faba Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Yankees release 2008 schedule, with regular-season Stadium finale Sept. 21 td.yspwidearticlebody { font-size: 13.5px; }December 17, 2007 NEW YORK (AP) -- The final regular-season game at Yankee Stadium will be Sept. 21 against Baltimore, and New York is raising prices for its best box seats by $100 to $250. The Yankees released their 2008 schedule and ticket prices on Monday for the last season in The House That Ruth Built, which opened in 1923. The team plans to move in 2009 into a new ballpark being built across the street in the Bronx. New York will open at home against the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday, March 31. The 79th major league All-Star game will be played at Yankee Stadium on July 15. And if New York misses the playoffs, the final series in the beloved ballpark would be Sept. 19-21 against Baltimore. The Yankees also will host San Diego, Cincinnati and the New York Mets in interleague play, and make their first trip to Pittsburgh since the 1960 World Series. The Yankees increased most of their ticket prices. The most expensive box seats closest to the field went from $150 in 2007 to $250 next year as part of full season-ticket plans. Those are all sold out. In the unlikely event any of those seats are available for individual games, they would cost $325 in advance and $400 on game days. Depending on row and location, field championship seats run from $160-$250 as part of full season-ticket plans. This season, the range was $115-$150. At the lower-priced end, bleacher seats not purchased as part of a season-ticket package rose from $12 to $14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIGHT STALKER Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 You have to pay for ARod's contract one way or the other. When I was a kid, bleacher seats were a buck I think. Reserved was 3.50 and box, which was the best seat in the house was 5.00. Yes I know....I'm old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that was a way to get your money's worth. 2 games, cheap eats, and a free bat (or cap or ball). Now-a-days, most doubleheaders are the 2 admission kind.

Maxman Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 The tickets prices actually don't bother me. It happens. What pisses me off is the hookers around the stadium. Their prices are out of control these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reserved was 3.50 and box, which was the best seat in the house was 5.00. Yes I know....I'm old. I paid $3.00 and that was in the late 80's early 90's. We used to sit and chant at the box seaters "We pay 3. You pay 10" "We have fun. You have none" Doesn't quite work with $14.00 and $250.00. And you can't even buy a beer in the bleachers.

Bob Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 I'm psyched that they're finally playing a weekend series in Toronto. That's a great place to see a ballgame. I'll get my tix as soon as they're available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
