66in74 Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Went to a High School baseball game the other day and took my son and wife. Cost me $15 bucks to get in. ($5 each) I was talking with some parents and they were having to decide which parent attended and whether the other siblings could go. For example: Talked with one family who had Mom/Dad/ and 2 siblings. At 3 games a week it was costing them $60 per week. What is everyone charging to watch high school baseball? Just curious?

cbg Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 A few of the schools down here in South Florida now charge $5.00 per adult and all kids get in free. One athletic director explained to me that the school would get their money back from the kids at the concession stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First home game of the season was $5 per. 120 people were at the event. It didnt seem like a big deal. Some people are going to complain no matter what. Bad facility, bad food, no bathrooms bla bla bla. The schools do not pay for umpires, busses or maintenance and up keep but you know that already. Thank goodness for all the great booster clubs that help with as much as they can. Football games last year were $6 and I didnt see much improvement at my schools facility. You would think with crowds that large they would charge less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if I hit a nerve. /blink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" /> By the "schools" comment I assume you mean "school system"? Boosters in most all sports do a great job! /thumb[1].gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumb:" border="0" alt="thumb[1].gif" /> Football games are $6. A family of four going to 10 football games will pay $240 for the season. A family of four going to 32 baseball games will pay $640 for the season. With 3x's more baseball games per year you would think they would charge less. /dry.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=" And don't even try to compare equiping a baseball team to a football team from a cost standpoint. 1 (that's right 1) football helmet cost as much as 3 dozen baseballs and there are five officials to pay for each game in football not 2 and they are paid more per game! PS: You might not see it as a big deal, but I have talked with several families who are having to decide who all in the family get to go to see their student-athlete play /ohmy.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":o" border="0" alt="ohmy.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
66in74 Posted March 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 At Riverdale we sell season passes for $10 that gets you into every non-tournament game. You got a website? I might buy season tickets and come to Riverdale to watch HS baseball. /thumb[1].gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumb:" border="0" alt="thumb[1].gif" /> Over in that area 1-2x per week anyway.
