A lifetime of sports fandom often starts with that first vision of the towering stadium before you, that first chance to see star players up close. This experience has become all but unaffordable for the typical family in the Los Angeles area.
Former Dodgers pitcher Rich Hill and his wife were arrested Saturday outside Gillette Stadium before the New England Patriots-Buffalo Bills game.
The Times asked the 11 major professional teams that call Los Angeles and Orange County home whether a family of four could attend a weekend game for $100 — tickets, parking, and something to eat and drink. When prices exceeded that amount, The Times asked teams what the most affordable option for a family might be.
LAFC offers 200 first-come, first-served tickets at $22 each, with discounted food and drinks in that section. The Dodgers declined requests to participate in the survey. According to the initial 2020 single-game prices posted on the team website last month, the Dodgers are selling tickets for as low as $10 to the two midweek Freeway Series exhibition games. The Dodgers are selling $21 tickets for only one weekend game next season; the minimum price for all others is $30.
Chris Hartweg, publisher of Team Marketing Report, said he worries what might happen in the industry as the older generations of fans that can afford such affluence die off.The secondary ticket market can provide access to cheap tickets. That might not always work for a family that needs to plan in advance and cannot attend a game on a school night.
“If you have made that investment for your company in one of those high-priced, VIP seating products, are you going to ask your colleague to bring the kids to the game? No, you’re going to bring a client that might sign a multi-million-dollar contract to the game,” he said, “because you’re plunking down thousands just for the game, and possibly hundreds of thousands for seats in a great place, or for the suite, which could be a million-plus.
