[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hundreds of dollars to go to a ball game? Where did you sit? $125 sweaters? Where are you shopping?[/quote]

I’m more curious what ball game YOU’RE going to? If you have a family of four, it’s hundreds of dollars. We go to a professional sports game every few years - usually baseball because it’s cheapest. We are able to get $60 tickets.  That’s $240 plus fees which make it about $300. Parking is usually $30. Food is another $100.

So $430 total. That’s baseball. Which is way cheaper than football or basketball [/quote]

PP here ( I didn’t post at 11:18). First of all, you didn’t say “hundreds of dollars for 4 people”, but let’s look at it per person. You “are able to get” tickets for $15 plus $2 in fees to today’s Nationals game. $17 a ticket. That saves you more than $160 right there. If you want to eat during the game, take in your own food.

We are going to a Baltimore game next week and our ticket total is $47 for two of us.

Getting to nationals and paying for parking is obscene

Sorry.  Never going to sporting events again

Other than high school baseball and football

That’s a different issue from exaggerating the cost of attending..[/quote]
