Wow, I went to a Brewers baseball game last night and had a great time.(they won) :win: I hadn't gone to see a major league baseball game in quite a few years, so when our dear neighbors invited us to join them we jumped on the opportunity. We enjoy our neighbors very much and they wanted to with my husband when he went to his first American major league baseball game. He, by the way, had a really terrific time!
But back to what was shocking. The costs. The tickets were $45.00 a piece and then parking was around $10.00. Do you want a soda, well then get ready to pay $3.75 for a 16oz plastic bottle that you can buy for $1.25 at a convenience store. I was shocked it was actually more than the airport! I thought nothing could beat airport charges! Then a hot dog, $4.00, a margarita ( I just love 'em) $7.00, a bag of cotton candy was $5.00 and the list goes on. I never expected the prices to be that outrageous, especially as the ticket prices are so high. Is that how all major league sports games priced, in the USA, and other countries? I mean I know the food would be different between the USA and Japan, but in Japan are the prices that high or what about European countries? We certainly didn't hold back as we wanted to savor the night and it was a good time for all of us, but today looking back on what we spent I am not so sure it was worth it.
