if that's how he communicates, wordy and convoluted, it's a lot for hitters to carry "into the box." Not to mention all the specifics involved, re. what pitches and locations to look for, all the analytics of how to do the swing and torque the body, etc. I'm no coach but I can imagine a whole season of this approach just becomes information overload. Maybe it's not rocket science, after all (with all due respect to ex-NASA Sig). Maybe the antidote is more Zen: just see the pitch and hit the dang thing.  BTW I think the analytical, overthinking approach is better suited to the pitching side, where you can plan your attack based on all the data. Hitting is more reaction, no time to think. You can't beat pitching using the same approach--rather, need the opposite approach, to counter with instinct and intuition. At least, that's my cheap (2 cents) advice!
    • The proposition that every auction automatically results in an overpay is simplified indeed.  Granted, "kind of true" is a low bar to clear, but still...
