Angels Raising Prices Of
Most Tickets For Next Season
|
The Angels “raised the price of almost every seat” in Angel Stadium for next season and “removed about 9,300 seats from the ‘buy two, get two free’ season-ticket program,” according to Bill Shaikin of the L.A. TIMES. The “buy two, get two free” promotion will remain available with no price increase “for about 4,200 less-desirable seats on the view level, generally above the foul poles.” Meanwhile, Diamond Club seats, which sold for $82.50 this year, “will jump to $125 for the first row, $104 for the next five rows and $93 elsewhere.” Field level seats behind the dugout sold this year at $49.50 for the first row and $42 otherwise, “will jump to $58 for the first row, $52 for the next five rows and $46 otherwise.” The Angels “raised the price of all other seats from $1 to $4 each” (L.A. TIMES, 10/14).
ROYALS: In K.C., Bob Dutton wrote the Royals, despite a third-straight 100-loss season, will raise ticket prices for the second time in three years. The increase applies to all seats in Kauffman Stadium and ranges from a $1 increase in the corners of the upper deck “to a $25 jump, from $200 to $225, for the crown seats.” The Royals’ average ticket price of $13.71 in ’06 was the lowest in baseball. Team officials said that the average “will remain less than $15” in ’07 and that “more than 20,000 of their 40,758 seats will sell for less that $14 when bought on an individual-game basis.” Also, tickets for eight games will be offered at a 50% discount to residents of Jackson County (MO) “in return for county residents approving a referendum to fund a renovation of Kauffman Stadium” (K.C. STAR, 10/14).
