I think I'm beginning to understand why Red Sox fans feel entitled to championships. ;-) Holy smokes. I think I’m beginning to understand why Red Sox fans feel entitled to championships. ;-)

Of course they were Green Monster seats so it's worth the price of admission. I got my World Series tickets last year for $65 each. They were SRO for game 1 but we could see everything.

At that game I was complaining about spending it and questioning if it was a good call or not, and then Bronson Arroyo plunked A-Rod, and Varitek punched him in the face, well worth the dough, especially getting the Bill Mueller walk off...... best money I ever spent.

There's a "secret seat" in the Metrodome where it's $50 or so and two rows from the rail right behind the plate. According to the usher, when the new seating arrangement was set up, they had 12 seats and 11 season ticket owners, so if you're in the market for a single seat, it's usually there and really cheap. On a related note, that would be the most expensive ticket I've ever bought but didn't use. On a windy weekend, I had parked and was psyched up for a Schilling/Santana double bill when my ticket went missing. Must have fallen out of my pocket and blown out to some lucky parking lot attendant. That one still stings.

It was worth it too...even if the Padres got swept and Scott Brosius (dang!) got MVP. It was over $100 and upper deck behind first base.

Good (pricey) times. That was my first game at this baseball temple, too. I paid a little over 300$ for a pair of Red Sox tickets last season that were located behind the plate and like 15 rows up.
