Outrage Alert: The fatcat Cubs charge more for tickets than we do

We are vastly undercharging for our product.

To the supply-siders who claim Yankee tickets are too expensive, consider this:

In its annual study released Wednesday, the Team Marketing Report concluded that the Cubs have overtaken both the Yankees and Red Sox for baseball's highest-priced ticket.



The average ticket for non-premium sections at Wrigley Field now costs $52.56, a 10.1 percent increase over last year. Boston's Fenway Park is just behind at $52.32, a 4.1 percent increase from 2009. Yankee Stadium has dropped from first to third at $51.83 after a mere 0.4 percent increase from last year.

This is crazy. We have 27 World Championships. What do the Cubs have, Ted Lilly?
Why aren't our tickets the most expensive?
Randy Levine, you got some splainin' to do.
YANKEES: UP YOUR TICKET PRICES, NOW!
FAIR VALUE FOR WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS.
NO MORE GIVING IT AWAY.

Simple economics, Wrigley Field has less capacity.
