ROCKIES, DODGERS BOOST TICKET PRICES FOR '99-2000 SEASON

          The Rockies "raised" ticket prices on 55% of their
     "higher-priced" seats for next season, according to Mike
     Klis of the DENVER POST, who reports that the average
     increase at 50,200-seat Coors Field was 4.8%.  Klis notes
     that with the "average ticket costing" $16.65 in '99, the
     "boost" comes out to $.80 a seat for next season.  Since the
     average home crowd was 42,976 last season, Klis writes that
     the ticket increase could mean $34,380 more per game. With
     81 home dates, the team "can draw an additional" $2.785M in
     revenues.  Klis adds that senior citizens and children under
     12 "can still watch" a game for $1 (DENVER POST, 11/23).

     in a new 565-seat area "under construction will sell" for
     between $195-225 a game (L.A. TIMES, 11/20).
