Although historically if fans wanted the cheapest ticket Dodger Stadium, they "headed for the top deck," the least expensive seats at the ballpark this year "are on the reserved level, near each foul pole," according to Bill Shaikin of the L.A. TIMES. The cheapest tickets "will cost $11, for seats at the far ends of the reserved level," while a seat on the top deck "will cost $12." That price "is offered for 11 of the 81 home games, all weeknight games with no promotions." The Dodgers "price their home games at four levels based on perceived popularity, reserving the right to move games to different levels based on demand." The team "set the most expensive prices this year for 17 games, aside from Opening Day, including all 10 bobblehead nights." For those games, prices "range from $30 to $150, with luxury seats available from $200 to $1,050." The Dodgers last year "capped season-ticket sales at 35,000." Team President & CEO Stan Kasten has said that the cap "would remain in place." Dodgers VP/Ticket Sales David Siegel said the team expects to sell “no less than last season.” Siegal said that the team's renewal rate for season seats "is above 95% for the second consecutive year." He added that the decision to make the top deck pricier than the ends of the reserved level "was driven in part by improvements to concession and bathroom facilities on the top deck," which has about 4,000 seats (L.A. TIMES, 1/30).
