| From 2010 to 2012 these seats went from $12 to $20. |
A week or two back the Yankees released the 2012 ticket prices and plans much to the disgust of fans, who were once again hit with rising prices. They also changed up the ticket plans, realizing that the mid-week plans were a rip off so they tossed in either two Red Sox games in or one BoSox game and opening day. This has effected us here at NYY Stars and Pinstripes, as a midweek plan holder, we now get two Boston games. Too bad the Sox games they include are the last weekend of season, when instead of seeing a race to the division title we instead will see two teams who have either locked up a spot in the playoffs or missed the playoffs.
Despite this and raising the price of our bleacher seats to $20, we still plan to renew. The question I have gotten most about this is why? I know the secondary market very well and realize that I could get many of these games for much less. But I know that I can sell my tickets for face value to friends, family and co-workers. I also like knowing what games I will be attending ahead of time, otherwise I end up not attending many games. Final reason is mostly because I plan to attempt to upgrade to a weekend plan and sell the games I can not attend.
With all the people dropping plans, now is a good time to upgrade to a better location and I think that I can finally move to a weekend bleacher plan. The pre-sale code for the regular and postseason are major pluses, so that also helps.
January 9th is the final chance to pay for your package, last year the open house and upgrades came not long after. The same should be true about this season.
